Gifts for the squirrels, raccoons and birds! I intend to use the picker for the persimmons that are too high to reach but alas, often I am otherwise engaged and not quick enough. I think he noticed me even though I was on the other side of the room and behind the window. Hard to tell.
I cannot bear to sweep up the fallen persimmon leaves until they are truly faded. Here is the front porch scene. That odd looking upright thing is the inside of a water heater, a heat exchanger, I believe. They come in many different shapes:

Those last 2 photos are in honor of the early morning low fog we've had for the last few mornings, because they represent the color of the world as I step out the front door.
Lately I've been a little obsessed with the here and now and so here is an X to mark the spot. This spot, right here, where we all are.
Love to you all and thank you for stopping by...
