There's Always a But...

Definitely peppy today, But...... Autumn weather has descended upon us even though fall is actually twelve days away until it officially arrives.....much cooler air, cloudless blue skies, a crispness in the air that wasn't here day before yesterday. Even with a cashmere shawl around my shoulders... Sign in to see full entry.

Peppy or Poopy

These days (in my old age), I never know which I am going to be (peppy or poopy) until I get there and have my first cup of coffee. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with sunshine or rain or warmth or chill or wind in the willows or anything that I can put my finger on, or count on. An aged... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Not Now?

If I ever thought about doing anything special, it's time to get on with it. After all, my time is moving on. And even though, as The Bible tells us, "My times are in God's hands" (Psalm 31:15), it is still up to each of us to use our time wisely, and accomplish something with the bit of time and...

What Is...?

When grocery shopping day arrives at my place, the very first thing on the list is one of two things...always. They really have nothing to do with each other, but are things I just have a fit if I run out of. One of them, of course, is paper products (Toilet Paper, Puffs+, and Paper Towels). The...

Taiga and Tundra

A beautiful mixture of cloud cover and sunshine peeping through the layers of clouds, with windows of blue sky, and spots of dark clouds resting on a multitude of still green trees is occupying my mind. So, what is perplexing about that? Well, I'm trying to read a very enticing book and I keep... Sign in to see full entry.

I Think I Met One Of Pat's Family of Squirrels

I don't know his name. He didn't tell me because his mouth was full and overflowing with the biggest green walnut I have seen in a while. He was little and scrawny and looked like a heavy wind could easily blow him away. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure it is a he. I had stepped out into the... Sign in to see full entry.

My Chard Is Red

I really over-did it today and don't really have what it takes to blog. So, this is going to be short and unless I get some late-day energy spurt, will probably not be reading and commenting on your blogs today. Mondays is that day that Son Stephen does my grocery shopping for me if I email him a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Loon Is Loud Today

Daylight came today at regular time with a few clouds in the sky and expectations of a beautiful Sunday. After I had my first cup of coffee while sitting in my favorite recliner that looks out upon the surrounding area, I noticed that instead of getting lighter, it was getting darker. The sky was...

Recently FODMAPS Came Into My Awareness

They (FODMAPS) happen to be some kind of little buggers that sneak into my diet and cause me all kinds of troubles and sometimes pain. It has only happened since my last birthday (the 85th) as if they know that now I am old and decrepit. So, I have been studying up on them and finding that I have... Sign in to see full entry.
