Spinning top

...one of the zillion that Birgit gifted us over the years. I keep this one on the "vintage" (old) metal countertop next to the stove and give it a spin while I'm waiting for water to boil, or something.

A fairly intense day...D. had his senior portraits taken at school this morning while I went to a friend's memorial service. J. was a much loved woman in the community and it was really packed...all were wearing masks as required, but it felt closer than the flights I've been on recently. A burst of energy and garden clean-up in the afternoon. Poor garden, I will do better by you next year...
