What news on the Rialto?
by chuckofish
The rollercoaster continues! This week I have had middle-of-the-night tears as well as big sunshine-y smiles. Yikes. But here’s the big news from our corner of quarantine…
The other evening, this owl visited a tree behind our balcony. We became fully invested in tracking its every move — lots of shuffling, crouching, and finally, dive-bombing what we can only assume was backyard prey. I subjected my family to a series of live updates via text. Quelle excitement!
I planted some tiny succulents (party favors from the weekend’s baby shower). They finally got some sun on Wednesday, so DN tried out the new-photographer’s-classic: a super macro shot! (Or is it a micro shot? A close up.) Will they survive? I don’t have a great track record with succulents.
Finally, I posted a very candid photo of myself wearing a dress my mother sent me — her favorite maternity-wear from 1990! — and Instagram went nuts for it. It is a genuinely great dress! Here’s hoping the temperature cooperates and I can keep it in constant wardrobe rotation.
