Yes, the days are getting longer though it might not seem like it. The Sun actually begins to set later in mid December even though shortest day occurs around December 21/22. In contrast, the sun continues rise later until early January when, at last, it begins to come up earlier. These few minutes are hardlyContinue reading “Longer Days”

Tree Fingers
Our hike along the nearby greenway takes us past this tree that was laid low by strong winds years ago. Now it rests on its side, its once towering branches reaching out like fingers, neither threatening nor inviting, merely resting.
Candy of Christmas Past
Good news: This Christmas candy is almost gone! Bad news: There’s more where that came from. Little by little we will get through these tempting little treats, but we don’t want to end up looking like bears getting ready for hibernation. On the other hand, my dad used to say that the best way toContinue reading “Candy of Christmas Past”
Indoor Bloom
This amaryllis grew in just a few weeks from a bulb in a small puck of soil that expanded greatly with the simple addition of water. All we had to do then was wait. It’s amazing how some water and a little patience can brighten one’s life.
Puzzle for the Birds
We had a great time New Years Eve and the day after putting this beauty together. It was fun, but more challenging than first expected. But we still love our little avian adversaries on the puzzle and will definitely do this again in the not-too-near future.

We will be watching closely for new tenants and hope they produce offspring for us to enjoy. At any rate, it is a funContinue reading “Room for Wren(t)”
Cows Love to Party
May you have a very happy 2022 with very little to “beef” about.
Last Lights
Tonight is New Year’s Eve and we will turn out the holiday lights for the last time since tomorrow will be New Year’s Day. But this means today is special for another reason; it’s the last day of ”Naughty Week!” Have you never heard of ”Naughty Week?” If not, its for good reason. Many peopleContinue reading “Last Lights”
Tic-Tac-Sky
Confluent contrails left by a multitude of jets persisted long enough to leave this heavenly hashtag or tic-tac-toe grid in the sky. Like the coming new year, the game has not yet begun, but it makes me wonder how will it begin and what will be the next move.
