Rainy day radiance

Seeing the small is called Clarity.
Keeping flexible is called Strength.
Using the shining Radiance,
You enter the Light,
Where no harm can come to you.
This is called Enlightenment.

Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)


The four days of old fashioned New England June weather is history. Days with gentle breezes, warm temps and low humidity, some of the key ingredients needed for my summer weather happiness. It did not, could not, would not last. Today is showery, increasingly humid with heavier rain on the way. I had to blip between raindrops after an early trip to the grocery store.

Noah the lawn tractor repair genius is scheduled today, but it will probably be too wet to mow if he fixes it here. He hauls a cool trailer outfitted as a traveling repair shop. He sets up a ramp and drives the machine in for the quick home fix-its.


I merely open the back door to the patio and I'm greeted by many feathered and furry species begging with big eyes. A nature loving friend of mine who checks in on my blips wrote me an email after seeing Fyra's film. Here's what she said..."Chipmovies!...
Betsey, you're going to grow up to be a highly colorful nonagenarian with wild animals in your pockets, hat, shoulders....
Too Funny!"

Fyra's cheeks

For the Record,
This day came in cloudy with increasing showers, cool and humid, falling barometer.
