Knock, Knock

If a tree falls on a roof and there is no one home to hear it, does it make a sound? Well, never mind, but I know what sort of sound I might be making if this had been my house. The beauty of a tree is obvious but the ugly truth is that eventuallyContinue reading “Knock, Knock”

Where the Sun Seldom Shines

The rising sun makes its morning magic by casting horizontal rays of light to illuminate parts of trees that seldom see direct sunlight. I almost expect to hear giggles from the trees as they are tickled by the rising rays. #trees #sunrise #sunbeams #light

Neither Old nor Young

The moon, as viewed from earth, is often called “young” when seen as a crescent in the evening sky and “old” when seen as a crescent in the morning sky. In the image above the moon is neither young or old but is full, and I can relate. I am not young but do notContinue reading “Neither Old nor Young”

Hour Lake

No, that is not really its name, but it is to us. Though it is part of Moody Lake, which was split in half by the interstate, we call it “Hour Lake” since it is an hour from home when en route between Ocala and Costco or Tampa. It’s their lake, so they can callContinue reading “Hour Lake”

Pond Puppy

Poppy, at the front of the boat seems, to be smiling and enjoying the breeze blowing by. At times her ears would rise up in a Dumbo-like pose as if she were about to fly but fortunately, she never rose up into the air like the animated pachyderm. Nevertheless, just watching her put smiles onContinue reading “Pond Puppy”

Beauty and the Best

The bright red Kamoa ukulele, that I have named Lokelani (Maui Rose), is a delight to see and I keep it prominently displayed. It also has a nice sound, but its fretboard doesn’t quite match my hand, so I have to work at playing it well. The plain brown, mahogany, Pono ukulele, on the otherContinue reading “Beauty and the Best”

Gnome at Home

Somebody special has a birthday, and a good friend gave her this gnome. It seems right at home. Thanks Karen! #gnome #home #birthday

Of Garlic Keepers and Pumpkins

Yesterday’s paper proclaimed that Halloween wares were going on display in local store next month, in July. If anyone wanted to be assured of getting their favorite costume or treat, they had best hurry…and blah, blah, blah. We’ll just wait and buy candy in bulk at Costco a few weeks before Halloween and set upContinue reading “Of Garlic Keepers and Pumpkins”

Racing Rainbows

We had enjoyed a late-afternoon boat cruise through canals and waterways around Henderson Lake in Florida, while skirting rain squalls here and there as noted in yesterday’s post (https://eskildoodle.com/2024/06/17/storming-the-sunset/). After turning around to return, someone noticed a stormy-looking cloud to the northeast and wondered aloud if it was headed our way. A check of theContinue reading “Racing Rainbows”
