We will never run out of trees

So I appear to have a sinus infection, which I don't appreciate, and I don't appreciate the headache and tinnitus it's brought along, either, but today was summery-sunny and I got out of the house for the first time in three days and that was extremely nice. A couple of pictures below.



The lilac beyond the back deck is flowering properly now. The smell drifts in through the kitchen window, which I like much better than whichever of our neighbors occasionally smokes a really acrid weed. Smells of grilling and the bakery on the corner are also acceptable.



Strange figures can sometimes be seen from the other side of the window. The camera foregrounded the screen, but I like the cross-stitch effect.



I took a bunch of documentary photos of the work on the GLX—we were right about the earthworks built to move the rotary drill rig from the bridge out onto the right of way—but I really liked the glow of a greenhouse I had never noticed before on the far side of the tracks.



The plane trees were so beautifully sunlit on Sycamore Street.

It is my intention tonight to sleep more than two and a half hours in half-hour increments, because last night was nonsense. At least we had groceries delivered in the morning.

Sorry your sinuses are all mean right now. I hate that combo of congestion/headache/tinnitus too. My morning walks are being interrupted by sinus/tinnitus bc it's been windy and I come home w. an ear ache. And honey suckle bloomed out when I last walked and that made me congested bc apparently I'm allergic to it too. To note, one of the neighbors has their water feature up and running again and I have to re-route my walking area so the fountain doesn't set off the old bladder. Trickling water and age do not mix well even when not walking.

Lovely photo of the lilac and it reaches the 2nd floor deck? Wow! Venerable indeed.

I hope your sleep is much improved.

Thank you, and sympathy. It always feels unnecessary and it feels especially unnecessary against a backdrop of plague. I hope your ears stop aching soon. A honeysuckle allergy just feels unfair.

I have appreciated it since we moved in in the fall of 2016, but this spring, like the cherry blossoms and the other flowering trees of the neighborhood, I'm just finding it a lifeline. I foresee a lot of time spent reading on the deck this summer and it's nice to have good trees around.

I hope your sleep is much improved.

I actually slept last night! It was great! I am hoping it's not too optimistic to try to do it again tonight!
