2023...

Experience has taught us to pretty much know the shelf life of milk...

of Cheetos...

of  a can of beans...

of a banana...

of a pair of hiking boots...

of one hour...

of a sunrise...

of a sunset...

of a tide...

of a full moon...

of a glass of wine...

of hope...

Experience has also taught us that we aren't sure of the shelf life of a heat wave...

of a blizzard...

of a day's work...

of a dug well...

of an iceberg...

of a salmon run...

of a humming birds return...

of good health...

of a love affair...

of a broken heart...

of trust...

of a need...

of loneliness...

but then again there's always hope for 2023.
