Dead Red Conversations (Part 2)

R.I.P. Dead Red (6/10/12 - 5/7/14)

Things come and things go... 

Ironically, as I've started this short series of posts, we've been informed that Mr. Mechanic Man wouldn't drive ten feet in Dead Red let alone all the way to Maryland. She still runs sweet and strong, but seems as though the red rust has gotten the best of Dead Red. And more ironic yet is that Dead Red now really is Dead.

Things come and things go...

And this seems to be the theme standing out to me for most people I know in their lives right now. The passing of things, the coming of things... ever changing and transforming... 

I think we're all just shedding our winter skin... preparing for the humid, hot, grey-blue summer ahead. And this winter was especially bitter, especially dry, especially winter, so our winter skin is thick and strong and chaffed and the shedding of it... it's not easy. And our new springtime summer skin is young and not quite willing to be fully exposed to the baby rays peaking out these early days of spring.

So...

adjust.

So...

adapt.

So...

accept.

Be flexible.

Or don't.

So on Thursday I drove down to Sun Prairie with Tim to look at a van that's for sale by our good friends' house. It's the same van as Dead Red except newer and less wear. I really enjoyed the drive with Tim- just the two of us listening to NPR and talking about mixes and upcoming shows and Tim telling me about this program he heard about how research showed that people with shorter and easier to say names tend to be better liked. I enjoyed seeing the new green grass and the sun at dusk.. dusk is getting longer now with summer approaching. 

And the earth is changing too...
