Ten.One Thousand, One Hundred & Thirty-Eight

1. I think I see lightning.

2. Rain drop on nose.

3. How to describe the shade of red on the woodpeckers? Saying “red” doesn’t feel adequate. Carmine? Cornell? Fire Brick? Madder? Turkey Red?

4. I don’t have enough eggs. It’s overcast. It’s going to rain. This is not normal. It’s my curse.

5. I could live here forever.

6. Well, I’m definitely not going to hear anything now.

7. A wine barrel painted black. In white letters, “BLM.”

8. Belated birthday dinner of smoked chicken, broccoli, and rice.

9. I ask him if it’s my imagination or are there more “Black Lives Matter” signs here than the last town.

10. Cookies and cream ice cream cake. Something like a cool breeze.
