Musings

At BookClub, we always talk about more than The Book. This time, we also went out to check our hostess’s new patio upgrade (already had the waterfall; the fireplace is new), and furthermore did a bit of star-gazing (not shown—heh).

Isn’t this a fab wreath! [It’s the neighbor’s, along with many other wonderful decorations, some even real and smelling…wonderfully evergreen.]

This makes a fine still-life, no?

We had rain off and on all day, and I looked out into the gloom at one point, and a sprig of a 5 foot tree in the understory sported bright yellow leaves, such survivors.

I found out today that coral and jade are the 35th wedding anniversary materials.

Windows are pretty amazing. And relatively modern. Glad I don’t live, at least part of the day, in a window-less structure with dried mud walls. Anyway, glass…so good.

It turns out I sometimes (often?) make a trap for myself. You see, I select a photo and get it ready to post, then set it aside to wait for words, an idea…that part. Then, I can forget I need to actually do the post…and whoops, like tonight, I zipped back downstairs to find words and make it happen. Goodnight!

I like this hazy reality, achieved by shooting/looking through a dirty window, and also I was enjoying a lovely albeit chilly dawn a-breaking.

Two possible interpretations: 1) it’s a stepping stone; or 2) it’s almost 2025, just one more month to go, and let’s hurry.

Clearly, I’m no comedy writer.

A cat and her toys; she didn’t play with any of them while we were there.

I present (household) infrastructure in recognition of today’s early-voting (very institutional, and supporting of infrastructure). Runoff election: one person/office. I think there were eight officials ready to check us in, and more by the voting booths/ballot machines…and no other voters besides the two of us.

As I moved along, I discussed T-giving plans and cooking obligations with the ladies. I thought the best story was from the voting machine attendant who said she had seven sisters and they were doing everything but the institutional-sized container of mac-cheese she was making/bringing.

LSS = long story short (intended sarcastically)

Something about the pallets and the diamonds of light made this for me. And the pipe. And the scrolls in the chair backs. Plus the shade of blue of the wall and the horizontals of the bricks. Also, the messiness of the detritus on the painted concrete below. There ya go.
