Day 147 not totally hunkering down

August 15, 2020. Sunset 8:01 PM.
San Francisco, CA.

So warm- windows open. Some neighbors stepped outside. We heard someone yelling up the street- "thank you health care workers" and something about the bell ringing. A woman paused with her bike a few feet away while we rang the bell. This bubble held us for a moment - it was almost like holding your breath. Plus it was so warm-- (no winter coat). It’s really nice.

San Francisco, CA.

Norman was born on VJ Day in 1945, and we celebrated his 75th birthday this evening in the unseasonably hot weather and another colorful sunset. We were so excited we forgot to take a photo of our ensemble until after we disbanded and went into the backyard with the gophers. Happy Birthday dear Norman!! Thanks to Elisabeth, Richard and Paul for the band! And thank you to all of Norman’s friends and family for your loving wishes and birthday treats!.

Color on the sky — what a treat. And it wasn’t cold either. Almost like waking up in Oz. Better-- no tornado.

Getting ready. We thought we’d try a different vantage point this evening- Plus a little extra excitement - ringing the bell while preventing it from rolling into the street.

Does anyone remember those side by side cartoon panels where you were asked to find 5 differences between the 2 panels?
Captured between the reach and the touch.

It brightened the end of a long, dark day when Mardi emerged out of the fog at the last minute to join us at sunset.
