Musings

Sometimes a different perspective is enlightening.

I would have been happy without a train passing above, yet it was a bit of a thrill pounding by ka-thunk-ka-thunk-ka-thunk overhead.

Front came through last night. Sometimes that means fine, clear weather. Today: no. Wind increased all day, and the sun barely came out at all when I walked, although I went out early enough to give it a chance.

Even though I encountered several noisy leaf-blowers, I did manage to enjoy my outing just a tad. Outdoors is oh-kay. And I found a lovely burgeoning rosebud.

I’m going for the purely aesthetic: this is a lovely mossy gate.

Nothing more, nothing less.

In keeping with the winter-wise temperature transition, I have bowed to the gods of vitamin D, and I am now assuming that I will be wearing more clothing and exposing less skin on my outdoor ventures, and began this week taking supplemental vitamin D. (whew; run-on sentence nomination!).

However (echo: however), sunny today!)

Nice leetle joke of the tree-cutting crew to carefully place the stump right-side-up in the street. I didn’t quite do a double-take, but I did study it for a half-beat…. No, no stump/tree in the pavement. Just on.

I cannot anthropomorphize this into a conscious decision to bud as November comes to a close (in the northern hemisphere). It’s just an off-season accomplishment. Nothing more; nothing less. Avert your eyes; keep moving.

Did our wee family harvest celebration here today with our pod of very-careful six, ate take-out and my desserts, then sat in the living room afterwards and talked and laughed and laughed and talked.

I was so happy to see parties outdoors, masked, and distanced. We were so distant it was just the two of us. Turkey, cranberries, gravy, salad, pecan pie (from bakery). Made us happy and thankful for a good harvest.

As the complex system change-over to the incoming presidential administration speeds up, I was thinking about infrastructure. Here’s some that isn’t changing in January, I’m pretty sure!

Every once in a while the cosmos and my activities correspond and I glimpse a colorful, well-lit moment of transcendent beauty like this. Sigh.
