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”
I Once Caught A Fish…

I had considered titling this post “TwoContinue reading “I Once Caught A Fish…”

Knowing it could not survive if trapped inside without food or drinkable water, I tried to coax and guide it back out through the door. But it heeded not my words of encouragement, andContinue reading “Finding the Way”
Dogs of a Feather
On our return to morning walks after our prolonged vacation, we were greeted by our good friend Daisy, who had found a hawk’s feather. It was not a gift, but she did want to show it off to her admirers. I must say it did look good “on her.” I have yet to encounter otherContinue reading “Dogs of a Feather”
Pineapple Lonely
The pineapple patch was pruned and replanted two years ago, and as expected this year we have a pineapple, but only on one plant. They usually start producing within two years of planting, as this one did. However, the eleven others didn’t bother this year, and we don’t know why. We will keep good companyContinue reading “Pineapple Lonely”
Bazookas and Grasshoppers
The venerable Piper J-3 Cub was produced with extra windows and other modifications and used in WW II and in Korea as observation planes and to direct artillery fire. The military version was known as the L-4 and nicknamed the “Grasshopper.” It was generally hated by the enemy since they knew that it was aContinue reading “Bazookas and Grasshoppers”
