We will never run out of trees

[sovay]

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.

Aw, I'm sorry about the infection - feel better soon! ♥

That glowy greenhouse is particularly nice, you're right.

I hope the sinus infection goes away soonest!

Your poor sinuses! I hope their affliction is short-lived.

That lilac is VENERABLE.

Both your cats would make fine cross-stitch patterns. It is odd how people don't work so well in cross-stitch.

In an earlier comment I mentioned the show "Dispatches from Elsewhere," and said that your neighborhood pictures reminded me of some of the places the characters explore; you said you did not know the show at all but hoped they had good trees. Sadly, they mostly, now that I have reviewed the situation, do not. They have a dragon and some waterfalls, though not strictly in real life or real time. Also they did not stick their landing, but the rest of the show is still splendid.

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.

Oh noooooo sinus infections are horrible! I have a suggestion (from needing to treat many sinus infections without antibiotics) but don't want to fling it at you unsolicited. Let me know if you'd like advice.

I hope you feel better and get lots of sleep and have a lovely peaceful Shabbat.
