New Horse

Khan gave Clover a parting gift. Just born and not named as of yet a new little female horse.

I See Red Leaves

When I went to the cottage on Friday it was warm, sunny and I sat on the dock and dipped my feet into the water, then a storm passed through and the layering of clothes started. By Sunday there was a cool breeze but if you stayed out of the shade it was sort of warm. In the background the trees were changing colours. Birds are passing through going south. Still there is the hope of a bit more summer. One last weekend that expresses all the colours, smells and tastes of summer.

Clowns

I had to post this picture of a mural at the CNE. It was located in the kids section of the Exhibition and it caught my eye while I was waiting by one of the rides. Isn't that clown a bit too happy for what he is doing or does he have more of a sneaky look?

Shadows and Light, Chaos and Order Reflections

There are some staffing changes at the group home. Whether it is permanent or temporary is up in the air. I’ve been in this field for a gazillion years and yes I have seen lots of change but when it comes to a staff leaving or a new staff coming in, it is always very tiring. The rhythms of the group home will go on, people will slip into the tempo of the flow and sun will shine on the good things as well as the bad.
Remember sitting on the sidewalk on a hot summer day and staring at the waves of heat wafting upwards? How do you understand that? The waves distorted what you would see beyond them. You know that what you see is an illusion but what a strange but beautiful sight. A small gift that at the time you may not recognize. That is what change feels like.
