Strawberries grow in our garden
Lucky you.

Nothing beats either strawberries or tomatoes grown locally.
(not now obviously!).
Well, yes.
I’m not much of a fruit eater so only eat the odd one now and then.
Actually, I love fruit, almost all fruit, (with the possible exception of both bananas and kiwis; those I will eat, but do not love them), and will happily devour fruit in vast quantities.

The invariably delicious grapes, apples, pears - and, above all plums (which are usually tasteless here) - that I consumed last week left me both speechless with gratitude, yet greedy in the matter of consumption.
As does Mrs AFB.
Indeed.
I did see Mrs Blackbird with one in her mouth not too long ago.
Ah.

I can well imagine her sheer, blissful enjoyment.
Here we currently have vile weather. The sort of dark, wind and rain that makes you glad you have nowhere to go.
Oh, gosh, yes.

Vile, the sort of utter vileness you don't normally experience until well into November.

There was an ugly (and ominous) brassy light earlier, an unpleasant backlight to the dark stormy wind and rain of the day (and yesterday).
 
Mtb celebration of life for fallen fellow bikers, trail volunteers, is tomorrow Saturday 10/4.
Reverse ride, forces you to slow down and reflect . 16 miles, should take 2.5 hours or so.

I knew both casually, still each soul touches us.

As I age, too many souls are leaving us.

There are lots of memorials tomorrow, apparently. Not only yours, but also one at my university for a professor who recently passed away, and also for a dear family friend who passed in April (which is in Colorado, so I'm not able to attend it).
