Actual quote from my vampire husband: “The sun is out–Aagh!” Separately: It seems I have a two-headed tulip in my garden (which also looks a bit vampiric).

Today I have done something almost unprecedented! I bought flowers for my garden and planted them all in one day! Happy gardening!
It’s the season of gamboling baby cows! A smile on my way to work in the morning. And would I be frowning if they were gambling instead? Obviously, that would depend on how they pulled it off. Card-playing cows are difficult to frown at.
They painted the plane orange! and then very green and gooey, like something out of Ghost Busters. Then the landing gear proceeded to cackle menacingly as we took off. (My daughter says the plane is now French.)
Why did the Denver Airport train announcement just pop into my head and start repeating on loop? It’s not supposed to be an earworm.
Sometimes ice canyons on the side of the street are kinda cool looking. But, I have to say, they’re super extra cool looking when you’ve had a healthy dose of geology and/or planetary-science classes, and so are imagining you’re staring down at something like a diorama of another planet. (Go planetary science!)
You know you’re definitely not a kid anymore when you get home and can’t wait to open up the fridge for those left-over greenbeans calling to you.
There was a squirrel in my parking spot when I got in this morning. Somehow he looked guilty as he looked up and slunk/scurried away. What could he have been up to? Meanwhile, the hordes of geese managed to be picturesque this afternoon – flying through a lowering, twilit snowfall will do that it seems.
I walk south through the parking lot at the end of the day, and this week the twilight-silhouetted mountains and the crescent moon have been keeping me company.
I have a purple rose from my garden blooming on Halloween! How cool is that? Also, there was frost and real, spooky fog this morning – so perfect!
