First of Fall






We have some blooms lingering in our yard as fall descends. We had thought that the monarda and anemone, in particular, were long-since finished for the year.

Cove


Another Com-Pac Yacht (16 feet) is moored in Smith Cove. Actually, there are two in the cove, but one is tied up at a dock, tucked in behind a B&B -- not so easy to photograph. We were putt-putting around the inner harbor in our own Com-Pac 16 when we snapped this.

Exhaustion

I am just pooped. Took a new job (did I say that already?) and am working with admin to get a program open in a matter of weeks. It's supposed to be a therapeutic program; when I asked the director how she saw it as therapeutic, she responded, "Oh, I don't want it to be therapeutic, kids get enough therapy by that point in the day." Um, so no surprise, then, that DMH said it was failing, right? She's a clinician, so when I tell her tomorrow that my plan for the first week includes a group session run by =her=, I hope that she's open to the idea.

Phantogram

Vic and I are going to see Phantogram tonight at the Paradise.

In that last one I can't tell if she's talking about substance abuse, schizophrenia, or both. But I can tell we're going to enjoy ourselves this evening. So glad you're still around, alternative!

Home in Green



Green eyes has my kitty, and our new chairs are green. So is our rug (green), and our curtains as well. Vic's favorite dinner is green, and doesn't it look yummy, even before it becomes sauce?

As I Was Saying



Can you guess which of the two pieces of green glass is a "plant"? A couple of women have tumbled broken household glass and added it the harbor. Which stinks.

I'm almost done with my sorting. Everything still has to go into clear glass bottles, however.

(BTW, the plant is the one on the left.)

Switch


I hereby propose to the owners of these homes that they switch homes with me. Even for two weeks. They'd have more space, and a lovely backyard.
