Today is Friday the 13th. Bad luck. But is it? Consider this: In 1896, on the 13th of October, the first public screening of a motion picture occurred in New Zealand. That’s big, good stuff.
Across
the valley from me, amid the shunking of nail guns, new homes are framed
in the broad open fields of my youth. New, yet nameless roads connect into
grids conceived in faraway places.
In
bug news: the last grasshoppers of the season have finally stumbled off into
silence, making way for the emergence of slow and clunky conifer seed bugs,
often called stink bugs.
Here
at the house, we have tamped the last iris into the earth and clipped the last
juniper Desiree wishes to “shape” to her pleasure.
End
of morning report.
