November 1

At 10 AM today, the formerly dead-end road that runs behind our house became a through street. Just about everyone who doesn't live in our neighborhood is thrilled. (Go figure, right?) I went for a drive to try it out (and yes, to clock the distance to Target, which wound up being six minutes there, four minutes back). While I was coming home, the sun dropped below the hills, and the view was lovely:

As I watched the yellow and orange light fade into darkness, I thought if this extension hadn't gone through, I wouldn't be seeing this awesome sunset.

I still don't like that road, but at least I'm learning --kind of late in life-- to make lemonade from lemons.

And there has to be a God wink in there somewhere.
