More Foliage

Some happy things:

  • First I must say that I am happy I made it through work last night. I couldn't get to sleep and was tired. At lunch break, I tried to nap for five minutes and that seemed to help.
  • Another happy thing for today is that autumn colors seem to be lasting or at least cycling through nicely even with all the rain we have been getting.

  • My daughter, Keziah, is so talented. She has made a clay piece that she carved a cat into.  Her hope is that she will make it into a small lamp.

First ever INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN PROFESSIONALS DAY

Image
 This year I haven't yet been as good of a steward to the property as last year.  The lawns aren't getting mowed as much, the garden is mostly nonexistent, and I haven't been walking the trails so there really are no trails.  This is me hoping that I will make the time to get outside more to make the yard a place to want to be again.  Here are some happy things from today: I made the trek through the long grass to the wildlife camera.  It had been long enough that I think the SD card was full.  The last clip was from May 20th.  There were only a few that actually had some animals in them and not just the wind blowing.  A few had deer and one a groundhog munching on the grass.  I only briefly went through the clips, it was neat watching as the landscape got more and more green. The multiflora is blooming.  I know that it is supposed to be invasive, but I still think it is pretty. The cow vetch is also blooming.  This nitrogen fixing...

1776

Image
It was AMAZING. Keziah, Bel, and I went to see a production of 1776 at the Loeb Theater. If you read my blog regularly, you may remember that we watch the movie 1776 every Fourth of July.  Keziah, me, and Bel. The curtain. There was a display to learn more about the production. The actors in this production were all women or LGBTQ+. It worked beautifully. There were only a few changes made from what I consider the original. One of those was the addition of part of a letter that Abigail Adams wrote asking that women have the same rights as men. The musical left me overwhelmed with emotions. I wasn't quite sobbing, almost. Other  happy  things from today include: Driving through a Boston suburb and seeing turkeys walking on the sidewalks around store fronts on the way to see  1776 . There is a song in  1776  the movie that asks the question of whether the national bird should be a dove, eagle, or turkey. We sang a few lines. And yes, they included the s...

Walk With a View

Image
 The plan when I left the house was to find somewhere in the city to walk and get some steps in before I went shopping.  The closer I got to the city, the less I wanted to walk through there for a second day in a row.  Instead, I drove beyond the center of Concord, NH to the outskirts and went for a walk in Winant Park.  Pretty much every step of the way I was second guessing my choice.  I was wearing sneakers, not boots or even hiking shoes, just sneakers.  Thankfully, there were enough areas without ice and snow that I was able to get to the overlook and not have to turn around due to slipping.  Here are other happy snippets from my day: Along the trail were what I called little Christmas trees when I was little too.  Some of the names that they are called (according to Lens) are ground pine, princess pine, or rare clubmoss.  Whatever you want to call it, they are a bit of green on a frozen winter day. Princess pine, I like how the snow ha...
