Day 203

July 22, 2021

Young bunny sat with me early this morning

I feel like crying tonight.  Not clear why, something about spending time with loved ones, but something about feeling vulnerable, too.  I feel vulnerable.  

There were very few heron in sight today.  I won't have my car back until Tuesday, but my niece, Grace, and her partner, Jake came to visit me today so I took them up to see the rookery.  I was noontime and maybe 78 and gorgeous.  The birds still there were taking naps and only one showed himself.  

I brought them to Lava to show them the space.  It felt good to share that work with Grace who teaches I believe like me.  She understood what we are doing with ECHO.

Jake played the piano there and I was happy to see it was really usable.  They are going to come on Saturday and do the music for the salon.  

It just felt normal to me to be with them like I've known Jake for many years even though we met today.  

They climbed Poet Seat.  I read the plaque for probably the hundredth  time but since I've been doing ECHO plaque's have a new meaning.   This is real Greenfield history.  I'm going to find some of his poetry to read.  

So it was kind of a perfect summer's day.  Temperature stayed around 83 and it was dryer and on top of the hill there was a sweet breeze.   

There are now signs of a storm, although I don't know if it really will amount to anything.  I think a new weather pattern has settled in.
