Our favorite fisherman is now casting in the big pond in the sky, you might say, as of this afternoon. We are grieving, and also glad that he is now at peace. These are not easy times, but the wheel of life turns this way and that, and today’s turn took our favorite hunter-gatherer. These were two of the four keepers he caught this lucky day back in September 2021. They were fine eating. We miss him greatly.

I braved the overcast nippy morn in proper garmetage to be quite comfy. Side effect: hat hair, the winter static-y kind. Took me back to my Midwest days.

I walked down to the park, and sat, nay basked, in the sunshine while nearby geese busily snatched grass yum yum from the roots. The basking was magical.

If I believed in omens, I’d think this colorful dawn sky is a good one for the new year. Since I don’t, I’m going with uplifting beauty.

Distracted by This-n-That today…so this photo is from thirteen years ago.
