Month: October 2022

I’ve had a busy day, and I’m just taking a minute to sit out here in the sun before I go in to get dinner. I was sitting here and I closed my eyes, and I could hear three main sounds. I could hear a fly buzzing around on the back deck. I can hear […]

It’s another very quiet day down at the river. Except for the birds, they are all singing this morning. I see Edward cruising down the river. There’s a little bit of sunshine but the wind is still cold. I hear baby magpies everywhere.

So we threw our flowers, and watched them stream away in a long line. There was purple, yellow, white, blue and pink flowers all floating away on a blue ocean under a blue sky. I threw my Dutch iris first. It’s always such a beautiful way to remember someone. Now, I’m sitting at the Bench […]

It’s cooled off really, really quickly. I’m shivering out here. I was looking around the yard to see what flowers I had, because tomorrow, we’re going to go remember my father. I want some flowers to throw into the water down at the pier. I think a few of these apple blossoms would be nice. […]

It’s a windy, windy day today. I was sitting on the Bench in the sun when I saw this little blue wren preening in the tree next to me. See if you can spot him in the photo.

It feels quiet down at the river today. There’s only the sound of the water and the birds.

It’s very calm today. There’s no wind. There’s very little swell so the ocean is like a lake. The ocean is all silver, gray and purple and reflecting the sky. I think it’s going to rain soon though it’s very humid and there’s storm clouds on the horizon.

These Dutch irises are absolutely my favorite flower on the planet. I wish my whole yard was filled with them and I would be happy if they flowered the whole year round. But they don’t. They’re only out for such a short period of time. But they are so incredibly, breathtakingly beautiful.

I had a big, busy day today. I don’t even know what I feel as I sit here today. I’m not happy, not sad. It’s just really nice to be sitting somewhere that is quiet and peaceful where I can let it all settle.

It’s misty this morning, but it’s a high mist and I can see the sun trying to shine through. When I got here today, I startled a family of wood ducks. They were just hiding in the bank under the Bench. There was the two parents and ten little fluffy ducklings. You can see them […]
