Mid-Autumn

Beltane              Waxing Dyan Moon

We’ve had rain all day, a gentle steady rain.  Nice.  Temps have stayed in the high 40’s, it’s 49 right now at 4:18 p.m.

It rained on Penny’s birthday party.  A 70th.  The party makers moved the whole thing inside and all was fine.

Here’s another way to know where you are on life’s great wheel.   What kind of events do you attend?  Is it retirement parties?  7oth birthdays?  50th wedding anniversaries?  Funerals?  Getting more mail from the Social Security Administration than family members?  You’ve reached at least mid-autumn.  That’s where Kate and I are now.

Next year we’ll celebrate Kate’s retirement and I want to do a big party again.  I gotta think it through though.  Not sure just what form it should take.  We had a 50’s sock hop at a Maid-Rite restaurant for her 50th; I planted her the purple garden and we had the breast cancer fund-raiser for her 60th.  Gotta noodle this one.

An inside, cuddle up and read day.
