The title is from The Telling by Ursula K. LeGuin. Although I had read most of her books, this was not one of them, so I sat down for an easy 1 - 2 day read. A few interesting ideas -- it was part of her Hainish universe of stories -- I was sad that LeGuin passed away last year because it meant there would be no new books from her!

This line struck me as applicable to our modern day politics -- "modern day has too much religious & political belief and not enough knowledge."

Winter Activities

Besides reading, other winter activities include bread baking --


...and selfie taking --
Winter Indoors Selfie

...and finishing that paint job of the basement stairs / mudroom area -- before and after shown below. There's more that could be done, but it at least makes that part of the house presentable.


...and filing my taxes -- although not an enjoyable job, it's probably a good winter indoors activity.

...and watching the Amaryllis plants bloom. Of the five, two have bloomed so far, and a third is about to bloom. Two of them look like they may take a pass and not bloom this year.
