Noticing

/362 - Thanksgiving

Some moody pictures taken today which don’t at all reflect how I feel about today.

Spent a nice day with Ash and Emi. Watched movies, played a little music, video-chatted with friends. Took a walk at Mendon Ponds in the gray misty rain. Heard a strange thumping and looked up to see a pileated woodpecker. Unfortunately not close enough for a pic, but I had the binoculars so we all got to take a close peak. We had one in our yard for a split second once, so it was really cool to see another. Further along, there’s an area of the trail known for the birds coming to eat from your hand. I’ve been here with the ladies before and never put my hand out, but today I did. So amazing and wonderful to have these tiny creature land on a finger, cock their head and look at you. Ash said she heard me giggle. haha Come back, made a great dinner, watched Charlie Brown and at 2 kinds of pie. Not too shabby for a day.

It was weird and wanting not being able to be with the rest of our families today, knowing that feeling was being shared all around us. Still — very thankful for our health, our friend’s/family’s health and prosperity. Hope we can all be back together soon.
