I’m kind of freaking out inside, concerned about what dumbass Trump may do to Iran tonight. Enjoy Gizmo being comfortable this morning, he helps me to smile.

The beaver (Beavis?) that moved into our pond last fall has reappeared now that the ice has melted.

A large sinkhole has opened up on the road next to our pond. There’s a drainage pipe to prevent pond flooding, but last year a beaver moved in and he’s plugged the pipe. Apparently the water is finding another path and it’s destroying the road.

It’s important to find beauty on my morning walks with DixieDog. We had a damp morning in Maine today. #lichen
With a backdrop of the ground covered in brown leaves is a stick adorned with a very pale green leafy- looking lichen. Lying on a bed of brown pine needles is a stick covered with lichens. Some of the lichen reminds me of a delicate coral growth, with many fine “fingers” spreading out from central spines.

Orange, red, and yellow fall colored trees, almost glowing with the sunlight on them. Standing talk begging them are evergreen pines. Glowing in a bright arc above all the trees is a beautiful rainbow.

Looking out at the horizon from a wooden deck with white railing spindles. The trees in the foreground are crisp and green, the trees and hills far off cannot be seen at all due to early morning fog. The sky is a light shade of blue.
