“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 943 (Sunday) – fall effect

The gorgeous fall day included sunshine, blue skies, and colorful leaves. The weather seemed great for a marathon, but I’m just guessing about that, because I don’t run, except to the bathroom or the refrigerator. Previous day route planning allowed for a clean escape from the neighborhood and the area of the Bay State Marathon road closures. 

Fallen leaves decorate other trees.

The foliage is popping with yellows, reds, maroons, and oranges and was the perfect seasonal backdrop for the stately monuments and the mood for the walking tour at Lowell Cemetery. Swaths of lawn were covered in carpets of richly colored fallen leaves. Small pine trees were adorned with colorful leaves from larger trees. 

The tour group numbered around 100 people, on site to hear a local historian talk about some of Lowell’s prominent citizens who are buried there. Stories were shared about early pioneers including those who invented Moxie, early over the counter medications, influential investors in the early telephone industry, and more. People asked questions and seemed to enjoy the information, and it was fun being out on such a lovely autumn day.

After the tour, it was back to The BungaLowell and the usual laundry, lounging, streaming, and catering to the whims of the Canine Overlord. It was an afternoon of letting him out, him barking to come back in, then him barking to go back out. It seems to be his game of preference lately.

At 3:00, there was a sudden spurt of activity and an apple, strawberry, blueberry crisp happened. The topping didn’t come out as buttery and crispy as past efforts, but that didn’t stop me from eating several bowls of it under the labels of “supper,” “dessert,” and “reward for washing Winston’s pee bands and opening the door 1,000 times.” Whatever works.
