103 Million Kilometers Is Really Far.

Sitting in traffic caused not just by construction but a vehicle accident, too, TF and I are convinced that the universe doesn't want us to see the Neowise comet.   Every distant street lamp could be the comet, but none are.  We arrived at our destination just as the comet should be setting, we did not see it.  It has been quite the journey.   Our destination now is a grocery store for ice cream to freeze away our disappointment.  Of course we can't be certain that we would have seen Neowise had there not been an accident, but who knows?

We started making masks today.  Mine has llamas.  I plan to finish it in the morning.  I still don't know when we are leaving.   I'm planning for tomorrow or Friday,  but it could be another week.  There is an anticipation that I get before a road trip that I can't seem to shake.  The adventures TF and I are having to find the comet are a glorious release for some of that energy.   

K sent me pictures of green beans that are ready to pick from our garden today.  There are also spaghetti squash and tomatoes that are growing.  Most likely they won't be ripe before I get back.  My happy things for today:

• Seeing some of the food we are growing.
• Laughing with TF while chasing a comet.
• Mask making-because it gets my creative mind going.
• Ben and Jerry's Salted Caramel Core ice cream.

There is a bird in the planter on the right.

It was a very angry bird.

Until it landed in the plant on the left.  
Then, I believe, the little bird found food.
