Daily Trees # 211

Posted on August 13, 2026August 9, 2026 by Septuagenarian in aging, nature, Nourishment

Daily Heat #195

Posted on July 27, 2026July 18, 2026 by Septuagenarian in nature, Nourishment

It’s a challenge to find beauty in air crowded with wildfire smoke and the thermostat dancing between 90 and 100+ degrees. Yet beauty is there. I simply need to wipe off the sweat and look.
