I don't know how, but I slept in until 9AM today. I can't remember doing that for well over a year. I suppose opening all of the 'doggy doors' so that the animals can come and go outside as they please kept them from waking me up. I like that idea. Once I get woke up, it's hard for me to go back to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Serious Note
Here's a thought that might help us all. I may not be the most prolific commenter on this site, but I need this site more than you may realize. It motivates me to continue when I don't want to continue. It's odd how I can read my writing as a Word document and miss glaring errors, but the minute I... Sign in to see full entry.
I spent too much time on the phone talking with a friend yesterday to actually tell you that I did something, but people sometimes just need a willing ear. This person has well over 4500 'friends' on FB, but they are just beginning to understand the words of "Have You Seen Her?," a 1971 song by the... Sign in to see full entry.

eh... another cold and rainy day cold enough to the point where I don't want to go out in it and risk getting sick. I need some sun and warmth! This heavy damp air is the perfect ingredient for pneumonia, and as Carly Simon sang, " I Haven't Got Time For The Pain! " I'm going to attempt to post some... Sign in to see full entry.

It looks like it's going to be one of those rainy days. It rained all night long and the forecast looks like on and off rain all day. Oh well, I need to clean up the house anyway. I hope everyone had a good and happy Easter day with family. Take care! V Sign in to see full entry.

Warm weather is not a common event here in the UP. It was 63 and sunny here yesterday, but it will only climb up to 45 and it is raining today. Variety is the spice of life, but sometimes ya get too much pepper... know what I mean? Either way, I have all three of my animals laying at my feet in my... Sign in to see full entry.

It is supposed to be a beautiful day here today, maybe even touching the mid 60's. I could surely use a day like that. I've got one more newspaper column to write today and then I can go wander the Hiawatha for a few hours. I've got other writing to do, but it's almost Easter and I'm restless and...

It was relatively 'warm' here yesterday, so the dogs and I went out for a run. As I was about to make my way down the trail that leads out to the Lake Natalie Campground, I saw a Mama and Baby Moose well across the grassy meadow I was passing. The photos are posted over on my photo page. They aren't... Sign in to see full entry.

A cooler morning following a night long thunderstorm. While I didn't think that we 'needed the rain,' it sure did a number on the snow in my back yard! We'll be in the mid 40's all day today. If you didn't see it yet, be sure to check out the two photos I posted over in my photo blog. I've seen a... Sign in to see full entry.

Making It Flow Again
Another 50+ degree day today! That big pile of snow in my front yard is melting faster than I had predicted. For various reasons I had begun to fall out of my normal rhythms and it was disturbing me. I was still writing several thousand words a day, but it wasn't feeling right. The normal 'flow' of... Sign in to see full entry.
