'Tis the Season for Preparations

This time of year calls for preparations of all sorts. A year ago we were preparing for Rebecca's trip to India, where she still abides. And I was preparing for my own journey there, which was full of wonder. This year it's the more traditional kinds of preparations, especially for the holidays. Thanksgiving was full of rest, good friends, and good cheer.

Things are already active on the cul-de-sac, our own neighborly social commons, as families

begin a series of annual migrations and transmigrations.

Late autumn meanderings

My life lately has been full of all of the energies and anxieties that accompany any fulsomeness. And so I have neglected my blog with the inevitable excuses and rationalizations.

All I have to show for what I've been up to are some photographs that perhaps will capture the essence of some of the actions, emotions, accidents, and intentions.
