Rae and I went on a walk around the neighborhood before the rain came. We saw lots of red-winged blackbirds, robins, downy woodpeckers. Lots of autumn olive with their pretty silvery leaves which are made slightly less pretty knowing they’re so invasive. The Allegheny blackberries are all different shades of red to black. The cool wind coming from the storm was nice after a hot day.
I haven’t been listening to as much music recently, but I’ve been really enjoying the new Moving Mountains album Pruning of the Lower Limbs, and Raspberry Moon, the new album out from Hotline TNT. Wet Leg has an album coming out, moisturizer, that’s definitely going to need a listen.
