birds and weathervanes, reflected sunset, dollar-changing machine
There's a weathervane perched on the tip of the steeple of the Congregational Church in town--I thought at first it was a skeletal fish, but maybe it's just a decorative arrow.... but maybe it is a fish, swimming in the sky ocean.
The birds are not sea birds. Maybe they perch on the fish-arrow the way savannah birds perch on elephants. Maybe they just like the view. So high. Now that I know they cluster there, I look for them every time I pass the church.
And here's a photo of a reflection of the setting sun. It's actually a reflection of a reflection. If you look at this blog post through a mirror, you'll have added some extra layers.
I had some actual words-y content-y sorts of things to share, but pictures are good too. The other stuff comes and goes, and there's always something new. Oh, hey, but one other thing: at the laundromat the other day, I saw a woman, helped by her little son, empty the dollar changer of dollars and put in a whole tubful of quarters--presumably ones taken out of the washers and driers. What a happy closed system. There was a dollar jammed up, which they couldn't get out, and the mom said, "leave it for the spirits of the change machine." A cool thing for her to say. The boy was bumming about it, a little, but a torn dollar bill is no good, in any case.

I love the double reflected sunset. So beautiful.
Was the dollar jammed up inside? Or where it would keep people from putting their dollars in for change?

They were filling/emptying the change machine last time I was at the laundromat, too. I was thinking the same thing, about the quarters from the washers returning to the change machine. Except mine came from the bank; I had bought a roll of them. Adding new quarters to change things up, so to speak. ;)

I guess they must have to empty/refill the machines fairly often, come to think of it!

And don't turn on a faucet
Clear defiance of divine will there: "And God said, `Let the waters under heaven be gathered to one place, and let the dry ground appear.' And it was so. And God called the dry ground `earth, and he called the collection of the waters `seas.' And God saw that it was good."
