Different views of yesterday's sky at dawn, all within five minutes. Brooding to uplifting.
My Wordless Wednesday, again. . .
With just a few words . . . Still playing catch-up here, today saw me fitting in an hour-long run, which felt good, and finishing off the batch of marking that gets handed back tomorrow, to be exchanged for a big stack of research paper proposals and annotated bibliographies.
And I took advantage of the day at home to make a big batch of Sweet Potato Vegetarian Chile from this recipe in the weekend Globe and Mail.
Then Paul and I cuddled on the couch and watched the first DVD of Supernatural, on the recommendation of a colleague. Not bad, although the genre's not our usual choice. But then, there was a time when I would have sworn I'd never watch a vampire show, and look who's a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan . . .
There you go, a not-quite-Wordless Wednesday. Halfway to the weekend, folks, maybe we'll make it!
Four grown kids, two delightful granddaughters, constant, long-time partner. An academic (scholarly teaching is the buzzword), I read, knit, run, garden, and more on a very small (Canadian) West Coast island. The other foot (pied à terre, indeed) is in the city, where I shop, visit museums and galleries, go to the opera. . .
I wonder what deep changes to your soul living with that view have wrought. In all seriousness.
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel that I would be a better person if I woke up to that vast palette every morning, rather than the grey closed-in vistas of city life.
ReplyDeleteThose are stunning photos. I envy you hour long run. I'm hoping to fit in a 30 minute one this afternoon after I've taught and done some more exciting marking.
ReplyDeleteYum I am going to try that recipe mater. I love sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI have not gotten into any of the vampire books or movies but the kids at school are ravenous for them.
Looking lovely up your way...
Every time I see your photos I want to pack up and move there :). It seems like the weather is cooler there, although it was 48 F when we woke this morning. I did a little happy dance!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your work load.
What beautiful photos. I love looking at the sky and seeing beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Thank you so much for sharing such lovely photos with us.
ReplyDeleteLisa: Logistics of living here are sometimes challenging, but when I contemplate simplifying (and eventually that will happen) I confront exactly the question you pose. . .
ReplyDeleteLesley: Yes, altho' your grey city life includes the possibility of the perfect morning croissant and an always available beautiful glass of wine.
Raquelita: Yes, well, we have to balance our excitements and that marking is some pretty serious competition!
Hostess: I'm not interested in vampires per se but am a Joss Whedon fan -- the writing on Buffy is just so clever.
