Musings

I hope this makes some kind of sense: I’d like to swim in a pool of that intense and vital pink.

Poorly framed, distracting background. Still…such glorious, delicate colors.

Pollen season, but pollen vanquished (temporarily) by storms in the last twenty-four. Sunny. Not hot, yet pleasantly cool. With dogwoods in bloom.

Wicked weather came through starting about midnight(ish), lasting until daylight. With wind. And more wind. Do Not Like Wind. And some rain. But, now: all is well with the weather.

The color is ho-hum, but the shape-contrasts are fabulous.

And a wee update from That Corner. After having that smooth cement surface, today it got a new asphalt layer. That I didn’t expect.

Probably along with twenty-seven or eighty-four (or more?) other television stations around the USA, one of our local affiliates’ weather team is using a new (to them) hot phrase for select days ahead with a worrisome prediction. They call them First Alert days. And now that they’ve been using this marketing model for a few weeks, I noticed that the promotional phrase has been turned into a verb, as in: “I’m First Alerting Thursday.” Evolution in front of our very ears.

Took a lovely stroll through Le Parque aka Piedmont…glorious afternoon. Saw the (resident?) great blue three times; it’s usually just once as s/he stays in one place…unknown reason for agitation.

Did some serious house-cleaning today. Long needed. Managed to remember to turn my watch on to record my activity as activity instead of merely being active. This makes a huge difference to the amount of “credit” I get. Thus, I achieved huge active numbers. Yay for me.

Photo from the other day. After all, I was indoors.

Yeah, I know most cut flowers in this country are flown in—not green—and grown in irrigated fields—also generally an environmental negative. But, company’s coming: Had to have flowers. As in a (selfish) First World “Had.”

Azaleas on the verge of popping.
