Once upon a time, many moons ago when the world was in a different place and I was too, I used to share a post with you around the middle of each month entitled Simply A Moment, and invite you to join me if you wished. Then, for quite a while, it felt too difficult; now it seems more possible again and - in these oddest of times - it feels appropriate to stop, notice and record just sixty seconds of life as it is right now ...
- the original post "From Blurry To Clear" about the genesis of Simply A Moment

And so, without more ado ... (click for a clearer view).
To my blogfriend Honoré, over at Morning Glory Studio who continued the tradition, I am very grateful, and for her welcoming me back to sharing Simply A Moment again with you. Wishing you gentle days, happy times, and the space to stop, look, listen and share ...
I could see it all just as you describe it.

Beautiful writing as always and I can completely empathise with the Mac problems and Disk utility start ups etc having gone down that frustrating route myself. Love the photo of your Japanese Maple. I love seeing red leaves in autumn xx

Oh I always enjoyed your Simply A Moment posts ... it was in the days before I myself blogged. It reminds us to just take a moment. Thanks for bringing this back.

Well it seems as if using a different browser was what was needed to comment, how strange!
We had some good blog memes back in the day didn't we? I always enjoyed 'simply a moment' and it is lovely to read this moment in time that you have shared.You have such a lovely way with words.

"time for something comforting and warm" That is exactly what you have provided here with your smooth cozy narrative, even as you describe it starting to rain. Thanks for encouraging us to stop, contemplate and record. I think that will be comforting and warm as well. Bless you.
