Musings

The word history traces back to the Greek, where its meaning required investigation/inquiry and research; it wasn’t merely story telling. History also has a context (social, cultural, temporal, etc.), and, sometimes, good luck figuring that out.

Apologies for the two-day delay in posting….

It was so very pleasant outside this afternoon that I took El_Laptop outside and felt the sun on my face as I typed and browsed and watched the leaves fall.

One month ago I found this beauty on the beach. It’s prettier than the leaves we raked today, so I decided to reach back for a pretty. You can imagine the leaves (none of them from maple trees).

Meet the Arc de Neon II. The original was broken by TreeFall I, so we’ve had Arc II for years.

I nearly forgot to blog this evening. Guess why? [Nothing to say [especially about current events], in essence.]

I saw this fading pot of mums and thought 50–50, 50–50 blooms and dried blooms (with plenty not quite either). Today is a nationwide 50–50, approximately, before the polls closed. After the count, it’ll be no longer 50–50, at least based on the electoral college (almost typed collage 🤣 ).

I am edgy, worried, and tense. My blood pressure must be elevated. I’m going to Think Pink, and hope for increased calm.

I’m so glad that most of our devices are reset automatically. What I worry about is my body. This time 🤣 it was totally unexpected. I slept right to my “usual” wake-up time, which of course was an hour later. This nearly never happens.

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

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.
