Remembering Last Wednesday

 

If that tabletop in the foreground didn't look so lopsided this could have been a header photo. Oh well...

I don't think including the graffiti and the bench inside the gazebo helps though.


The very last of the pretty red leaves. And we enjoy all these mild sunny days, but for how long? Fires have been starting out in the woods all over North Carolina. We desperately need rain.

Had to get a close up


At first I thought the grass had just been cut, but maybe several days ago. Not at all the season for pollen here!

I went to a meeting with a student from Warren Wilson College, writing a paper about Climate Change actions in this area. 
Suzanne and I spoke about the Climate Conversation group.


It was great to learn about young people who are interested in Climate Change...and all the options that are available to work for change.

These weren't the men putting up the Holiday decorations along the main streets...they were "real electricians working on the lines."


Today's quote:

Facing the truth upfront rather than turning from it will keep your life moving in a forward and positive direction.

    1. Same here. Nothing is blooming yet. Must be grass clippings.

  3. I like the first photo just the way it looks. Most people won't even notice or care about the lopsided table. I love the cat sitting on the post. Caption: Listen up, as I told you earlier, we are going to need some yarn for the coming winter. Now go on you way and start growing it. :)

  6. Beautiful composition.

    Cat to alpacas: no, look, the humans figured this out long ago. We, the cats, are the highest life form on the planet.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
