Dusk Delight

For the next several days Jupiter (upper) will approach Venus (lower) until they appear as close together as the width of a full Moon on the evening of March 1, 2023. Speaking of the Moon, its thin crescent shape will pass by the planets tonight, February 21, 2023, and tomorrow night. So if you wantContinue reading “Dusk Delight”

Gone Today, Here Tomorrow

The leaves are not yet done falling. Blow the leaves off the driveway today and more will come down tomorrow. Soon that will end followed by their seedy sequel. Pollen pods (aka tree testicles) will be the next thing to fall from the trees with their dastardly little pods and pollen all over the place,Continue reading “Gone Today, Here Tomorrow”

Very Berry

They look beautiful and appear to be ripe but none of the birds have eaten any, perhaps for good reason, so I don’t think we should either. #berries #birds #spring silvers pings

Been There, Doing That Again and Again…

The 24″ X 36″ canvas print finally came, and now it is where it can be seen first thing in the morning and last thing at night. It just begins to capture the magic that keeps us going back. The saying “Been there, done that,” does not apply there, for we will never be doneContinue reading “Been There, Doing That Again and Again…”

For the Birds

Please tell me we were NOT up past midnight last night. That would be for the birds! #puzzle #birds

Here’s Your Sign!

We set our on our walk this morning, confident that the rain was over. Winds whipped the fallen leaves about, and a stray twig came twirling down by our feet as we rounded a bend about half a mile from home. Perhaps we should have payed more attention to the weather sprites. About a mileContinue reading “Here’s Your Sign!”

Pollen Nation

Yup, I just had to get a sample and look at it under the microscope. This is from pine trees that are blooming, and I can hardly wait until they stop! But there are plenty other plants, including the oak trees, that are also contributing to the pollen load, not to mention all the bloomin’Continue reading “Pollen Nation”
