Another sunny warm day -- the best way to begin autumn with warm days and cool nights. Weekend chores began with laundry and bits of cleaning. I ran out to get milk and eggs and came across a friend at the store. We stood and chatted for close to 30 minutes. Lots happening with her for the next few weeks. We even talked about plans for Thanksgiving dinner that will soon be upon us. Later in the afternoon, I went for a walk. During that time, several random thoughts flitted about in my brain.
-- While waiting for a light during my walk this evening, I looked up at the sky to see a jet contrail heading southwest. I smiled but there was also a wistfulness in wishing to fly to visit people and places.
-- On the return journey, the moon was visible and was just past half-moon phase. Having risen early in the sky before sunset, it looked wonderful. I enjoy seeing the moon, and hadn't for a while due to cloudier days of the past many days.
-- Yesterday and today during walks I noticed a hint of orange in some trees and a few larger splashes of orange and red. I enjoy autumn for the colour changes and the cooler nights -- the latter make sleeping easier. It does mean winter is lurking in the distance, but for now it will look spectacular.
A song with wistful lyrics seemed appropriate for the thoughts of the day. This one also has some great lines about the concept of time. Stay safe. Enjoy!
