Busy time

It’s a busy time. Faye works ten hours daily during the tomato processing season and is in week 3. We see each other for about 90 minutes a day during the week, not much more during the weekends. My time is full with chores, walking dogs, running errands, and work.

I’m not complaining. This is life and complaining will not change that fact. I prefer to accept what is (not that I have to like what is), knowing that it will get better soon. I’ll be able to spend more time with and more deeply appreciate my life and my best friend, companion, partner, wife.

Conjunction

The waning crescent Moon and Venus were close partners yesterday morning, leading the way for the Sun.  I was compelled to stop, photograph, admire, and give thanks. It’s good to stop, look, appreciate our surroundings give thanks for our many blessings.

Vertical

Looking straight up from my customary seat on the deck. Some sky, some tree, all beautiful and appreciated.

Grace and blessing

Coneflowers grace and bless our front yard.

Skyscape

Quite a thunderstorm rolled over last night. The sky was very active; there was a lot of lightning and wind. The air aloft was very dynamic and I was compelled to try to capture some of the dynamism. What a marvellous reminder that in the face of nature, god, what have you, we are puny and insignificant.

Feather

This feathery cirrus led my eye from almost directly above me, all the way across the sky to the western horizon. What a glorious work of art.

Art . . .

. . . masquerading as a cutting board. A very talented fellow crafted this beautiful piece out of walnut, cherry, and maple, which Faye and I are now fortunate to own. It is almost too beautiful to put to its intended use.

A different perspective

Normally we look out, down at an angle, up at an angle. Here is the view straight up from our deck. We can benefit from viewing our surroundings from a different perspective.
