Connectivity! Yay!

We are having a very fine and wholesome breakfast--oat meal you can see the oats in, and french toast where the eggy batter has completely hidden the sourdough bread... syrup is spicy apply stuff--and the espresso, absolutely the worst I have ever tasted! Best of all, the link here is strong enough,... Sign in to see full entry.

Not even at the crack of noon...!

Charlie and I didn't get outta town until 4pm, on our way to visit his sweetie in Ellensburg, about 3 hours away, then on towards Colorado. As it turned out, they only had a couple of hours to visit, and then we drove on until about 1am and a few miles into Oregon. We drove down through Yakima, over... Sign in to see full entry.

Clothes packed... Car isn't. Clock's running...

Charlie has homework from his writing class even before classes start. He has to come up with half a dozen six-word sentences that tell a story. At first, he was coming up with headlines, or story hooks: No, she said. The other button. The other shoe dropped--and exploded! "Well, that's over." But... Sign in to see full entry.

Mystery plants... Can you help identify them?

These were growing in the wetlands reserve in Singapore. I'd like to use a couple of them for cards, but I have no information for the card-back. I've been online and to the library, and bookstores, but I still can't find a name for these pretty leaves. Nothing with this coloring seems to grow... Sign in to see full entry.

Industrial beauty?

In the park where the Inchland moss gardens are, and the cool summer scenes, and the river source of many of my water abstracts, there is this stand-pipe arrangement that I think was installed 40 or 50 years ago, to manage the flow of an artesian well. (It's the water!) It isn;t very pretty just... Sign in to see full entry.

Travelling near home: Watershed Park trails again

Davy Dog and I had a great walk on Sunday, about 1.3 miles through the woods. It is beautiful, this park, in every season. Right now, it is so summer there! But... Autumn isn't far off... Sign in to see full entry.
