Dear Mother Nature

Dear Mother nature,
your wind storm
reminded us to put away
our patio furniture for the season

Winter Walk

Two years ago this month (January 8, 2020), we said goodbye to our sweet Max. I can’t believe it’s been that long already. Yet so many things have happened to our world the past two years that it seems like enough for ten years instead of two.

Almost Over

This is what it looked like in my neighborhood on Wednesday. Gorgeous day. Temperature mild.

Our summer was extra dry, which is likely why our fall came late. Didn’t show up until the first week in November.

Popping In

Hello Blogging world.

I’m popping in to wish everyone a blessed new year.

I hope you all had a nice Christmas.

Greetings

Bolt, Fall, Roses

Times Are Weird

These times are weird
Germs are everywhere to be feared
Division by media is engineered
Old friendships are broken and smeared

Snow, Flowers, and Chiengora

So, this happened over the weekend. 👇

Yellow Carpet

I took the above photo on Sunday.

Fascinating

Shh, listen. Can you hear that? It sounds like a babbling brook.

The nearest creek is six blocks away, yet the trickling sounds like a stream circling the entire house.

I follow my ears to find where this is coming from.

Bored?

If you’re bored, come live where I live. There’s never a dull moment.

Just a quick little post.

Disoriented

I woke up on Monday morning (yesterday) feeling very disoriented. Why?
Take a look at the photo below that I posted as my header back in January.

Morning Serenade

First thing in the morning, I step outside to let the dog out. Steam billows from my breath and crispy white sheets crunch under my boots. A soothing song greets me from high above. Wait, what? There’s a bird singing? I can’t remember the last time I heard a bird sing. The branches are still bear and the ground is blanketed in white. Birds don’t sing in the winter. Am I dreaming?

I blink upwards, then squint to focus between the spiny sticks. Something flitters.

Tropical Desert

We finally did it. We got sick of winter and went back to the tropics.

Flip-Flops and Sweaters

I think the earth has shifted, or maybe someone has drugged me and moved my house to the North Pole, with me inside. Yesterday we received six more inches of snow on top of the ten inches already planted. On the forecast below, tomorrow’s (Wednesday’s) reading is not the wind chill, but the actual temperature (-25c & -29c). The overnight temps are on the bottom.

Sock It To Me

A Refrigerator Saga

Just popping in to give an update to those following along.

Chaos and Calm

Good morning, afternoon or evening, for whichever time you read this post.

I had a brief and serene blog post scheduled for today, but then something happened. . .

Real Life Magic

On April 30th I walked along the creek near our house, and below is what it looked like.

Dear March

Dear March,

Thank you for this past Sunday, for the vibrant sky, and the refreshing hint of spring, soon to awaken and beautify.
