Wow, the gang’s all here, almost! Now all they need is a TV, drinks, and chips, and they’ll be ready for the World Series. Only, I don’t really know what they could do with either drinks or chips. Hope the guys aren’t too disappointed by that. And yes, they must be guys; would any womanContinue reading “The Gang’s All Here (Well, almost all here!)”

The Broken Tree
The Broken Treeby Howard EskildsenNot the picture of serenity,It wavered quite uncertainlyA running crackHad split its backAnd jeopardized its destinyFor a time it made some feeble shadeA trembling perch for a wandering jayPropped up by ropeWith the barest hope Of standing for another dayWhether by flaw or fate’s designIt could only be a matter ofContinue reading “The Broken Tree”

Cool weather has finally arrived here in central Florida with the passage of this season’s first real cold front a few days ago. Gusty, northerly winds buffeted the trees and even scattered my yard bags across the lawn and down the street after the yard waste that they contained had been picked up. Gray cloudsContinue reading “Cool Front”

This befits living plants andContinue reading “Fine Fungal Friends”

Its as if the Fairy dust is creating its own happy thoughts to make the spirits soar. Yes, it truly seems that having a Fairy in the house makes things magical, but then, I already knewContinue reading “Fairy Dust”
Reflecting On a Hunter’s Moon
The hunter’s moon cast its reflection in the pool this morning and is a reminder when the fields and forests, not the supermarket, were the source of food for the winter. It will be visible most of the night for the next couple of days and will still be big and bright even as itContinue reading “Reflecting On a Hunter’s Moon”
Stumped
A few days ago I showed photos of downed trees in our neighborhood (https://eskildoodle.com/2024/10/11/aftermath-ii/). They were recently removed, but the workers seem to have overlooked the obvious, the ten feet tall stump that remained of the larger of the two trees. Did they not see it or were they just in a hurry; that’s whatContinue reading “Stumped”
Once in 80,000 Years
Last evening, October 14, 2024, Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was visible in the western sky. It will be visible for the next several days in the early evening, and will gradually fade as it climbs higher and higher into the sky. If you get a chance, try and spot it in the next couple of days. OnceContinue reading “Once in 80,000 Years”
