Good evening friends! Clearer and drier, and 18°c feels less close and clammy than it did yesterday. The memory of recent rain lies heavy on the cool dewy stems of the long grass, bu seedheads are dry and gleaming silvery whenever the clouds part, loud with a tinny clockwork thrum of grasshoppers. Overnight the haws have already begun to swell and darken to a dusty russet red, and a few orange jellybean berries plump up on the matrimony vines.

Relieved to feel refreshed after resting so much yesterday, and finally starting to feel a sense of possible momentum again. I even managed to get through a full workout today, the first time I’ve been able to since I moved.

May we find progress and growing understanding in our lives today!
