It's a new day

And for this new day we have some photos that were taken on a recent drive around our "hood". As much as I despise the cold, and the snow, and the dry air, and static electricity...I have to admit, we do live in one of the most beautiful areas.

We live in cranberry country. Literally. I live near Cranberry Rd and often get stuck in traffic on Cranberry Highway. I take classes at Cranberry Barn Studios and am looking into Cranberry Crossing Daycare. I can't go to Cranberry Dental, because they don't accept my insurance, but I'm really looking forward to checking out The Cranberry Book Barn. Should I go on? No? Okay. We're surrounded by cranberry bogs. I haven't counted them, but there's a real fucking lot. I missed most of the harvesting but managed to get this one at the end of our street.


This little guy was just hanging out in the middle of nowhere and scared the be-jezzus out of me. At first I thought he was a white wolf, though I think that was me wishing he was a white wolf.


I titled this one natures graveyard. It fits. Even ugly can be beautiful.


Another view of the same area.


One of the oldest churches in town. I've never set foot in it, and probably never will, but she is pretty to look at.


Blogger only lets me do five at a time and I'm too lazy to upload anymore right now. Time to "get my ass in gear", as my mom would say. It's not freezing today, so I think we may actually get outside to do some walking. I'm in serious need of some type of exercise to aid in fighting off this anxiety that it's slowly trying to take over my life again. Last night was a rough night, and I wanted nothing more than to just say "I'm scared" outloud for anyone to hear. But I didn't, because what would inevitably follow that statement would be the question "why?, what are you scared of?". And because I don't have an answer that would make sense to anyone who has never experienced this kind of anxiety, I don't say anything. It's become too much of an effort to try to explain, and my need to have someone understand isn't as great as it used to be.
