More Walking in the Sunshine

I can't even tell you how long I just stood staring at this branch of maple leaves and the blue sky behind it.

And then there was the bark on this locust tree that captivated my attention.

I take a lot of random pictures by accident.

I often see these little library boxes, but I was of course delighted to see this one dedicated to poetry.

Residential streets were lined with these signs.

Remember when cars mostly looked like this?



I took a picture of this hedge because it was such a mish mash of trees and shrubs and vines but someone obviously spent time to  keep it clipped and trimmed.


Ducked down an alley way

I love doorways and windows.


The alley way brought me to the river that flows behind the town's main street.

A foot bridge crosses the river.


Where the Wild Things Are was reproduced in signs along the path.


And the path  lead to the Marble Works,

once actual marble works but now small shops.

An entire yard full of hydrangea at the museum.


On the way home later that evening the sunset was breathtaking but by the time I found a place to pullover the sun was already sinking fast.


But I saw this barn and silo.


Gotta be grateful for days filled with beautiful.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
