Along with the ground squirrels, I reacted to the false promise of
spring when the temperature hit 60 degrees last week. But the return
of a wintery blast is a reminder that it’s only the middle of February.
So don’t store the long johns or the ear muffs just yet.
An advantage of living in the country, besides some weird get-
ups to ward off the cold, is that neighbors can’t see some of my an­
tics. Last week when the bees and flies got active in the sunshine
I left the house so as not to disturb these dust bugs or whatever you
call those little hard-shelled insects that love to appear in the bathtub
or other unexpected places.
There was no way to tell about the state of the health of the rose
bushes and other plants that had been smothered in snow. Though
weeds and unwanted grasses appeared lively and green, the use of
a shovel produced some rather large mudballs.
I resorted to washing the car, which, like clean dishes, only lasts
momentarily. My enthusiasm, like my energy, soon wore thin for
other outside clean-up tasks. You can’t call a spade a spade unless
you can find it. And too often tools and other things are left where
they were last used. Only that person, including me, can locate said
items.
Those energy spurts perhaps come from a guilty feeling that I could
probably do more if I tried. That fact was especially brought home
to me while visiting with people when hubby was getting a check-up
in the Portland Veterans Hospital recently.
As always, the hospital personnel and patients there, of all ages,
are extremely friendly. One young man with wavy long hair asked
if the seat beside me was reserved. I replied that the only thing holding |
down that spot was an assortment of magazines.
After moving the magazines, he said that he could have sat on them .l
And he related what happened in his attorney's office when another
client asked if he was reading the newspaper on which he was sit- f
ting. He said he removed the newspaper and replied, “ Yes, with 1
a great deal of hindsight!”
As I sat on my duff, this guy was facing the reality of a growth
on a lung after just recovering from major surgery. But he could be
one of the fortunate ones compared with others there with terminal
illnesses or limited mobility.
To keep from falling asleep and to relieve arthritic stiffness. I took
a walk near the hospital entrance enjoying the balmy weather. Another
impromtu discussion ensued with a young man in his 30s who was
also marking time. Somehow this lead to a ‘state of affairs’
conversation.
What surprised me was this young person's declaration that televi­
sion with its tabloid-shocker type programming has led to the downfall
of morality and the increase of crime in this country. People of all
ages are influenced by programs and movies riddled with crime scenes
and violence, he said. My head nodded in agreement when he added
that this so-called type of entertainment should be censored and
perhaps return to a focus on the good old days of make-believe.
As we left there, I felt fortunate that I’m not one of the wheelchair
occupants, although
battling the rush-hour traffic in Portland is
definitely a hazard. But it’s good to know that of the 256 million
Americans there are still a lot of quality people out there from other
walks of life who would like to see the country clean up its act.
