We have lots of guests/visitors this month. I don't know if they are here because they want to get in some time before the holidays or the weather can interfere with travel plans or if it's just the time of year when they need some reflection days or, possibly, maybe they just decided to come--and they came.
Whatever, one of the guests is wearing a hair extension on the top of her otherwise grey hair. The extension is grey, too, but its pieces are thicker than hair, more like a decorative mop. It looks nice on her, attractive in a creative, unusual way. She reminds me of how much I enjoy quirky guests. Probably because most of us aren't.
I am reading Louise Penney's latest (#19) Detective Armand Gamache mystery, Grey Wolf. In it she returns this story to the island monastery from an earlier book. Everything about this place is unique, including the almost total lack of visitors. The story and Penney's writing talent is terrific, of course. Maybe the visitors' issue in it is what's making me more aware of our own visitors these weeks. Lucky us!
