Chillin' Out

Looking at the hood of the car this morning it looks as if a single giant hand closed it in the early hours.  Of course we all know how silly a thought that is, there are no giant alien hands here closing hoods.  It was probably the foot of a pterodactyl that lit on the black car in the dark.

Some remnants of summer weather remain, the lad's flip flop left next to the hammock frame.  Let's try not to drift into the territory of 'why' it is there but rather focus on the beauty of nature and the story that is told by a ice speckled flip flop.  Still stuck on why?  Let me misdirect you with the Smashing Pumpkins' Here is No Why.

Infinity style shot down the frozen deck rail captures the now empty hammock frame and the deck that will be used mostly by critters for a while.  Maybe I will start a new cold weather tradition with the brataci whre we go dress up warmly and have a big cup of coffee out there on cold clear starlit nights.

Another remminent of summer, or is it?  The garden shovel as we call it has a full agenda today.  It looks so peaceful resting there but it knows somwthing is up since I started checking the oil and rattling the grease gun at it.  The coffee is ready, so I hope the shovel is too.  Time do do some more gardening.  Today's project is the planted areas on either side of the driveway, just short of a quarter mile worth digging both sides.
