Robert and I are house- and dog-sitting for daughter Amy this week on Skidaway Island here in Savannah.
They have a newly installed elevator, and since HR is having a knee issue (also newly installed), he decided to take the elevator up to the third floor.
P. S. ——
Morning walk while HR’s still snoozing.

Marveling today!
Do you ever go on a walk for the sole purpose of “marveling”?
I do.
And I love doing so in Historic District Savannah where I live.
Sunday evening walk.
What I have learned is that I have to actively look for marvels, attend to them, or I simply walk right by.

On a recent trip up to Atlanta, Robert and I ventured over to the city’s Westside Park — Atlanta’s largest green space, built on the site of the former Bellwood Quarry, featuring a massive reservoir that serves as an emergency water supply
As we were hiking toward the reservoir, we came upon this tree and its blooms …
What drew my rapt attention were the big leaves and the flowers that looked so much like our Southern Magnolia.
So I asked my friend iNaturalist for help:
What a fitting name for the lovely tree!

Marveling again this Monday morning.
Remembering my fried okra the other night.
(I’m quite aware that some folks would put this in the “moaning” not “marveling” category.)

Walking along the fabulous Atlanta Beltline recently, Robert and I came upon this interesting installation …
Grace Kisa and Ellex Swavoni
2020
“The Egyptian goddess Ma’at, along with the activism of African American women and Afrofuturism, are the inspiration for this installation which contemplates the idea of a cosmic balance and divine order.
The principles of Ma’at act as framework for how one should behave and speak. Truth and Justice lead to Divine order to ensure the way things should be. As the Earth responds to the stars and the planets, so does this installation to its environment, the sun, and the moon. The figure is the personification of harmony and the 3-sided wall is her balance. A universal order and the path of truth are essential to keeping the world running.”
