When I stand in my back doorway on the step, I can see into my neighbours backyard. I was brushing my hair on the step one day when I glanced over and saw a _very_ strange sight. They own two dogs. Fact. Dogs lick their balls. Fact. I saw one dog lying on its back like it wanted a scratch, and the _other_ dog licking that dog's balls. Weird.....I'm pretty sure they're both male.....I'm pretty sure that kinda thing doesn't usually happen......and the memory shall stay with me forever. Not sure how I feel about that.
Walked out the front of my house with a cup of tea one morning, and it struck me how beautiful the dew was on the grass. I usually don't notice it, but it was like faery diamonds.
We have mice. We have traps that work sometimes, but not totally. I think the mice are cute though, even if they are annoying sometimes. I was in the backyard two days ago, looking over at the fence where the grapevine is, and I saw two cute mice come up together over the bit of asbestos leaning there, and then both run in opposite directions along the top. One disappeared, but the other climbed up one of the posts the grapevine relies one, paused to defy gravity on the side of the post, and then ran back down again. Very cute, and very relieving to find they may not live in the house after all.
Since the beginning of the year, I've actually seen a few movies. The odd thing is that every time I've been to the movies lately, I've noticed that eclispe that appears in the top right-hand corner of the screen every so often. I don't really remember noticing it much before, but I have this whole year.
Went to John Forrest National Park with Z yesterday. We walked along until we heard the sound of water that means it's going over rocks. Our original destination was the falls, but we turned off the path and stood on the bridge at that point of that sound anyway. It looked so nice that we climbed down the bridge and walked along the rocks in the stream for a little way and sat down together on a big smooth rock in the water. While we were there, I looked upstream and noticed how one small 5cm fall was creating bubbles. The bubbles then flowed down to another small fall where some disappeared, some survived, and some more bubbles were created too. They flowed onward, some surviving, some not, and came to rest among the feathery network of little tiny branches hanging into the water. It was very beautiful, calming, and transfixing.
Was sitting on my front step and looked across the road to see rainbows appearing and disappearing in the onion grass. Up close, spiderwebs may appear horrid to me, but across the road, waving into and out of the sunlight in the breeze, they were awe-inspiring.
