Musings

One year ago today we enjoyed a sunny northland day. Here, today, it was overcast and nowhere near as nice. No snow, though.

I was inspired by the subtle colors in the sky before the sun eliminated the ambers and oranges.

This afternoon we visited a park south of us (on the edge of metro) we’d never visited. It appears to get heavy use (including by fisherfolk—broken bobbers all along the shore), and almost no maintenance. Typical public funding troubles?

Workmen were noisy right next door, so we went to the park to sit in the sun and enjoy MaNachur…

…and a great blue heron, lots of ducks and geese, and even some turtles.

Why, look! Over that roof…it’s a monadnock. Nope, it’s a pluton! Hah! It’s both.

I got out this morning as rain was predicted for after noon. It actually rolled in after three or so. Still, it was already grey and overcast.

As a bonus (and to be uplifting), here’s a photo from the other day, when the sky was clear and blue, with a jet zooming by.

With such a beautiful sky above, I had to look up, and found my eye drawn to the cones on the outer branches of this towering pine.

The weather was glorious today, so we took stroll-and-sit leisurely walk at Old Fourth Ward park, languidly enjoying the sunshine. This, however, was a look-over-the-railing moment.

I’m calling this The Perch…beloved by the odd squirrel and bird. Not that this squirrel is odd…just squirrelly. Probably Mama Squirrelly.

Local bar hilarity. Also price without tax.

I called this “top down.”

We made a quick trip to the neighborhood hardware store for minor necessities, glad to support the local vs the big-box only a few more blocks away. Over in the paint section, we found Saffron, sleeping the afternoon away as only a happy cat can, despite how many customers were galumphing up and down the aisles (like us 🤣).

And over in the garden area, the indoor section, I found this humidification zone, don’t know how it works, but the steaminess is a nice effect. 😌
