🔊 Sitting in the dark, baby sitting the grandkids, while music from the party that their parents are at, booms loudly from across the road.
With Day Light Savings Time starting across the northern hemisphere over the next two weeks, Hawaii, which does not observe the clock change, will become an hour further behind those Northern Hemisphere countries, and US states, that do. At the same time it will creep an hour closer to those countries in the Southern Hemisphere as they move into autumn.
🌞 I said it yesterday, but the warm sun feels so good. I think that it is the contrast after weeks of wind and rain.

Day 11: Gimcrack, suggested by @Josh
I had not heard of a gimcrack before today’s challenge. After looking up the word, I settled on this little farmyard in a corner of our kitchen.
I’m reconsidering my digital password storage options. About a year ago I moved away from 1Password, a piece of software that I have used since it first appeared. Did I need it? I’m now thinking to move back. I just know it. The re-setting up feels a little daunting.
☀️ The warmth of the sun feels just so good today.

Day 10: Ritual, suggested by @drewbelf
A daily ritual of meditation.
🌊 Returning home last night it was still and dark, and yet I could hear the waves crashing against the cliffs over a mile away.

The mystery of jigsaw puzzles. I have a group of pieces that I stare at for days, convinced that I still have to find one or two pieces that will bring them all together. Then one day I sit down and, click, click, click, they all come together. No other pieces needed. 🧩🤷🏼♂️

Day 8: Walk, suggested by @lwdupon
A photo of a projected slide from my time in India in 1989. I’m unsure where I took this, but I think that it was in Bihar State.
Your windy morning, double rainbow 🌈
A Kona, westly, storm is battering Maui right now. Sheets of rain being blown by winds I would say gusting into the 40’s mph, at least into the 30’s (he says after consulting multiple weather sources).
Of all the movies that I thought that I would watch again, This Is Where I Leave You was not one of them.
Looking for something easy going, we chose this movie, thinking that maybe it looked familiar? Indeed it was. Early on it was apparent that this was not a first viewing, but we still watched it through to the end.
It served its purpose. Easy to watch at the end of a tiring day, a simple if predictable story, and funny. 🍿

Day : Whole, suggested by @val
I’m always grateful for the whole bean coffee that I buy from Sterling Coffee Roasters in Portland. I’ve made sure to write to them to let them know. Here is their always available, general blend - Blendo Stupendo.
I find that it is easy to take for granted the many conveniences that we have these days, until we don’t have them. The power went out this morning around 7:00am and didn’t come back on again until 3:00pm. I’ve no idea why. Pretty much everything went down with it, including our ability to make calls as the cell signal is already weak and we rely on WiFi calling.
Gratitude for all that we have, and those who keep the services running.
