Just before I snapped this photo, a whole bridal party emerged from the archway after evidently posing for pictures in the rain. It's a popular park for that, though I would have advised planning for rain for any outdoor stuff here in the Pacific Northwest.
"specialmagic", MIDI song I made today using my best friend @imrlyrobyn 's E-Mu Sound Engine, an obscure General MIDI sound module from the early 90s, made with Rosegarden MIDI sequencer for linux #midi#music#original#retro#rosegarden#special
Over in my local public rose garden, there's not a lot of roses yet but the vines are showing a lot of heart.💖🌺 (Peculiar white smudges on the images courtesy of my windshield.)
LOL I have so many at-home things on my to-do list, but today somehow nothing seemed so important as getting out and wandering about. I'm wary of going too far afield with the way the van has been behaving recently, but I can still make a decent mini-jaunt out of local parks and such.
Out and about just to get some outdoor nature vibe on a misty moisty morning. Today's big contemplation: trying to not let my hopes run wild, but I might have made the cut for some affordable housing. Won't know for sure until December, so now to wait, gently start planning, and strategically distract myself from obsessing over the matter. Waiting is hard. 😅
Out of the lair for errands and sunshine. The plantings at my current favorite accessible park hang are, well, hanging in there too, but they've taken a beating from recent rains, and the hard frost predicted for the weekend will no doubt knock them down the rest of the way.
And now doing post-medical appointment decompression at my current favorite accessible park hang. The fog is mostly burned off at this point but still present enough to give some nice seasonal vibe.
Out and about to my current favorite accessible park hang, to grab some fresh air and sunshine before the next bunch of rain blows in. Said sunshine has that almost preternatural brightness I've noticed before in advance of a front moving in. I love watching weather (as long as I'm not stuck in it! 🤣 )
Up and absorbing some much-needed caffeine and nature-vibe before tackling a couple of errands, including the ever-charming Fetching Prescription From Germy Pharmacy scenario 🙄
Once again a fasting medical appointment launched me out of my lair at an unconscionable hour, so I have once again taken refuge in a local park to absorb my delayed breakfast. (I am so not a morning person, but it's worth it not to have a whole waiting room full of unmasked people breathing on me 🤣)
