Settling

Things are pretty much settled again. I am grateful. The settling seems to go in fits and starts. I'm not sure whether this counts as a fit or a start,

We settle back down

In gratefulness

For being together again.

The daughter

In Scotland

The son

With a new job.

The turtle

Mostly

In hibernation.

The cats

Well the cats

Are as they are

They sleep a lot

Occasionally

They purr

Different tones

For each.

We settle

And here we are

grateful.
