Musings

I had some grand idea about suggesting a parallel between sunshine and…prosperity…but, instead, I’ll just say…well, the first fireworks went off within my hearing at 6:50 this evening.

On the 23rd, this was a near-empty tree lot with assorted fenced-in detritus abandoned…I thought. However, someone swooped in and the tree lot detritus no longer lingers. The only remaining clue of the sales lot that moved hundreds of trees is a line of blown-in leaves where the fence was (foreground).

Distracted by This-n-That today…so this photo is from thirteen years ago.

Sometimes I pick a picture, then time passes…and I think I’ve posted for the day. Even if I didn’t. Oops. [Delayed post.]

I stopped to take this photo, thinking there was some clever statement I could make about lights on the verge…but on the verge of what?

Then, this beauteous buteo flew in left-to-right, and landed on the sidewalk. Wha????

Of course, the bird didn’t linger, and flew down the street ahead of me, then veered off to the right.

I still don’t have a line about the verge…but I did end up with a fine, albeit brief, hawk story.

Mostly we had a misty-moist day, although we had some actual rain in the morning. The precip weighed down this pansy-planting…but it’ll be back after a half-day of sunshine.

We had a puddle Xmas. Drip drip drop.

Redolent with cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice, that is. Mmmm.

Two days after Thanksgiving, this lot was full of trees, and even some wreaths, most under large and extra-large tents. Two days ago, there were seven trees left. Today, I saw two, and one outside the fence leaning against the porte-potty (why?). Now, the tents are gone and just detritus remains.

Also, we visited two grocery stores, and neither had fresh cranberries.

Hmm. Got any rum?

Nope. Bourbon.

That’ll do!
