Actually it was quite a while ago while I still lived in Nebraska, but dreamed of the land where the rising plains met the peaks, valleys, and parks of the Rocky Mountains. We would vacation there once or twice a year in tents or a trailer made by my dad, and hike the trails, fish,Continue reading “Once Upon a While Ago”

Twenty Long Years Ago
Twenty years ago today, we “landed” in Florida for good. Actually we drove, and did not fly, and the trek brought us from Washington state all the way across the continent to central Florida. A cold front followed us then overtook around western Wyoming where slick roads made driving hazardous, but we made it inContinue reading “Twenty Long Years Ago”
Tree Scallops
New Year’s Day brought balmy weather, perfect for a trek through the local woods. Along the way we found this old, weathered log covered with fungi that reminded us of scallops that could be found at the beach. But these “scallops” feed on fallen fodder rather than filtering seawater. Acorns along the edges of theContinue reading “Tree Scallops”
Pieces in Place
We managed to get it all together well before the ball dropped signaling the start of 2023. It was challenging but fun, and may your new year be the same. #newyear #puzzle
Don’t Do It, Frosty!
I know Naughty Week doesn’t end until midnight tonight, but I think Frosty is getting a little out of hand! (See: https://eskildoodle.com/2022/12/27/naughty-week/) #naughtyweek #frosty #christmas
What to Do, What to Do?
It’s New Year’s Eve and what should people our age do to celebrate, especially when we don’t like being on the roads with inebriated celebrants. There’s too much high octane “gasohol” on the streets at such times. So, just what shall we do, what? #newyearseve #puzzle
Phoenix From the Frost
Perhaps the alter ego of the Phoenix, this blossom arose, not from the ashes of fire, but from the grips of a hard freeze. It weathered the cold without protection or cover, enduring by its own innate strength, a beautiful survivor of adversity. #phoenix #blossom #freeze #frost
A “Blue” Christmas
Family came to visit us for the Christmas weekend including “Blue,” our favorite bunny. He has been a member of the family for the past couple of years and is always welcome at our house. He is very well behaved, his fur is soft and fluffy, and he loves petting. He was a sweet additionContinue reading “A “Blue” Christmas”
Joyful Blues
On our morning walk we saw a bluebird, much like this one, perched on a streetlight in the full sun. Its iridescent blue back was towards us at first, and as we admired its stunning color it turned part way to reveal its dark red chest and light belly as well. Perfectly posed to revealContinue reading “Joyful Blues”
Naughty Week
Poor Santa! Christmas is past and the new year has not yet begun. That means people can be naughty and not worry about finding a lump of coal in their stocking next Christmas, and there is nothing he can do about it. Maybe he should just enjoy the well earned rest. So enjoy this “NaughtyContinue reading “Naughty Week”
