Moths and Motor Oil




Last eve we had a visitor. A huge moth that wouldn't leave. It hung out on the walls of the den. It was actually very pretty and its coloring was kaleidoscopic. We tried to chase it but it was wildly out of our grasp.



Today we spent most of the day in while the keeper was at a funeral for a former parishioner. It was lovely except for a eulogy that didn't stop, the prayer for the Husky victory at the Apple Cup, and the Husky fight song at the end. She wishes people would just consider style and taste over cuteness when it comes to funerals. The ride to Holyrood was wild, as they weaved in a non-escorted parade down 405, I-5 following the hearse. She said that Holyrood was very warm today--no wind, chill, no need for a coat.

Then when she got home she realized that she hadn't had her car oil checked in months and when she checked, she couldn't even find a sign of oil on the dipstick.It was all dry. So she walked to the 76 station and bought some oil. 2 quarts low...oh my. She said she was very lucky to have thought of it. She said that she enjoyed the walk on the new South Woods walkway. Lots of wild madrona, oregon grape, ferns, salal, and blackberries.

Tonight we are watching the Hetty Wainthrop Detective Series. Nothing like Patricia Routledge on a Saturday night.
