Whoo! Hoo! After a nice downpour of much needed rain for the plant life, the sunshine is WHITE and BRIGHT! The fluffy, puffy clouds of white are ever present in the crispy, clear blue skies! I like the air is clean. I like the day is calm.
I like the peace of mind of being un/deremployed. I got a call from a head hunter suggesting that I call everyday for work. And that means missing out on being home, blogging, and caring for parakeets and the elderly.
At around 3:45pm, the sunshine comes out while I’m trying to read a lastest blog entry on a dream of Russia. The sunshine was so blinding a few seconds ago that I had to close my eyes. The warmth of the sunrays felt/feel really good. And I figured my freckles could become more and browner.
The air is crispy but my asthma-like itchiness inside the chest/right area makes me cough. The wind is blow strong enough for the tops of the trees to sway back and forth. Earlier this morning, I saw one big robin scare away a smaller bird, which was not sure about drinking/bathing in the water of our bird bath our back.
The grounds were still wet from last night’s rainfall and it rained during mass because a white old lady came in late and had a wet umbrella propped up against the kneewling pad of our long pew. It was a good thing it didn’t rain because Paw only brought it umbrella.
There’s nothing to blog, expect today’s weather was wet and cold. The whole day was cold and the clouds were gray but only a few drops of rain fell. There was a mockingbird that flew away from the branch after it sat on the tree top of the neighbor living behind our shared fence. I saw one sea gull flying among the gray, rain clouds and away towards the north direction. There were several crows that flew outside my bedroom window upstairs in the computer room. I guess they knew something but I don’t understand.
The clouds of white seems to be in the shapes of whales and and UFOs. The air is still cold and the winds blow colder still.
At around 2:41pm or so, the rain drops seemed to have fallen a little bit. The smell of chemicals was in the air. We had finished eating lunch and didn’t have much time before the rain started.
Maw had suggested that I help her harvest more chayote squash. But she needed my flexability to get underneath the mess of vines that held her precious veggie. There were two sections underneath and we harvested around nine BIG chayote squash! That’s expensive in the market sometimes $2.00!
One BIG one will be given to Melody, a elderly Chinese lady, who lives with her husband behind our shared fence. That will hopefully be used to plant in her thriving backyard. They are a nice couple who share some veggies and fruits from their gardens (sometimes in the past).

The days are getting cooler. The winds are blowing cooler. The air was clean and fresh. The skies were crispy, clear and blue. But there were high-altitude, HAARP clouds of white. Some puffy clouds showed up, too.
Crows were “cawing” and the grown-up, baby blue jay was heard screeching in the afternoon while the parakeets enjoyed a brief gust of strong winds. This was after Maw pulled two more gray hair from my front “right” hairline. There was a third but very tiny one near the crown.
I watered the plants outdoors — both front, back and a side plot of OVERGROWN purple violet flowers. Overall, the day went smoothly as did my brief 30 minute mid-afternoon nap prior to attending this evening’s mass. We managed to find parking on the unpaved parking lot of the parish because the main parking lots were loaded with cars from the weekend’s October festival. The priest joked in the closing sermon that he prayed really hard for good weather, which was then posted in our local newspaper to show rain from Monday through Wednesday.
