Took two long walks with friends yesterday when we had a morning and afternoon not only without wind and rain but with heartening clear blue skies with wispy white clouds and sunshine. On the first walk, my friend said, "Look," and pointed up at an owl with its eyes closed. As we looked up at the owl, it opened its eyes and looked directly at us.
It's dark and cloudy today and yet hummingbirds and Steller's Jays brighten up my porch.
Was able to set aside the time to listen to this.
Feeling melancholy and at the same time grateful on this quiet day.
