Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Askum quick out into the rain,
Got his first drink, out into the field.
Returned for first toweling!
Strange getting up in the dark again!
Waited till the rain slacked off.
Out lane, startled deer, searched forest.
Logs galore, replanted in a new spot.
Back for next toweling!

Rounded shapes,
branches filled with reds, yellows, golds.
Autumns winding her way down!
Many trees just extending gray fingers skyward,
Having already shed springs new growth.
Blankets of fallen leaves and needles,
warmth for soon frozen earth.
The long sleep comes!

John’s Splinters! Two days of much needed rain, patters on the deck, gray skies, Nuthatches at feeders early. Kinglets forage spruce. Nearly waited out the rain, before walk out. Just sprinkles slowly dying! Later to the market. 52ºF headed to 59. Ya’ll be careful out there!

I do. But not the reason I moved here. A few. Not much point as I just cook for one.

It was pretty cool. Evening Petal.🌑

My Old Friend even after double hikes,
Up and ready to go.
Breakfast, a wait for John’s coffee,
Out the door into the growing somber morn!
A day of log retreads,
Knew exactly where they were.
Carried them off to new hidey places.
Back in his bed first nap of the day!

Trip up Island to walk the trails,
Askum a search for different logs,
and I to smell the ocean, enjoy the bright day!
Lobster boat picking up traps,
Gull contending with a crab.
Long beach edges covered in seaweed,
forest floors a carpet of turning leaves.
And a quiet sit!

John’s Splinters: Yesterday skies, blue wind swept cirrus, then the dark clouds arrived late! Morning spectacular, heavens filled with streaks of pinks, roses. Quickly smudged out by low hanging stratus. Juncos, Robins in masses. 53ºF headed to 58. Ya’ll be careful out there.

I'm gonna stay with the bison theme for one more day! If you ever get a chance to visit Yellowstone National Park in winter, do so. It can be otherworldly. One huge snow #scape.

A solitary bison stands in deep snow, its dark fur contrasting sharply with the white surroundings in a black and white image.

Askum, with the longer dark,
Now needs out as we get up!
Can’t say I blame him!
He returns quickly to eat,
get his missed scratch,
then is ready to head out again.
In early dark, he hit the woods,
finding logs to carry,
quick hiding, the off searching again!

Life has become so much slower.
Time to rest and take stock of where I am.
Figure out how to deal, enjoy, and plan the rest of my days.
Not wanting to, but also how to handle the time , when Askum is no longer with me!
Perhaps begin a bucket list,
and expand my senses!
