some things for the senses

Apples--they are coming ripe, and they taste good. In sunlight, they feel warm in your hand.



When I doubt my contributions to the world, I look at this apple tree and feel proud.

Here are some cosmos flowers. Did you know they have a fragrance? I didn't until I tried sniffing one just today. Then it was me and the bees fighting for who was going to get to put their face in each flower ... You know, they are so much prettier than this photo. They grow by the road, but when you look at them, there's no road. When you're looking at them, they're abundant and graceful, more than this photo shows. How can I put it. The photo tells the wrong truth.



One of my favorite views. When osprey_archer was here, she recognized it because (I am guessing) I take a lot of pictures of it. If I could lucid-dream on demand, I'd go flying over it.



And a drawing! I'm not sure if it's a girl or a boy or a someone who isn't either, or who's both.

Oh, these are lovely. And cosmos are splendid. I haven't managed to plant any for several years, but maybe I'll manage next spring.

There's a house near a farm supply shop in town that has its front lawn turned over entirely to cosmos (or it did at one time; I haven't been by that way for a while). It was so glorious. I think that's the reason I planted the area by our mailbox in cosmos.
