Musings

I used our spring REI discount on a lightweight, well-cushioned shoe for my near-daily walks. They look a bit like modernized corrective shoes, but, man-o-man do they feel good for my feet and knees (after two days). [Fingers crossed this continues!]

Words floating by today: Patapsco, prill, torque.

This afternoon a beam-let danced on a small area on the tablecloth, and made it seem like hoity-toity old-timey brocade. Sorta.

I do enjoy the “regular” redbuds very much, yet I also always look for the few white redbuds that are scattered in this neighborhood.

This is the first summer “insect” picture, in which I take a flower picture, then find when I look closely at the photo that I also made a bug-portrait.

Penultimate 2023–2024 winter sunset…sometimes it’s worth it to look backwards.

Early this evening I looked out the window and was awash in the feeling that I could tell the days were longer. Then I thought about it. Nope; well, a little. Mostly, I was noticing the apparent longer days from the time change.

Springtime brings petal drifts. That they are short-lived is part of their attraction.

I don’t…know the time, that is. I can easily read a clock, but my body is confused. We do this twice a year…why?

Title acronym refers to “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” Chicago, 1969.

Rainy now, but earlier it wasn’t raining and a crew put a fence up on the edge of our backyard…the neighbors’ project. I’m glad to have the fence; they won’t be looking in our windows any more…yay!

?!x&@# parking garages…and the people who don’t know how to negotiate them. Note: I’m fine now.

We early voted and I got freebies! Of course, I got my peach, but our voting location is in the back of our library, and the path dumps you in the library after you put your vote in the machine. Last time I was vote 523. This time I was 526. Weird. Anyway, if I told the librarian at the help station your “favorite” Dune 2 character, I got a free tote bag. Wow! Anyway, that’s the “E” at the end of Dune on my new tote!
