Hot Early December Colorful Lucy Park Nature Commune


It was back to Lucy Park this Friday morning of the third day of the 2021 version of December. The temperature is predicted to likely break a record today, sizzling to somewhere in the 80s.

In that barren of leaves tree you see above, those are not bird nests clinging to the limbs.

Those are clumps of mistletoe. I learned this when a passing stranger suddenly kissed me and used the mistletoe above as her excuse for this assaulting behavior.

I do not remember when last the weather was as perfect for communing with nature as is the case today.


Is that not a colorful display of leaves you see above? I've decided I want to build a house from scratch again, with the color scheme being fall colors, combined with some Southwest turquoise and Northwest green.

The last time I built a house from scratch the color scheme was basically beige.


What you see above passes for a hill in these parts. And atop that hill sits a picnic table with a view of the Wichita River.


The leaves are big which fall from some of these trees.

Unlike leaves on the ground in my former home zone of the Pacific Northwest, Texas leaves are crunchy, like stepping on potato chips. Northwest leaves quickly decompose and turn slippery and slimy, with zero crunch.

It is time to go make sauerkraut soup now. Heidi Klum's mother's recipe, and Heidi's favorite food when she returns to Germany for a visit...
