A New Year
01st January 2026
I woke up to a wonderful soft coating of my view - insulating snow caressing each branch. I am thinking of the squirrel family in the ancient tree outside this image to the left.

My phone snap shows a closeup of what I discovered the first morning in my new home, or should I say shelter. This arresting heart is what I look for, making sure it has survived another night. Frequent Winter Cape winds throw the limbs about.
But we are made of resilient stuff. At least so far.
As I am more conscious, I remember. Today is the official ending of the independent entity of The "Thoreau Society," now subsumed into a separate organization named the "Thoreau Alliance."
Simply stated, sn alliance is not a society.
