We’re both feeling kind of worn out so I decided to watch a TV show or movies. I don’t usually watch TV… So we’ve been scanning trying to find something to watch. We ended up finding a video about Drive in intermission ads. We’ve been watching it for about a half an hour… It’s crazy
Just add to the excitement… One of our neighbors is firing fireworks somewhere behind our house.… ‘Diane remembered that we had the WebCam on the house so I was able to catch a few of the pictures with the fireworks in the distance.…
That’s what passes for excitement on a Saturday night… These crazy in-crazy days
Just walked inside from a wonderful showing of “the Princess bride” in our backyard. Been a long hard week… Nothing better than watching one of my favorite movies with a few neighbors.… If you haven’t seen the movie… Stop right this moment and go watch it. It’s all about true love… With a little bit of pirates, villainy, magic, swashbuckling…
Even mawwiage
All thrown in.
It still looks tame compared to real life right now… But what an escape
We’re getting prepared for a Sunday science moment with our friends Lucie and victor. Diane harvested some Queen Anne’s lace that she found in the field and did our annual coloration experiment. It’s really simple. He put the cut flowers in colored water and they take the color out. So simple and so cool
What else to report from the day?… Oh… I reconnected with my good friend Dave that I hadn’t talked to in a long time. His wonderful wife Jean had passed away from cancer about three years ago… I knew that was coming but I hadn’t heard. It was important to touch base with him. He’s moved to Washington and is now spending his time and venting. He sounded good. Felt really good to reconnect.
The other big news is that the town installed the road cut to allow people to park in the Bombardier field across from us. It’s hard to believe that I’m in favor of this. But the alternative Was having 25 or so cars parked along the road right in front of our house… It was crazy dangerous and really destroyed the peace of our neighborhood. We’re hoping that the ability to park on the field itself will be safer and more peaceful. My thanks to the Richmond Land Trust Chair and the town for coming up with this cool compromise
I woke today and read my daily word for a day. Today’s day was “ruminating”. When I went downstairs Dianne told me that she had had a restless night sleep with some town land-use questions turning around in her head. I told her she had been “ruminating”… Then I looked up ruminating… I knew that it had to do with. An idea that you were thinking on constantly as well as a cow that was chewing his coat. What I also found out… Is that ruminants like cows and horses have four separate stomachs that are used to help digest their cud. That’s in contrast to camel aids like camels and dromedaries which only have three.… That led me to wonder all day weather we have four layers of our mind… Or ideas go back-and-forth as they are “digested”… I guess I’ve been ruminating on that.
We ended our ruminations today with another walk up Bolton mountain… We’re getting faster each time. It was a beautiful evening with temperatures just about 60.
