Overcast morning

It was cloudy and cool for the morning walk with the dog.

Here's our neighbor's magnolia again. More leaves among the blooms, and a lot of petals have dropped off.


The cul-de-sac maple from in front of our house. At least, I think it's a maple.


And our weathervane. My folks bought this as a memento of their years in the Netherlands. The Protestant churches there have a weathervane like this at the top of church steeples instead of a cross. My dad seems to have heard that's to remind people of Peter's betrayal of Christ, and how we all betray him when we sin. Could be considered gloomy Calvinism, or just a salutary reminder to live up to the faith we profess.


The sky behind it is how the overall morning looked.
