Lunchtime walk. Proper autumn.

Woodland scene. It's raining, brown bracken, tree leaves turning yellow.

What is Trump talking about when he says he wants to go after “Democrat programs”?

Healthcare? Clean air? Safe food?

These aren’t “Democrat programs.” These are people programs.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

This borage plant appeared late in the season and still seems to be newly blossoming, maybe hoping for a mild autumn. #WildflowerHour #WildflowerAllotment

Now it is the time of night
That the graves all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite,
In the church-way paths to glide:
And we fairies, that do run
By the triple Hecate's team,
From the presence of the sun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolic—MND V

That's interesting. Compare that to the Hamlet soliloquy, and there's some overlap:

Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood,
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quake to look on.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing...

Macbeth: IV, Scene 1
