Unexpected Distance and Changing Colors

Unexpected Distance and Changing Colors

By Kim and Nigel September 23, 2026

What started as a quick, ten-minute loop around the block turned into a proper 2.4-kilometer autumn walk today. My mom completely surprised me by keeping the pace going, and we ended up spending a delightful 33 minutes taking in the neighborhood.

The trees are in that beautiful, unpredictable transitional phase right now. Some have turned vibrant shades of yellow and orange, while others are holding on to full summer green. That randomness is one of the best parts of the season—nature doing its thing on its own timetable.

Dixie joined us for the trip, and all that extra distance definitely did the trick—she's out front thoroughly worn out and relaxed while we unwind.

While sitting out front brainstorming how to capture the walk for this post, Mom spotted a few rare late-season dandelions on the lawn and picked them—a quiet little moment before the afternoon's yard work kicked off.

Now, the saw battery is charging up so I can tackle cutting down a tree, and the weekly grass clippings are waiting. With any luck, this will be the final mow of the season!

Dixie playing with her stuffy and as she done ✅ laying down and wants to play now.

Time wasted or time searching as in searching for time

It is not what I have for the time the reason for doing this maybe is a note to see how I'm doing, let others know I ok. might be to pass the time for the Kid I never had, or Let it known of me, my life as such wouldn't be so mysterious. The mystic or lost. I find the lost a saying goes, not all that wander are lost, some follow a path. may that be for you or me to check up once and see it was ok, sort of a lost on days Others have kids, and we see us go by with none? And give that Dream up. Life is not supposed to be magic, its the same only Magic is and should be its science, always amusing, same theatric's, everyday acts. Not everything is supposed to be Mystic in it. Some times it ought to be Lost So hopefully, these are some answers to how that may be. Be it a door or a window in one's soul. It still doesn't talk about the builder enough. I'm still ok not ok being so not influential one assessment I notice, Although today is a lot easier to be found online. with learning Aids as cell phones, I don't think everyone has the same intellect, and it's not access to information, just saying. My paper bullet journal index gets every day a sentence. The more I talk to people. I'm always saying the difference I see in people who journal. The increments might be subtle, but the change is dramatic in communicating with others if you haven't spoken since fall or over some time, even weekly Updates It might just show people to journal for themselves and how it's mentally changed my life.
