Musings

We received our first rain with a chance of soaking in since Helene. Yay. It began last night and into the morning, and then the afternoon was merely overcast and damp.

One month ago I found this beauty on the beach. It’s prettier than the leaves we raked today, so I decided to reach back for a pretty. You can imagine the leaves (none of them from maple trees).

Why o why did they decide to install a rustable bolt in the middle of their logo? Money, sure, probably. But it sure looks tacky.

This strawberry somehow went rogue on the way to the compost. Pretty, eh? Or: pretty interesting?

Meet the Arc de Neon II. The original was broken by TreeFall I, so we’ve had Arc II for years.

I’m assuming the hardware contributes, but I suspect it’s the software in my phone-cam that makes the night sky look like this—stars! How does it capture starlight so clearly?

Our outdoor furniture is catching the down-raining leaves.

I nearly forgot to blog this evening. Guess why? [Nothing to say [especially about current events], in essence.]

I’m thinking about the definition of democracy…then considering the destabilizing social discontent, the repeated unapologetic lying by squadrons of elected officials, and the rampant internet propagandizing…and I conclude that I don’t know where we’re going as a nation. Not that I have any political science chops or anything. 🤣

Regarding the title, I’m not sure that’s a daisy, and not a mum or an aster or some other botanical supporter of bumblebees.

I saw this fading pot of mums and thought 50–50, 50–50 blooms and dried blooms (with plenty not quite either). Today is a nationwide 50–50, approximately, before the polls closed. After the count, it’ll be no longer 50–50, at least based on the electoral college (almost typed collage 🤣 ).
