At Cape May

 Arrived on May 23 to a bright, hot sunny day. Since then, the temperature dropped and it's been too cold to sit on the porch.  Still, I love being here.  Four of us the first day; now we're up to 10, and by the weekend we will be 20. I am such an introvert that such a loud and chatty group overwhelms me, but I am still glad to be here. We had some "high drama" and angry outbursts at home the two days before I left, which made me very glad to be away.

I can't get myself to go out early to the birding sites, mainly because of my very real fears of  - how to put it delicately? -  pooping accidents.  This is depressing, but there it is.  I can't do an hour away from any access to a bathroom.

Still I love being here.  Here are some photos of Cape May by other Cape May lovers:

Rainy May days

 

I meant to write sooner, but I am struggling with depression just now... that not wanting to do anything.

Thank God the garden keeps me moving, but with the cold rainy days, and with the plants that keep growing and needing to be cut back ... so many!  I feel loath to address them either.

I keep listening to my audiobooks and re-watching "The Chosen" and reading Facebook.

And now I am in the midst of grading 24 essays, anticipating 24 more essay exams coming on Tuesday.

Maybe by this time next week I will be emerging .Sigh. 

But here are some lovely memes from The Garden of Bright Images.
