Musings

Is it really the end of October? High of 79°F, of all things. Warm enough to melt squash?

I’m working hard, inside my head, to create a Halloween costume to go with these dragon fruit. Rrrrrr.

Doesn’t this look like it might be a whole universe thinly coating this leaf?

We became Big Consumers today…only for today…and very Apple-y at that. My 4+ year old watch brought $90 for trade-in, which is darned amazing IMHO. Now, I have a brighter screen (yay! aging eyes, you know), and a more durable battery—I’m told.

Photo with new iPhone. Yup.

The wind fought me, and made this three-second exposure a bit blurry, especially on the right. This fits the Sunday pace of life, I think.

My spidee sense says a time change looms, and this lovely evening light will be sliding back…and our dark mornings will be lighter…that’s the flip side…. Impossibly, I’d like more light at both ends of the day.

Yes, they were this bright. Love the azaleas, and they bloom over and over in the Deep South…with enough nutrients and moisture.

Am I wrong to guess that this homeowner, who has a pair of planters flanking the walkway leading from the sidewalk to the porch, and both have this crunchy beige “vegetation”…am I wrong 🤪 to think they’re specially planned Halloween decorations? 🤣

Confession: this photo is from last week in the UP, a daisy-ish fleur in a mowed path, nestled in with a dusting of fallen leaves.

I thought it was dry up there, yet it’s dry dry dry here, too—no rain yet in this month in ATL, which is…WOW!…as it’s already the 23rd. OTOH, it’s great to see a flower even if the weather is especially arid and un-supporting of plants.

Before holly berries get ripe, they are green. [Duh.] In the maturation process they turn from greenish to orange-tinted (as here), before finishing brilliant red.
