Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Another beautiful fall day. I went for a walk this morning with my friend and she stopped to take photos with her phone of a beautiful camilia bush and a blue hydrangea. Since her sister lives in upper New York state, it seems a bit cruel, but oh well. The plants here are confused every year but especially this year, as we've had no rain and the last two day have a high of 70. When we watched Interstellar a couple of nights ago, the earth was becoming a dust bowl and the only hope was to colonize another planet. There are fearful intimations of that for our state. Water is everything. On a more cheerful note, I'm grateful to be able to walk, and people are wearing masks, and they gave the first dose of covid vaccine to a 90 year old in the UK. Perhaps our turn here will come soon. The lemon and orange trees are bursting with fruit, and the birds in my back yard are feasting on the persimmons high up on the tree. There is an abundance which is delightful.
