I fear that something magnificent or something awful and sad will happen soon.   Life is feeling big and huge again, but I really can't handle another shock or downturn.  I hope for a gentle lift-up. 

In any case, I need to have a clear conversation with my mother-in-law sometime soon so that I can resolve that weirdness.

Happy Solstice.

Goumi berries are low in pectin, btw.
