| This morning's rose |
I'm going to try and write a quick post for my Tuesday offering, since I've got to leave soon for an acupuncture treatment. I saw this lovely creature on the way home from my morning walk, which started at the Cornwall Rose Garden. There aren't many looking as beautiful as this one; many have reached their peak and are dropping petals. If you look closely, you can see some dew still on these pretty petals, after a cool morning, not frosty but close.
This is my favorite weather of the year. After heat and humidity making the environment uncomfortable, everything has changed around here to perfection. Soon we will enter into what we call Indian Summer, where the leaves change to riotous colors and the nights get colder. Soon I will bring out my winter covers for even better sleep.
I did see on the news how awful it is right now in California, and I commiserate for those of you trying to find comfort when the overnight temperatures are warmer than it should be during the heat of the day. But as all things do, it will pass. One thing about the weather is that is doesn't stay static but dynamically changes from day to day.
Well, this will have to do for today, since I've getting ready to make a dash out the door to head to my appointment. After that, I've got another appointment for a massage, and I'll just have to grin and bear it (not!).
:-)
Thank you for sharing some beauty with us before you head off. I hope both your appointments go well and leave you feeling refreshed.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching that heat wave on the news, I wondered if that affected your part of the country. I'm glad you got some cool temps there! Hope acupuncture and massage goes well, I've never tried either but would like to someday. 🙂
ReplyDeleteOne of the bloggers I follow said it was going up to 115 degrees today in California. Unbearable! The cooler temperatures have started here as well, Jan. I pray California cools off soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's 76 at 3:00 here in SeaTac. With the chilly nights it's perfect. I really need to get outside and do a little basking in these lovely afternoons.
ReplyDeleteHope the acupuncture works!
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to cool off at this time of year but not too much cooling. I like the frost to hold off as long as possible.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rose!!! Enjoy your day D J!!! And thanks for the visit. (Ps...no, we are not below sea level)
ReplyDeleteSome leaves here have started the change.
ReplyDeleteYou've got me curious ... I'd like to see a post or two from you detailing your experiences with acupuncture -- its benefits, risks, what it feels like to have needless stuck into you, etc.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rose! Have a fun day!
ReplyDeleteFall colors are something I don't experience in Hawaii, where it is perpetual summer.
ReplyDeleteOur nights have been getting pretty cool. Come to think of it, the last few days haven’t exactly been torrid. I think there’s some heat in the forecast though — at least in the daytime.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a perfect, satiny looking rose. I love the soft color.
