In the late afternoon the Australian pine tree needles sparkle in the sun. The pine needles are flexible and shimmer in the breeze. I keep a close watch on the brown acorns falling to the ground. Some clouds in the sky. Low flying military airplanes appear and disappear. I planted this pine tree in the back yard 40 years ago.
In the early evening, we watch NYAD on Netflix, a heart warming movie. Tonight, I will look for another movie to watch.
A friend comes by and we talk together for an hour. We are both in our 80’s and exploring our lives. Being old is a surprise, we still have options and dreams.
I am beat and drink a tall glass of water with rehydration salts. I suspect it is those days of heat stealing my energy. It helps and I am able to sit outside and do my daily chair exercises.
