Pickleball and Northern Lights: November 11 2025

Oh golly, time does get away from me. I can’t remember when I last posted. Maybe 10 days ago!

I keep very busy with my day job and all of my activities, my creative writing, my writing groups, book clubs, women’s group, family and friends….

But I feel the tug to post on Hive and sometimes my reservoir of time and energy is simply at rock bottom by the end of the day!

Anyway! Tonight I had a blast playing pickleball with some friends. Wow, what a sport. I’ve found groups of people like who love to play a bit competitively but are really there for the fun, the exercise, and the camaraderie. We say “nice shot!” To the opponent when they hit a great serve or an awesome return. Why not? Everyone loves a moment of glory!

After our session we stepped outside to find that the northern lights were glowing in a spectacular fashion! I was able to capture a few pictures. It’s so stunning when you get to see it!

Well my friends, that is all for this post. I hope you are enjoying November!
