Musings

I treated myself to quiet contemplation of the lake on a gorgeous day.

I zipped down to see the sun rise while the coffee dripped.

Mid-morning at the rain barrel.

I came up with a new-to-me recipe for a dip…greek yogurt, chives…

…chopped fresh mint, and black pepper, with a drizzle of olive oil. Yum.

This photo trio is from just before 9am. Backlit mint.

Canada goose wheeling.

Quiet lake, with sand-tracks.

9:25am. The sky and waves resemble the last few days. A few minutes later, I watched the bald eagle fly west over the lake, very low, like he/she was exploiting ground effect (lake effect?). Efficiency.

3:50pm. We had actual rain…enough to get the flagstones wet. Then, it quit.

Residual roof-flow did drip into the rain barrel, but not enough to even raise the level a half-inch. An hour or so later, we got another brief sprinkle, that time not enough to get the stones completely wet.

Today’s wind meant when I was out in the orchard I heard periodic apple thumps and couldn’t smell the rich aroma of apple cider.

This morning was so different from yesterday. This was 9:37am…no multi-color dawn today, just cloud cover. Nothing wrong with that in the greater scheme of things, so we’ll just accept this for comparative data.

7:04am beauty.

7:10am in the opposite direction.

The dawn color emphasized that I left wet-stuff on the line overnight. Made no difference, I’m sure.

Dried ferns…on the way to composting.

Evening reflection….

I’m offering another lovely morning wide shot of the lake.

Okay, here’s something new for this blahg. It’s a Harley-Davidson Freewheeler (aka three-wheeler) with a fairing with a screen and an add-on phone mount and short-but-long-enough charging cable. All these options surprised me; I think of Harleys as two-wheelers. I’m sooooo out of date.
