10/8: aster action
The asters are blooming, and I spent some time early this afternoon watching them as they seemed to flicker with all the insects flying around them.
10/7: words, words, words (and some images)
It's Monday, so that means a paper is due tomorrow evening. For this week's essay I enjoyed analyzing three gender-altered fairytales (Kate and the Beanstalk, The Brave Little Seamstress, and Sleeping Bobby) written by Mary Pope Osborne and illustrated by Giselle Potter. I am grateful to local public libraries for making this possible: the library in Conway had two of these books, and the teeny tiny branch library in Greenbrier had the third. I would have been at an impasse without them!
10/6: a little mission
Chris does genealogical research, and he belongs to a site where people post requests for photographs of the gravestones of people they're tracing. This morning we went to a small cemetery nearby and were able to fulfill two requests.
10/3: bird business
I bought a second bird bath this summer, but the birds seemed to scorn it. Finally they're warming up to it, and it's fun to see them queue up to take a dip.
10/2: clearer
It was humid when I went on errands this afternoon, but by early evening cooler air had moved in and everything felt less close, both outside and inside my head. It seemed like it could rain so I didn't kayak. Still, I walked down to the dock for sunset.
10/1: deer
Since my work is done at home this year I see our house and our yard more than I usually do. Today I got to watch the deer wandering underneath the persimmon trees, grazing.
