I rounded a corner on a blue sky day and the remaining leaves looked like stars twinkling.

My Trees

When I moved here twenty years ago there were no trees in the garden. On a lovely warm autumn afternoon, I was hanging out on my patio admiring the trees I had planted as saplings.

Somehow Symbolic

While admiring a colorful tree yesterday, a beautiful blue sky autumn day, I found a paper wasp nest. A marvel of insect engineering, but I wouldn’t want to get too close. I googled paper wasp symbolism and there were a lot possibilities, so I don’t have a clue – do you?

Play on Election Day

The windows in Boston are boarded up & the National Guard has been deployed. Last week I heard on a podcast the importance of play when stressed. Their definition of play was 1) Time spent without purpose 2) Activities where you lose track of time and 3) When you are free to be yourself without inhibition. So somehow between work, construction, and election stress, I’m going to try to incorporate play. I hope you are able to do the same with or without an election.

Autumn Winter

The snow should melt by this afternoon, but I thought this scene from this morning managed to convey the seasonal confusion.
