Stars

Outside my window there is a forsythia bush, about 4-5 feet in diameter. Last week, its leaves glowed with autumn color: reds, golds, oranges, along with the odd green. It's raining today. When I looked outside to see the rain, I saw the leaves were all gone, leaving what looks like a pile of dead sticks. And my crazy, unseasonal forsythia bush? Right before Christmas, it is *blooming*, of all absurd things, golden stars scattered among dead sticks. Because sometimes, life is just like that.

It's been a while since we've heard from you here. Weird things like that forsythia make life more fun.

I've fallen into several reading binges and gotten several weeks behind in some online spaces. I usually check in on discord at least every other day, though.

Flowers are a source of beauty.
