Pond Puppy
Poppy, at the front of the boat seems, to be smiling and enjoying the breeze blowing by. At times her ears would rise up in a Dumbo-like pose as if she were about to fly but fortunately, she never rose up into the air like the animated pachyderm. Nevertheless, just watching her put smiles onContinue reading “Pond Puppy”
Beauty and the Best
The bright red Kamoa ukulele, that I have named Lokelani (Maui Rose), is a delight to see and I keep it prominently displayed. It also has a nice sound, but its fretboard doesn’t quite match my hand, so I have to work at playing it well. The plain brown, mahogany, Pono ukulele, on the otherContinue reading “Beauty and the Best”
Gnome at Home
Somebody special has a birthday, and a good friend gave her this gnome. It seems right at home. Thanks Karen! #gnome #home #birthday
Of Garlic Keepers and Pumpkins
Yesterday’s paper proclaimed that Halloween wares were going on display in local store next month, in July. If anyone wanted to be assured of getting their favorite costume or treat, they had best hurry…and blah, blah, blah. We’ll just wait and buy candy in bulk at Costco a few weeks before Halloween and set upContinue reading “Of Garlic Keepers and Pumpkins”
Racing Rainbows
We had enjoyed a late-afternoon boat cruise through canals and waterways around Henderson Lake in Florida, while skirting rain squalls here and there as noted in yesterday’s post (https://eskildoodle.com/2024/06/17/storming-the-sunset/). After turning around to return, someone noticed a stormy-looking cloud to the northeast and wondered aloud if it was headed our way. A check of theContinue reading “Racing Rainbows”
Storming the Sunset
It didn’t seem threatening at first, just a cumulus cloud backlit by the sun and sending streamers across the sky. However, as our boat cruise about the lake and its adjacent waterways progressed, the cloud grew and began dropping rain. Fortunately, it was to on the opposite side of the lake and headed away fromContinue reading “Storming the Sunset”
Bug Light
Wow, look at the bugs buzzing about the light! Such sights entertain us during our early morning walks. Though science debates whether the bugs are attracted by the light, or merely blinded and can’t figure out how to get away, I like to think that they are just partying. Imagine a waiter in a flyContinue reading “Bug Light”
Quartz EnCounter
Take clear, white quartz, grind it to a powder, add some polymer resin, and the result is a smooth, beautiful, hard-surfaced, kitchen counter top. With this new addition, I can enjoy two of my favorite actives, rock-hounding and eating. YAY! #quartz #polymer #resin #countertop PS–I collected the crystals in the upper photo when I wasContinue reading “Quartz EnCounter”
Tropic Time Again
According to AccuWeather reports the tropical “disturbance” that engulfed southern Florida is the latest start to tropical weather season since 2014. That is small comfort for areas like Fort Lauderdale and surrounding regions that reportedly received nearly 20 inches of rain in 24 hours. Here in Ocala, we were at the northern margin of theContinue reading “Tropic Time Again”
