Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

My mother is visiting us for Thanksgiving, the first time we've seen her since February 2020.

I met Mom at the airport this afternoon. We took a cab home, and had a pleasant afternoon and evening of conversation. cattitude made braised rutabaga for supper, which she liked a lot. She went to bed a bit after nine, which is later than I was expecting (that's after 2 a.m. London time). Tomorrow's plan is to get to the grocery store in the morning, hopefully before it gets too crowded, and not do much else.
