On this, the 2nd anniversary of this blog, I took a photo of the place, in the morning sun, that was an inspiration for this blog. I saw a rufous towhee moving around in the leaves as I was leaving- we exchanged greetings. I could wax on about how grateful I am for these daily pleasures as the larger world seems to become more and more harsh, but I think I will not. I will greet trick-or-treaters tonight instead.
