Blue

No, I'm not feeling blue. I just like the approximately 30 minutes, right at dusk, when photos look blue.

I don't even mind that this looks fuzzy. Actually, the air was kind of fuzzy. It's not snowing, but it's like there is a mist hanging around making layers out of the various distances.

And I've shown you one window full of my blue glass collection previously (link below). But here is most of the rest of it. The real cobalt blue glass does not fade in the sun. Some of the pieces are no big deal, and some are kind of special. Maybe I'll talk about individual pieces some time.

This is the left side of the kitchen window. The pieces that look yellowish in the photos are white milk glass.

And the right side.

I really love it! Blue is my favorite color, except when it's yellow. Blue and yellow together really make me happy.

I got myself in gear today and did some editing and cleaned up the kitchen yet again.

BONUS: Here is today's LOL moment. My friend Sue posted this. She said she had proof that today was pretty cold.

Blue Dusk

 Not much to share again. I got out and did all the grocery shopping for Christmas. I edited a little bit.

Enjoy one of my favorite times of day. Blue dusk. Picture not taken today. I looked for some Christmasy sights while at the stores. Nothing doing. Wreath and tree sale racks are nearly empty and looking tacky. Nowhere that I went had any kind of display just because it's Christmas.

I did get a great deal on a ham with a coupon and shopper card. Buying groceries is serious business any more.

I guess I should just be glad I was able to get cranberries this year. Some years the stores are completely out. Today the missing shelf item was peanut butter. I did get some in a smaller jar, but the big jars have been off-and-on available since Covid started.

My back is lots, lots better. I think it's the fastest I've ever "come back" from this bad an attack. But carrying the groceries today reminded me it's not 100% yet.

Winter Seems to Have Arrived

  I always love the parts of winter that are crisp and when the snow is fresh. I was trying to catch the blue phase of dusk, but it wasn't quite late enough. Look who I found instead!

But the light did fade. It made a nice 'moods of my backyard' picture.

Directly west, the cloud cover was so complete there was no hint of color in the sunset.

In other news: I've managed to irritate a ligament in one knee, so I mostly rested that today. I made yogurt, worked on editing, did accounts, and other gentle pursuits.
