Musings

We had a potluck dinner this evening, and these sage leaves were part of a fabulous salad that others contributed. I brought a big pot of veggie bean stew that some people might call chili, and many others would never call chili.

Here’s this morning’s dawn color. Exceptional.

Indoors, this is the persistant plant that has survived being left on its own for weeks at a time (outside where it could get rained on). As you can see, it’s sending up buds again.

Once again I began the day enjoying the early-day sky.

We jaunted to a nearby neighborhood to partake of a small family brunch that ended with an offering of an assortment of kooooo-keys. Throughout we laughed and laughed.

Happy boxing day eve eve, said the Guru. And I say it to you.

Also, watch out for a big guy swabbing your chimney with his red costume.

This morning we headed out on an errand and I noticed several houses had shrouded shrubs, mostly a white material, but sometimes black. A bit farther along, I noticed another black shroud, but it looked funny, so I looked closer, and discovered it was a covered motorcycle.

I’m enjoying the sky just before the sun rises.

The rising sun appears cheerful and upbeat for this shortest day. I’m anthropomorphizing again.

This evokes winter…with brown dried petals, and green lawn peeking through…so upbeat, despite the hibernal times.

We’ve had lows below freezing recently, and we’re headed for highs in the 70s. Aside from the implications regarding climate change [huuuuge], I’m looking forward to it.

I’m calling this autumn gold. I find it much more approachable than Silver Glow, um?, nope: Cloud Dancer. That’s a shade of white being promoted for 2026, and that’s a purely dopey name.

I was lucky today. We had rain off and on. Without planning, every time I went outside it wasn’t raining.
