Ten.One Thousand, Two Hundred & Fifty

1. Yikes. 3:41.

2. It sounds like rain but it’s probably just dry pine needles and oak leaves blowing off the trees.

3. Will they or won’t they?

4. He’s already awake but doesn’t want to go to school. We have a conversation about comprises we’re all making, the mutual agreements in place.

5. I wish I could get out of the car and film the swirling leaves.

6. Plank Coffee, downtown Cloverdale. I could live here. What is it about small towns? I like the quiet and the comfort of knowing every little person and thing.

7. The way the sunlight pokes through the canopy over the knoll. The sound of the leaves and pine needles blowing across the rooftops. The whirring of a wood chipper off in the distance.

8. I keep staring at the generator. Power today, but maybe not on Saturday?

9. Smart to have the people in the dental chair pointed toward the window so they can take in a tree or two and blue sky and birds, and not the white ceiling tiles.

10. I just wish it was hotter.
