"Another Day in the Life"

Went out today to sit in the sun, and do a little shopping. Light bulbs trash bags body wash veggies. The main food groups. It was very nice out. The sun was good nice breeze beautiful sky.

It was like early October used to be.

Now it's like that in early November. Climate change has pushed things a month out of kilter. Spring as an actual season has vanished soon the same for fall. They'll just be a damp mild winter followed by a very long hot humid summer...this is the new normal.

Sorry that end of the world stuff is just on my mind of late. All of our problems wars persecutions bad TV is nothing. The slow motion changes to the climate is...well it's our Doom. We could survive in it sure, but we're too stupid to adapt.

Sorry,...where was I?

Beautiful day. I saw a vendor selling the last peaches of the season. He was playing Reggae Christmas carols.  It was 72F degrees. We had a peach tree in our back yard. My dad would make peach pies for the whole block. Everyone looked forward to these all year.

It was a wonderful thing.

So many little gems in our lives. This is how we make it. Those times those moments is what gives us the juice to brave any storm. Our special times our quilt of bright moments.

I saw some kids getting out of school. They were singing screaming yelling. One little girl had a brace of Mylar sliver balloons. One got loose, and all the kids around her stood still, and watched as this silver messenger rose to the stratosphere.

In fact it does gain that altitude.

As it goes higher past that it implodes. It's shreds falling back to Earth. In the case of the girl's balloon likely it'll come to rest in the ocean. If it had eyes to see, and words to speak what would it say about it's life, and it's ascending to the heavens.

Also I had a nice chat with the young woman at the counter at the items store. She was new to the States. Just up from Haiti. She said she was looking forward to seeing real snow.

Well for the sake of her wonder I hope our warm winter will give her at least a glimpse,...at the very least a flurry with snow that will stick for a few hours.

That's my Hope.
