It's raining.
It's boring.
Yet the Blue Jay with their hawk-like- like sound
Swooped down from a high branch to take a freshly roasted shelled nut
Thirty seconds later another appeared and grabbed another nut.
Their crests and colors of blue, white, and black were visible in the rain.
Not a bad way to walk on a Holy day where fasting and no driving happen once a year
Before you utter a sound the computer and other modern-day conveniences are essential to my well-being such as walking
So thanks Blue Jays for making this Yom Kippur easier

Friends are running a marathon in it today with raingear handy.
Ducks were racing and splashing without a care.
How waterproof are their feathers?
Others walk their dogs soe dogs wearing their fashionable raincoats and booties.
Many drive to their Saturday plans which are now indoors.
Hearing lyrics to every song about rain from film to rock to theater.
Left tunes home since umbrella and hood get in the way and impossible to get a clear signal.
Rain brings drop zones.
Walking in the the rain.

Expect nothing.
Accept what is and deal!
You have beliefs, ideals, and dreams.
Be who you are!
Sometimes you have to carry forward and upward.
Despite and in spite of others
Those who are well-meaning need to think and not speak.

You really have to hear and not listen
Certain people feel the need to say it all without regards to your feelings
Their opinion reigns supreme no matter the reasons or circumstances
The caveat here is to not let it disturb your sleep or how they are making you feel
You can deal but the truth is you can tell them off or turn a deaf ear
No matter what you do you just have to let it go or let them go because they wag their tongues without self control
Your feelings don’t matter to them

His birthday celebration with loved ones and friends all around.
He takes his Aunt’s hand and asks would you ride the carousel with me?
The greatest gift is to spend a few magical moments with her five-year-old nephew.-

The squirrels decided to entertain with acrobatics while they found the roasted nuts left for them by several trees.
Some leaves were soaked from the rain while others stayed bright and green refusing to fall
The humidity and dew point have made walking a melting Olympic sport
Hypocrisy and ignorance dance around us while others just try to move forward and carry on
People have enjoyed meeting others while putting prejudice and arrogance behind them and that is delightful
Wardrobes are still in Summer for now and probably will be until November right before Thanksgiving
This is an East Coast September and used to bes like Neil Diamond wrote Just lie on the floor til you sweep them away
It is a different September no matter what coast you call home
I met my husband forty-four years ago this week so I have a thing for September and tall blue eyed men.

We will never forget
We hear stories and remembrances
People witnessing horrific moments and people jumping from windows
No matter where you live you were affected
Someday there will be a National Day of Remembrance so we never forget and remind those who were not born yet what happened
Until then, the tears flow and we remember
Excelsior!
