Others have curtains
We have stripes of blinds
They rustle in the wind
I really do not mind
We have our own whirlwind
shifting back and forth
Sometimes it is from the South
but also from the North

RDP Monday: Solar
Even the Swiss chickens have solar panels on their house. It keeps them nice and warm during the Winter months. In Summer they prefer to lounge in the fresh air on the porch.
RDP Monday: Deluge
4 years ago they decided to renovate our building. We live on the ground floor, and the complete building was clad in scaffolding. When it rained we did not get wet but the rain attacked the metal and it could get quite noisy.

I sort of collect orchids. I have discovered that in summer when they are outside they begin to develop and grow and even make flowers. However, this year was not such a promising year for good developments. I did notice that one of my orchids from last year had decided to do something different. Ir had developed some new leaves on the stem. Nothing really special until I noticed that there were also two new roots, and not weedy roots but nice firm roots.
I think it is now telling me to give it its own pot and earth. This has never happened before so I just might do it.

It does not matter if you cannot eat it, it is the flavour that is important. They all have that river taste.

If there is a flower, there will be a seed afterwards. Of course they should be pollinated by some sort of insect, although I was not so sure about this one. I never expected seeds on an amaryllis, but here they are. I really should have planted them. I did see a triffid in the living room and I have it under strong suspicion,which was one of the reasons I did not plant them. Too many triffids can be a problem. They tend to follow you with their heads.

We humans need a lift for our elevations.
Birds, like this magpie, just flap their wings and they are already airborne.

This is my afternoon bliss. The housework has been finished, lunch has been cooked and I have had my hour’s rest after lunch. Now it is “me” time. I had to wait long enough, throughout the Winter, actually about 50 years until the kids were gone and my working life came to an end. The warm Summer days have arrived and I make myself comfortable outside on the porch. The computer is installed, my camera is ready for action and I am ready to do the necessary. I just have to put the orchids on one side to make some space and remove the neighbour’s cat from my chair. I can really please myself what I do and I have my earplugs for the background music.
We Golden Oldies are satisfied with little.

RDP Monday: Venerable
Even the church is falling on hard times and one of the monks from the local monastery is now giving his blessing to the cheese being sold in the local supermarket.

We have had so much rain lately that everything is transforming itself into fluid. Our cathedral is disolving.
