W^2 or W squared for Wordless Wednesday, July 27, 2022
I was torn for this post. I haven’t taken many photos over the past week. It rained quite a lot this weekend at home, almost three inches over two days: an early Saturday morning thunderstorm and gentler rain overnight Saturday into Sunday morning. The vegetation is thriving at home.
I arrived yesterday afternoon at the lake, for the annual family gathering for the canoe race. It’s a family tradition when we gather to watch the canoe teams begin paddling the AuSable River overnight eastward toward Lake Huron. But this morning, we had gentle rain to moisten the lawn, the forest, the front window. Today there only three of us – me, my wife, and our daughter. Our son and his wife will be joining us late Thursday night and our weekend party will be complete, including four dogs.
In the meantime, there are prospects for an improvement in the day’s weather as the storm passes through. The forecast for the weekend is warm sunny days.
As I mentioned I was torn between two photos: the one above and the one below. The Echinacea hybrid was taken at Ball Horticultural Company’s demonstration garden not far from our home.
Today is going to be a great day. So, I’d better jump up, jump in, and seize the day. Making the days Count one day at a time, trying to choose between the present and the past.
Which do you prefer? the present or the past?
Both your photos tell a story. I’m glad you included both.
Thank you, I was hoping that the horticulture company would gift some plants to our school’s outdoor classroom. However, we’ll need to be creative as we move forward. Today is sunny by the lake and it is going to be an amazing day! It’s race day.
Race day. Race day? Have fun anyway!
Each one of them only gets a life with the tale you tell…. so from my heart I have the flowers but I also liked the rainy day shot because of your story.
Kiki – great to see you. The coneflowers mean summer to me, but a summer rain is always welcome, too. hope you are staying well and enjoying summer. Peace.
