Scrambling still—dump run, quick shop, probably the last mow of this lawn—but I swung by Beech Hill, as usual. Harrier, TV, corvids, little birds, ’rumps. Also a lovely patchy sky of blue and cloud. The first flames of fire in the foliage. Crows hollering in the distance.

A warm bright day. And now a cool, dark night.
