Autumn Evening Colors, Pink Sunrises and Royal Blue Days

Last night after grabbing a quick dinner and running some errands, my husband and I made a quick trip through Mount Muncie Cemetery just before sunset.  I took several snapshots with my smartphone, and liked this one the best:

Fall colors at Muncie CemeteryThis morning, after commuting in the pre-dawn darkness and parking almost underground, I emerged to find this pink sunrise greeting me on this fabulous Friday morning:

Health Frontier

I succumbed to a health screening and health risk assessment at work today.  Voluntary coercion also known as an incentive to reduce, by a pittance, my health insurance premiums for the first six months of 2011.  I think I may have participated in a health screening a few years ago, but not recently.

My numbers, while not ideal, were not terribly out of whack.  The scariest one was an unexpected uptick in my blood pressure.  I really shouldn’t be surprised since I’ve had a forty year love affair with salt, which I’ve now resolved to resist as best I can.  I see more whole wheat bagels, oatmeal and bananas in my future, as well as a return to my evening Rottweiler constitutionals.   The nurse also suggested that I double-check my blood pressure in a day or so to see if it was a fluke.  If not, then I might also be visiting my doctor soon.

While waiting for my ride after work, I experienced first hand several leaf-filled dust devils swirling around the circle drive of the Plaza Library Building.  I enjoyed the stress relief and photographic opportunity, even if I all I had at hand was my cell phone.
