here comes the sun

HERE COMES THE SUN

each morning i like to sit in the chair in front of the large window that opens on to our porch
it faces almost to the east
the sun will slowly creep over the back of the condos across our courtyard
leaving this azure that pretty blue color in the sky
then
as it peeps over the top of the building you gradually see the larger courtyard with its green grass and shrubs and various flowering plants sort of pop into focus like you would see if you used your light on your camera to take a picture to make it more in focus

as it peeps then pops over the building it floods our dining room living room combo room with this bright light and with this palpable heat that makes you feel like you are in a sauna

a similar experience can be had if i stand in my garden looking up to the mountains in the distance
you can see the sun as it hits the peaks and then slowly moves down the mountains slopes onto the garden
the heat is palpable also

it even seems to activate the birds the chickens the lizards

i like to start my mornings as the sun comes up in one of these two places

we have two places here where we like to see the sunset
one is the butterfly beach in montecito across from the biltmore resort

the above picture was taken recently at that location

this area is where the mudslides came down the mountains and into the sea wiping out things as it went
it destroyed most of the biltmores landscape and flooded its lower floors
it has since been redone and is a beautiful match to the sunset

recently we met mr hs future kidney donor there to see the sunset
she was the one that was the best match
the sun setting among the clouds was beautiful
its always picturesque there

that day it was cloudy but as the sun started to set in the sky the clouds seem to open up to allow the beautiful sunset to be seen again

i think nature knew how important that sunset was that day

recently i saw this video and pictures in the linked article here from the inouye solar telescope
click on the video to watch the suns surface

its fascinating to see this first ever close up picture of the suns surface as it billows up like boiling water
it just seems magically as i watched it
which i did for a long time
over and over again

i was mesmerized and thankful

oh my that was a half time show

OH MY THAT WAS A HALF TIME SHOW
i know very few spanish words but i didnt have to know spanish to watch that half time show

yesterday i told my wife she look i dont want to go to a super bowl party
i want to stay home and watch all the commercials and the game and the half time show
all by myself or with just you

well
you dont always get what you want right

having gotten up at 130am the day of the super bowl
spending all morning at the school garden and the community garden
i went home had lunch with my wife she
i said i need a nap
so
thats what i did
i woke up just a few minutes before the singing of america the beautiful
then

click on the video then click on the youtube link on youtube to watch

i watched the singing of the national anthem by demi lavato
as i watched i thought
she almost killed herself 2 years ago
she would have been gone
but
here she is belting out the national anthem
i like it sung like she sung it loud and without messing with it
i even rewatched it twice later after the game

that itself should be a story
her survival
what emotion she must have had standing there singing to all of us

so
i told my wife she yes ill go to the super bowl party
ill watch the first quarter at home by myself
life is always about compromise right
take the second quarter to get ready to go to the party
arriving
just as the half time show was about to start

oh by the way my wife she said i put in money in the pot for the super bowl raffle thing
i didnt know what i was doing so i just picked spots

then the show started
i swear in the house we were at yes it was mr h and ms b house
when those two jlo and shikara started singing and shaking
the balloons in the house started to move
the windows rattled
at times the lights even would blink off and on
i wonder if that happened all over the us in peoples home

it was interesting
there were 11 adults 3 toddlers 5 dads 5 moms 2 grandmas 1 grandaddy ms b mr h
all locked into the tv
no one was talking just singing and moving to the music
most of us didnt understand what they were saying
some like my two sons that know spanish did
but
it didnt matter
we were all energized
the house was energized
the electrical system was energized
then it all ended
we sat for a moment
this must be what its like to get shocked by electricity

we looked at each other
oh my i said
that. was. a. half time. show.

then
we finished watching the game
still feeling the electricity inside
the final two quarters im sure was so good because the players felt and heard those two performers energizing the world
it the energy got transferred into the players

good game
great halftime show

oh
we my wife she and i won most of the pot

what a great super bowl night
