Noticing the year, mid-August 2008: the Canada goldenrod is blooming. This is my first concrete inkling that the summer is waning. Some ornamental cherries in the Riverway are shedding leaves, but they're weakened trees. Also, I'm wearing socks at home for the first time since May.
According to Rock Band (the videogame) and wikipedia, the song "Green Grass and High Tides" was a hit for The Outlaws in 1975. I listen to classic rock radio regularly and I'd never heard it until I was pretending to play drums to it in a videogame. I highly doubt this story about it being a real song; I think it exists solely to block one's progress in the game, in order to force you to buy new songs.
This will be the only weekend out of five (two before two after) that Alexis and I will both be home. We intend to enjoy it (sleep, play videogames, sleep more).
But next weekend I think I'll run an Urban Nature Walk, with the intention of looking at all the cool mushrooms in the Riverway. This has been an excellent summer for mushrooms, as those of you who have friended
sin_agua,
miz_geek, and
cottonmanifesto have seen the amazing pictures.
My main goal for the weekend is to finish up my yellowstone AND portland pictures, and post them so I can move on with my life and photographs. Aren't you excited.
