RDP: A WORD TYPED on CLIMATE

Here I sit thinking about what words to type regarding Climate. Where I live now the climate can change within a matter of minutes sometimes catching you unaware. It can be bright and sunny 🌞 needing shades 😎 in the morning, beautiful white ☁️ clouds ⛅️ rolling in the afternoon, and pouring down rain with thunder and lightning ⚡️ ⛈️ by early evening.

Now the Climate in the county where I lived when I was growing up you could travel to the beach, the mountains, and the desert all in one day. If you did ; the Climate would be so you’d need your bathing suit and sunglasses 😎 and sunscreen at the beach, a warm jacket 🧥 in the mountains, and possibly all of the above in the desert 🏜️ depending on time of day and how long you intended to be there. Now don’t forget to bring along an umbrella 🌂 ☂️ ☔️ because you never know when the rains will come tumbling down upon you.

From Morning to Afternoon (Rains came a few later):

FOWC: HOME

What do you think about when you hear the term home?

According to Wikipedia, Home or domicile is a space used as a permanent or semi-permanent residence for one or many humans and sometimes animal companions.

Do you have to have an actual house to have a home? Some might say you do; regardless of whether it be a house, an apartment or a mobile home. Still others would disagree. Myself, I would disagree.

One of my favorite sayings is “Home is Where the Heart is.” What does it mean by “Home is Where the Heart is?” It means simply that your home that your home will always be the place for which you feel the deepest affection, no matter where you are. Often times the place I have the greatest affection for has no walls at all. I am most at home in the woods surrounded by trees and the vast beauty of God’s creation out in nature.

Recently I have been living with my daughter and her son taking care of him 24/7. We moved a week ago from an apartment in Rock Hill, South Carolina to a townhome in Gastonia, North Carolina. Really only a little less than an hour away from where we were. Do I consider it my home? Not really. But maybe temporarily, since my heart lies with my grandson.

Moving from one dwelling to another can be extremely stressful. Packing, unpacking, all while trying to keep a three-year-old entertained can take a toll on a person. I know all too well. Especially if the move is not well planned in advance. I do not handle last minute decisions or moves all that well.

We are now in a townhome in a very quiet neighborhood unlike our last one which was very very noisy. Here no one live above us. It is so wonderful not to hear footsteps all hours of the night or day.

Coleman and I have been taking walks around the neighborhood investigating our new surroundings. Seeing what we can see and taking photos of interesting sights.

Coleman is still adjusting having only been here for a week and a half so far, however, I think he likes the new place so much more than the old one and is happier here being able to feel free to walk around, I know I do not know what I would do if I did not have him to love and share my love of nature.
