Trolls No longer hiding under bridges or lurking, threateningly, online, but suddenly friendly. Now we encounter trolls lumbering in forests and meadows, beside our still-living lakes and streams. Sturdy as oak trees, they smile down, handing on their message of enough, of simple abundance piled up everywhere. by Leslie Schultz 1.18.2025

I give thanks for life to walk this earth with beauty this day and all days I was visited and blessed by our local flock of turkeys, about 30 of them in all their glory. Ted Andrew says: Blessings. Blessings and abundance are present. Your efforts will soon be rewarded. Rewards will be proportionate to your efforts.
