Colors and Bees

The day got off to a colorful start
The day got off to a colorful start – Sunrise from the OBC

Glorious sunny day. A little chilly. They had snow not so very far from here. And, we’ll be back in the rain tomorrow. But, today was grand.

Pink.
Pink. Lots of Pink.

And, everyone knows I love bees… I was able to sneak up on a couple in the OBC garden this afternoon.

Settling into the OBC. I thought it would be like moving into a new apartment. Done that lots of times. But, moving into the OBC is more like moving to a new universe. It is OK. Just different. I am more than a “renter”. And, it really isn’t like being in boarding school. Because, you don’t “graduate” from the Asylum. (Nobody gets out alive.) So, it is more permanent. And for those of us who are mentally and physically with it – we can leave anytime we want to. (Never mind that it will cost a lot of money to leave.)  So, it isn’t like being a lifer in prison.

For me, this is a good place to be. It is home – Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. (Robert Frost) But, it is still strange.
