TWO WORLDS, AND NO ONE KEEPING TAB

This week was a good example of the two worlds between which we commute. Up in Kemble the sunrises are awe-inspiringly different every morning. A lot of pink-and-grey, like a tutone '57 Plymouth Regent or the nickname of some common birds in Australia. Then the sun comes out cold but sharp, stretching tree shadows like a seasonal measuring tape. All beautiful, like the finches lingering at the feeder. There's indoor chores such as sewing or draining the water lines, but sometimes you look out and there's another freighter arriving in the bay...

The city home is just as appealing, but very different. Local Lions Club sells Christmas trees but most of them are small, in pots, for small apartments. Condo construction continues nonstop ---- our local gas station (Shell), burger icon (Lick's) and a century old church (Bellefair United) and more are all becoming multi-condo$$. There's indoor chores such as paint touch-up or  doing the blog. Tonight we have overnight guests, so the spare mattress has to drop over the rail!

P.S. The Samsung Tablet  didn't work out and has been returned. It's great for viewing and gaming, but too awkward for our interactive blog or other inputting. The trusty netbook will be on the road with us once more this travel season...
