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”
Late Autumn Mushroom
This mushroom seemed to be trying to blend in with the leaves until its white cap burst forth from beneath its brown veil whose tattered remnants resemble a starburst. A day or two later it was all gone, nothing left but the grass and leaves and the fungal filaments beneath the ground from which theContinue reading “Late Autumn Mushroom”
Last but not the Last
Artemis is on its way to the Moon, paving the way for the next person to walk again on its surface. In December it will be 50 years since the Gene Cernan became the “last” man on the Moon. 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!
Birds of a Feather
Halloween is long gone and decorations are changing. We will hope that the decorations meet the approval of this pair of poultry Pilgrims. #Turkey #thanksgiving #poultry
Quiet On the Eastern Front
The winds have lightened, the rain will soon end and then it will be time to clean up the yard. We fared well through Nicole, with 2.5 inches of rain and maximum sustained winds of 30 MPH with gusts to 43. While several in Ocala are without power, we only had five minutes of powerContinue reading “Quiet On the Eastern Front”
