Broken Records
Joseph’s coat Saturday evening
Hot time
in the old town this weekend. More high temperature records were broken
here in Redding, as well as other northern California towns. I don’t
think Redding, Red Bluff, or Chico qualify as cities. Sacramento? Maybe.
Joseph’s coat today, after watering last night
San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia. Those are cities to my way of thinking.
Bigger blueberries
I got a container
of ‘bigger’ blueberries at Trader Joe’s yesterday, just for the fun of
it. They don’t have a lot of flavor, but that is usually the case with
oversized fruit. I think it’s fun to use them with the ‘smaller’
strawberries that I got earlier in the week at Raley’s.
Agapanthus beginning to flower
The roofers
have been limited to working early in the mornings, before the
temperature on the roof becomes hazardous to their health. I have
learned to squish my ears between the pillows to manage a semblance of
sleep, drifting to and from dreamland, relative to the decibel level of
activity overhead. It’s not as difficult as one might imagine.
Guilded with shades of crimson and violet
Every day
here at the Treehouse, brings a new look to the flowers, trees,
mountains, and grasses. I am happy to have the time, and interest, for
observing and photographing the activity in the world around me.
Throughout my life I have taken pictures, including a few stints as a
professional photographer, but I don’t recall experiencing the level of
interest and joy that I have now.
Artistically edged mature roses
The equipment
is a lot more magical and fun these days. I don’t really miss loading
film and mixing chemicals for each step of the process, and modern
cameras are a pleasurable experience to operate.
Stages of development
I am hoping
that the next time people are working up on the roof it will be because
they are installing solar panels so we can enjoy our air conditioning
without burning coal, oil, or natural gas to provide our electricity.
