Instead of domestic work which needs doing, I'm starting this post.
I need to take the rest of the plants out to the porch soon, but am going to wait a week or so, to make sure no more frosts are coming! The pansies kind of wilted, but Mellie Mac said just cut off the bad blooms and yellow leaves, and water water water them!
Where would you like to go with me this morning? How about Moab UT? We drove through on our way to Arches National Park, and then stopped to shop a bit on our way back. Oh, and had a lovely Thai dinner at one of my son's and wife's favorite restaurants.
Early in the day there wasn't too much traffic.
After an extensive car tour of the Arches Natl. Park, and a side trip along the Colorado River, we returned to Moab.
A place to NOT stop!
By the afternoon the traffic was higher. This is a popular "side by side" vehicle used in off-road travel. But there were also at least a few hundred jeeps with variations of wheel sizes (sorry no pics of them!)
We did enjoy looking around a co-op gallery of Moab artists. The other shop we stopped for a while was the Back of Beyond Bookstore, which had a bit of UFO tinge to it. The clerk at the counter was a North Carolinian too (like me). We didn't mention aliens!
But neither did I go to the far back or the store!
My Massaman Curry was delicious, and of course was good as left overs the next day!
Today's quote:
Reality lives somewhere between matter and meaning. One makes us, the other we make to bear our mortality and the confusions of being alive. Meaning arises from what we believe to be true, reality is the truth that endures whether or not we believe in it. Maria Popova in The Marginalian
