Michaelmas

 September 29th

Happy Michaelmas!  I had a little bit of goose for the occasion.  

Here are my happy things from today:

• This morning I had a dental cleaning.  This is not something that I enjoy.  What I do love is how clean my teeth feel after.  
• Keziah drove with me so we could go out for breakfast after.  We had a lovely breakfast at a place called The Purple Finch.  We followed that with a trip to Trader Joe's for a "few" groceries.  We got a lot.  I'll have food for after work this week and she got breakfast for her family and more.  There are some yummy looking autumn specialties there.  We got some pumpkin ice cream too 
• In the afternoon I went for a nice walk with Amy.  I noticed something on my walking app that I hadn't seen before.  There was something called Brigit's Garden in part of the park that we don't walk in.  We decided to detour over to it during one of our loops.  There are some lovely flowers.  I hope to remember this next spring to see what it is like then.  

Most likely a cutleaf coneflower.  
It was much taller than me.

Google Lens says this is a buttercup.  This one in Brigit's Garden is a little larger than I usually see in the wild.

Stream heading to Dorr's Pond.

• While we were walking, a message to our family group came from Gideon.  He was starting to walk home from school and he would be okay walking a bit if whoever was getting him wanted to wait some.  I told him it wouldn't be me.  A little later he said he was okay to walk home.  Amy and I finished our walk (about another mile) and I headed home.  Traffic was starting so I skipped the shopping I was going to do.  Almost home, I saw Gideon and asked if he wanted a ride, he didn't.  He made the two mile walk home by himself.  🥰
• Keziah gave me some awesome earrings!
