My Daily Travels

The high winds a few days ago took my windmill for a flying lesson. John is anchoring it down underground and cementing it in so that the next windstorm will have the fight of its life with my favorite yard wind generator. That ugly stack of boat docks you see on the other side of the fence will be... Sign in to see full entry.

We rarely stay up past 10:00 pm on a work week, but the Steelers versus the Ravens kickoff wasn't until 8:20 pm, so John and I are feeling a bit tired this morning after staying up late watching the nail biter game last night. Nearing the end of the game, the Ravens were clearly winning after Zay... Sign in to see full entry.

Leftover remnants of snow and a cloudy sky are not on my list of favorite things, and it's not an inviting scene for one to hang outdoors.

The three ladies were enjoying the remnants of a cornfield near my house. Unfortunately, the rare male... Sign in to see full entry.

It is freezing this morning and there is a fresh coat of snow on the ground with more of the white stuff predicted to fall throughout the day. It's a good thing I stocked up on essentials and groceries yesterday. I can now prepare a New Years Eve dinner that covers all of the bases for bringing good... Sign in to see full entry.

It has been snowing nonstop since last night. The news reported an expected break in the snow around noon today, but that is still TBD. John is digging the snow blower out so that he can clear our walkway and make a path to the feeders. The squirrels have been hard at work this morning digging for... Sign in to see full entry.

Since early this morning, the west winds have been blowing 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, sending tree branches flying around and scattering objects around in my yard, including two heavy metal lawn chairs. As I sit here writing this post, I can hear the wind howling, and earlier, when I... Sign in to see full entry.
