Window blur

I took this out the car window a couple of hours ago when it was rainier than it now is. A light fogginess added to the mystery and suspense that I imagined permeated the air I was zooming through.

Rundown of usuals

Sunny; mostly. Windy, more and more.
Lots of mature-tree issues. Sigh.
The little stuff, like this mushroom and its sentinel bivalve shell, seems to be fine. Whew.
Autumn arriving (more)

AC not flipping on = cooler weather.
Thai basil is madly trying to bloom, despite near-daily bud-nipping.
I see lazy-drifting yellow-gold leaves. Very intermittently.
Fall arrivé

Last night was drizzle and a music-festival soundtrack drifting over the nighttime-neighborhood.
Today was…cool, sunny, and the evening smells like dog-dung.
At least, that’s the odor a few steps from this gardenia.
High and low

In honor of the rainy mess in parts of Colorado, I’ve dipped into the archives for this drippy branch. I don’t know if this is a tamarisk or not. Meanwhile, here, the humidity stayed low.
Generous man

I had two omens to the contrary, and still I pursued my dream.
I exaggerate.
You see, I had a letter to mail. And decided to walk it to the box. By two, when the pickup is.
I checked the clock and knew I was cutting it close, but suited up (as in, put on sandals) to walk to the PO.
Asked the Guru if he wanted to venture out. No, he said, it’s going to rain. Okay, I said, I’m going to chance it.
Halfway to the PO I saw this sign—the second omen that I was on an ill-fated adventure.
I made it to the PO, and dropped the letter in the slot at 1:59. Aha, I thought, just in time!
I celebrated too soon.
Five minutes later, amidst a deluge on my return leg, I buzzed the Guru, and asked for a pickup, wet but happy.
Yes, Virginia…

Amazingly, more rain.
And, for a non-sequitur, loved Tuesday’s Colbert.
…there is a Daft Punk.
Train rain terrain (no complain)

We ventured out before the rain began. Yes, rain again. We now have had more rain this year than we did in all of 2012—without the July stats.
And it’s invigorating

I enjoy fog. Maybe if I had to commute in fog frequently or had it keep me land-bound, I’d feel different. But, mostly I get to look out at fog or walk around in it, without it limiting my activities. So, I find it special. It changes sound. It changes perceptions about the landscape. See, interesting.
