My favorite holiday is fast approaching and we are looking forward to celebrating with family. Decades of memories will mingle with the present and we will relive stories old and new. Two more days, can hardly wait. #thanksgiving

Land of Light and Eternal Night
Artemis I is on its way to orbit the Moon and today (Monday, November 21, 2022) will pass within 60 miles of the lunar surface. The purpose of this space program is to return people to the moon on the third Artimis mission. If all goes well with spacecraft testing on the first two flights,Continue reading “Land of Light and Eternal Night”
Beginning to look a Little Like Christmas
We usually wait until after Thanksgiving to start on Christmas decorations, but this year the Christmas Fairy just couldn’t wait. Aided by an Elf that was a combination of Dopey, Doc, and Grumpy, a wreath-like collection of artificial leaves, vines, and grape lights was gathered and mounted above the lanai. Dopey and Doc had aContinue reading “Beginning to look a Little Like Christmas”
Pool in PJ’s
The pool season is over and now it is covered for the rest of fall and winter. Though it was last used over 6 weeks ago, it was nice seeing it open and hearing the water feature splashing onto the surface. But temperatures have dropped so we put the its PJ’s on the pool whileContinue reading “Pool in PJ’s”

In the past it was competition with the USSR that drove the dive into space, butContinue reading “Last but not the Last”
A Moment’s Notice
We were setting up some new bedroom lamps, oblivious of the setting sun. A side errand led me by the dining room window. Wow! Everything had to stop and I just had to get this photo. Then it was back to work and minutes later the scene had faded. It was nice to have noticedContinue reading “A Moment’s Notice”
Birdie in the Window
Not long ago we were at Anna Maria Island, and this bird silhouette in the window added its charm to the sunset. Though the “bird” was inside the window, it was quiet and left no messes behind, unlike the pigeons on the electrical lines above our parking spot at a nearby restaurant. #bird #sunset #pigeonsContinue reading “Birdie in the Window”
Cold Autumn Moon
An approaching cold front provided begrudging looks at the gibbous Moon this morning. Shortly after this photo was taken, the Moon disappeared as if eaten by a dragon, not the fire-breathing type, but one with a cold heart. #Moon #autumn #dragon #cold front
Fairy Loaves
Fresh today, and wow, does the house smell good! The Fairy Coffee Mother is also a baker, yum!
