10/26: 3 cats near me

As I worked this morning, Phineas curled up in a cat-bed on the side-table next to my chair, Tilde slept in the cat-bed on the floor near my chair, and Simon sat on the chair facing mine.  I don't know if they were missing Emma too, but I was grateful for their collective company since Emma usually perched alongside me as I did my morning work, and I was feeling his absence.

10/25: making the time

...to take a walk in the autumn air and morning light.

10/24: a good sight

While Emma the Cat was having a hard morning, Phineas the Cat crawled into the cat bed with him and put his arm around him.

10/23: an appointment

...that was scheduled for half an hour earlier than I had thought.  It's a good thing I looked carefully at my calendar!  And the earlier time meant I got home to my wonderful family sooner.

10/22: I've been experimenting

...with taking iPhone pictures with a low shutter speed.  I've really liked some of the results.  But it's unpredictable--which can be alternately and simultaneously exciting (surprises!), low stress (it's out of my hands!), and vexing (it's not reliably repeatable!).  I guess that mixture is a good life lesson.

10/21: reading

...Yoko Ono's Grapefruit gradually.

10/20: beginning

...the uncial calligraphy project in the Vulgate class.  It gives me a chance to do some uncial lettering too.

10/19: autumn weather

...at last.  Cool air in the morning that didn't entirely disappear all day.  Sunlight aslant.  Blue sky.  Some yellow and amber leaves.  A combination of clarity and glow.
