The temperature finally broke and brought a solid inch and a half of rain with cooler temperatures. (I had to put a light blanket on the bed tonight – yeah!)
I had thought about going to the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown today for their big re-opening but luckily looked one more time at their web site before heading out and found they didn’t open the galleries today until one, which conflicted with meeting Hugh and Naomi for coffee. So I sent them membership money instead which means I can coax myself to go more often, at least that’s my plan!
Then I had a nice visit with Naomi and Hugh and was amazed to find that it wasn’t raining at all in Albany. When I got back the road in front of my house was still quite wet, but it wasn’t currently raining.
Did a little beading and watched the Macy’s fireworks after listening to the new John Williams arrangement of the national anthem.
Wrote a haiku riff on an expression that Naomi uses “only for you, birds!” and she gave it a title:
Birder’s haiku
only for you birds
my alarm’s set dark o’clock
hope you will be there
Almost forgot the quote:
For man to be able to live he must either not see the infinite, or have such an explanation of the meaning of life as will connect the finite with the infinite. — Leo Tolstoy
