Anita Graham @EeWhan (183) • United States 18 Jul 20

Not every moment of 2020 is a bad one. I thank the starz every day for my beautiful view. I can put aside the sad news we hear over and over, and just be in the moment to remind me not all news is bad news. Hope all of y'all...

Scary fires in Oz...But there is always hope.

Anita Graham @EeWhan (183) • United States 17 Jan 20

Here in Oregon they go ahead and log burn sites. A lot of times the brush burns and the trees are scorched/burned on the outside but still okay inside. So they cut them down and send them to a mill to salvage the lumber and clear...

Anita Graham @EeWhan (183) • United States 3 Jan 20

Nice day today but another storm due tonight. I guess that describes life, huh? Australia having terrible fires, other countries flood. I guess there is no perfect place and most of life is what we make of it. For some reason I...
