October is here!

 


Rabbit rabbit!


I was sitting at my desk at 11:02 am yesterday when I heard a sound that's been missing over a year. A train whistle at the nearby crossing of Blue Ridge Rd. Oh that will be such a nice thing to return to. But the tracks that were damaged going east over the Old Fort pass and continental divide will take a bit longer to repair, I imagine.

    I have come to believe exactly what Thich Nhat Hanh said about god.

      Isn't that sculpture beautiful and strange? Yes to the colors of Autumn!

      We do have a couple of warehouses/industries that have sidings for train goods to come or go from...but I think at least the big grocery warehouse is entirely dependent on trucking now.

    White rabbits! Have a lovely October and stay well. Train whistles are oddly poignant, even when around here they just mean work on the track.

      And that's probably who was tooting on the tracks here too.

    The October colours are the most beautiful. We don't even come close to that. :( Have a wonderful month of October.

      I'll be out looking to see what the colors look like next week definitely, since most of these were from years gone by.

    A thoughtful post today. I enjoyed seeing the work of Orlando Basturo. Something I'm not familiar with.

      Those sculptures caught my eye, and I kind of liked them, in their quirky way.
