August Ughh. The August equivalent of June Gloom. It surely stays dark resulting from the intense overcast in the morning. It usually clears up in the afternoon. It could be worse. We could be in South Dakota!
On my walk this morning I was accompanied for a short distance by a friendly squirrel. He stayed ahead of me running from tree to tree as I dutifully followed. Then after twenty or thirty yards he disappeared up a tree and was gone. Like old friends, they are never gone. Just hiding up a tree somewhere.
The cheery reminder of the day is that of the blossom from a street tree. I think it's a magnolia. That flower is about 6 inches across, very dramatic. With touches of magenta around the edges.
Dramatic flowers are proof that we're all on this flight together.
