We don't get a lot of seasonal colour this far north and by the time I'm able to visit Taranaki again autumn will be long gone, so I'm delighting in the persimmon tree more than I normally might. Half the tree looks to be dead but it was still fruiting all over a few weeks ago.
I've got a case of the "can't be bothereds" today. Like the persimmon tree only part of me is functioning. I was going to say blooming but that would be a gross exaggeration. I feel like I'm somewhere between apathetic and melancholic. I wonder why? Can't think of any explanation. Maybe it's to do with lack of stimulation, both mental and physical. Best go for a walk.
Go well.
We only have a few trees that change in autumn here, too. We enjoy every one.
ReplyDeleteHope your melancholy goes away soon.
Thanks, messymimi, I'm feeling my old self again today. That might not be a good thing but I'm used to me.
DeleteWalks are always nice...seeing what green is left is important. Our persimmon is not that lovely in the fall.
ReplyDeleteA walk always makes me feel better, Tabor even if I can't walk as far as I used to do.
DeleteThe persimmon tree is pretty and I don't think I have ever seen one. I hope you get out for a walk and that you feel better for it. I have been a bit like that lately too. I guess we know why and hopefully we'll be able to get out more soon.
ReplyDeleteHI Rosie, Yes, I felt much better after my walk. Don't know if I will face the elements for a walk today, the weather is cutting up a bit rough.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm at that point too, I've found making myself do exercise every day somewhat helps me to not go potty.
ReplyDeleteI think exercise has been the saviour of many of us, Amy.
DeleteI've not eaten a persimmon in such a long time. I used to like them, too...I guess I still do! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I guess you still would, Lee. I've never liked them. And guess I never will. :)
DeleteI love persimmons, one of my favorite fruits. I should go for a walk as well.

No walking here today, Amalia. A storm arrived during the night and it is lingering today.
DeleteI'm sure that being busy and having goals is the key to survival and happiness in this lockdown. I have only had one day when I was really lethargic and couldn't get my aching body motivated. I think that 'aching' was the problem. For some reason I couldn't turn my neck without severe pain (I think I got it too cold working in the North wind) and I found that very debilitating. Fortunately it was only a two day event.
ReplyDeleteGraham, You have the most remarkable powers to overcome anything that is put in your way. Luckily,my 'down' day didn't last longer than a day.
