So Wednesday began with a small walk, then
the abandonment of the pack as we were soon off to the ‘burg, everyone friendly as usual
at the dump though Safeway’s patrons seemed uncommonly pinched and mean. Perhaps they were Trumplicans, resentful the staff remained masked, though they could have just as easily been paranoid small town opioidists…or Texas Tourists, come to think of it.
We collected our groceries, checked on the ‘bib and started for home behind a typical summer visitor. Like they say, if you ain’t the lead horse…the view’s always the same.
By lunchtime it darkened and afternoon again brought us
steady rain followed by morning sun, subsequently more afternoon rains which
sometimes cleared enough for outdoor dining but sometimes, though the smoke
somewhat cleared, didn’t and we’d dine in, dinner with company not once but twice in the course of the week leaving a grand total of three days free two of which were, for me, somewhat diminished due to too much fun entertaining, or trying to be entertaining…
The scenery remained ever entertaining of course,
to dogs’ delight, but soon enough
– five whole days in one place! – it was time for another, bigger trip to town.
More on that disruption subsequently…
I liked the stick & shadow as a charmed cobra snake!
And, the rosé-refraction through the wine glass stem!
Quoting Kirk: “You have to look everywhere” [ to see these things ] !
As the far west relentlessly burns, I remain completely jealous of your afternoon showers and greenery. Sorry about the smoke, though…. is that drifting in from the far west or are there Colorado wildfires as well?
What Kirk said.
Looks gorgeous….BC just declared a state of emergency with about 300 fires lighting us all up. yikes. so far none too close to us…
…and I hope none come close. The air must be awful, though.
Given the fires, the floods, the earthquakes and a pandemic, I’d say the “end-of-days” groups must be in their own kind of seventh heaven.
If one squinted and looked at that wooden sculpture, it turned into an African mask.
