what is Here

20240929_101327

Friday.   Had to be at Alyssia's  driveway in town at the ungodly hour of 7:40  am.    so i could follow her to Emrie's school  for the morning Assembly when Emrie would be receiving Student of the Month Award.    As i closed the Big Gate,    there…..MANY blooms of Madia.       BLOOMS.     Any time before that in the last month or so,  if i had been asked,  i would have said….NO,  they are finished now.   Because when i leave here around 11  am,   all the blossoms are closed and bent and tight into themselves

but this morning

they were     OPEN.   Faces UP to the Sun that was rising…..not in profusion as in the Spring,   but enough…Many…..Facing  up and out and BeautyFull.   and i thought to take a pic  but was worried about time so decided to do that when i got back

and then      i got back      and  it was a whole different Picture….no blooms….all pinched close and looking dried

and this.

this is what i love knowing now,  in these days,   how  there's so much i don't really know that i think i know,   that i don't know.

    Imagine the scope of it all.
    We are so small.

    With every day that passes, the reality of my world is expanding. I realize what a tight little controlled box has contained me. The view from 76 years just keeps expanding and I am so amazed, delighted and grateful. I so appreciate your validating stories.

    So much we don’t know. So much we don’t see. When my routine is shifted from the usual this sometimes happens to me. The flowers that open early or late, the creatures that are active at different times of day. Yesterday I happened to look out the window just in time to see a pileated woodpecker, so close to the house. Another day a groundhog with it’s front paws on one of the deck steps just before it turned and scrambled under the deck. I could so easily have missed these and how often do I miss something… I love your drawing. And that you counted the blooms. It reminds me of sketches we used to have to do in biology class with labeled features.
