I took those photographs in my yard this past week.

I think the flowers in the first photo are Goldenrod. I'm unsure what the small, white, daisy type flowers are in the second photo. The berries in the third photo started as flowers in Spring / Early Summer. All three of those are some of the first signs of the color changes of Fall / Autumn where I live.

Is that the hill you want to die on?

Well tell me, we both matter, don't we?
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

I took the first two photographs this morning, to provide some perspective on how high the flood waters were on Sunday, September 13, 2026. I am fortunate that my house is on a rocky cliff ledge, so that when the brook that passes parallel behind my house breaches its banks due to flash flooding, it is below me. On the left side of the second photo, you can see the rock ledge that juts out and is several inches above the normal water level height. In the third photo, that rock ledge is below the height of the raging rapids. On the right side of the first photo, you can see that most of that land is dry. (A residual small stream of flowing water is also visible, but I am unsure of the source of that flow, although normally dry areas in there still have some ponded water.) In the third photo, that normally dry area is covered with water.

I took a pill almost every night
In my mind I was waiting for change
While the world just stayed the same
