Musings

After a long series of murky days, having a sunny, pleasant day meant I was sure I could tell our day-length has increased since the shortest day…was it? Which day? Only the shortest day is ahead of us—it’s the 21st. Next week! Hah.

This is the sky I was looking at three years ago, on 14 Dec 2019, somewhere north of Albuquerque. Little did we know what was coming that winter.

One lovely thing about being in Atlanta in December (and January and February)*—camellias in bloom.

Light show. Does it put you in the holiday spirit? Me? Not so much.

Went to what passes for a fancy bakery around here. It’s more than a bakery with wine and sandwiches and a deli mmmmm. I always find the colors of the macarons interesting. I usually think of them as including brighter colors. I didn’t ask what the flavors are. Use your imagination.

These are the fancy bakery items we did bring home. A raspberry cheesecake swirl. Love cheesecake. Love raspberry. And a crème brûlée. MMmmmm.

I am convinced that the “correction” on my phone’s camera makes the strangeness of fog…diminish. This is my best capture from the fog-season we’ve been living in most mornings lately. Embrace reality.

Tiz the season.

My mother called these zipperskins. I don’t recall hearing this term elsewhere, yet I can’t quite believe it was her personal language quirk.

Heavy fog in the morning and this evening, and all day it was moist. Although the wait at our polling place for early voting on Friday was something like two-and-a-half hours, today the wait was perhaps ten minutes.

As of now MSNBC is giving the edge to Incumbent Reverend Warnock, but also simultaneously indicates the race is too close to call. I do so hope that edge holds. Fingers crossed.

This is kinda me…a bit out of focus and awaiting the sun. 😃 😃 😃

Also, awaiting Tueday’s vote count.

While you may be thinking that this accumulation of ginkgo leaves means the ginkgo leaf drop has happened, lemme tell you that there are plenty of (non-scientific estimation) leaves remaining attached to the tree above.
