Spring is getting serious here, greeting us with a delicate orchid, our first of the year. It has been a member of the family for several years, and it is always nice to see it reawaken. #orchid #spring

Shoes That Fit
They came for a while But now they’re gone Though memories will linger on Someday they’ll return At such time as they choose And the once-tiny feet Will fill bigger shoes #shoes
Meteor-right
This space capsule went where Apollo 13 failed to go, the highlands around the lunar crater of Fra Mauro. After that it repeated what Apollo 13 did accomplish well, it brought its three astronauts home with a meteoric ride through the atmosphere to a safe landing in the ocean. Aboard this space craft were AlanContinue reading “Meteor-right”
Whoop-dee-doo

As they passed through the clouds, their wings created a spinning wake, like miniature horizontal tornadoes, that tore holes in the clouds and left a confused pattern behind. Clearly this was another busyContinue reading “Cirrusly Swiss Cheese”

Fairy had been out on errands a little while earlier on Saint Patrick’s Day. When it was time to go to the neighbors for games and a corned beef and cabbage dinner, the odometer caught my eye as I prepared to start the car. For all the autos I have owned, I don’t remember everContinue reading “A Lot of #2!”
Made in the Shade
