-: Shots and thoughts - Tuesday evening

Random thoughts and shots from a Tuesday evening stroll:

Yesterday would have been my parents 58^th wedding anniversary
It was a month ago today that I saw my father alive for the last time. I will never forget his face, overcome with joy when I said, “I’ll be back in about six weeks,” and I patted his shoulder. I’ll never know if it was because he knew I was coming back or that I was there then or both.
I am seriously reconsidering my opinion of the red kitchen. It’s not that I dislike it individually but the idea of having two small red rooms side by side. Maybe I am being lazy or embracing the idea of it being one big red room. At a time of transition I often repaint or re-upholster.
Katie Couric's debut on the CBS Evening News this afternoon wasn't as bad as I'd expected.
This was one of my most productive work days in months.
There is something about the first work day after Labor Day that always yields positive results, perhaps because I love knowing that summer is over and people are returning to their routines. I like the arrival of spring but love the arrival of autumn.
There is something about the Bryant-Mariposa bus barn that always reminds me of the opening scene from A Streetcar Named Desire.
Am I wrong, or is it a full moon tonight?
