Meanness and Grace

Does it seem to you that people are more gracious this year? Harry and I have the opportunity to meet a lot of people through friends, work, and vacation rentals. This year people have been more gracious than ever. It's wonderful. What have you noticed? I want to hear; please comment..
(The above mean photo is of my cat, Smudge. This was taken last year. She's a little sweeter this year :-) Below are photos of grace that I took at Watkins Farm, Jason and his granny, and a couple singing to each other at Pleasant Bay Nursing (where his granny is now).)

(www.oz-farm.com ) I just drove Jason, his guitar, and duffle bag to the P & B bus that will take him to Logan Airport. He's flying to San Francisco where he will meet up again with his girlfriend, Rebecca, and travel to Oz Farm for an internship. Here's the description of Oz Farm on their website: 'Oz Farm is hidden in a quiet, private valley on one of the most pristine stretches of the scenic Mendocino County coast, 130 miles north of San Francisco. (Map & Directions) Bordered with redwood forest, and with the Garcia River running through its 240 acres, Oz Farm is blessed with tranquility, fresh air and clear water. Oz Farm is 'off-the-grid', using solar and wind power for all its operations.' It's an organic farm. They also rent out cabins, accommodate weddings, and yoga retreats, etc. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? Jason is especially interested in their goats, chickens and organic farming. So, you are not in Kansas anymore, dear Jason and Rebecca! Happy Trails! And don't forget to call your mom.
