Despite the thick, heavy air that created mugginess throughout the night, it was a comfortable sleep. At 3 AM, after a bathroom break, I returned to my room to see Erma standing by the door to the deck. Erma, followed … Continue reading →

Friday was a nice day. I spent most of it relaxing while dealing with a tumultuous gut episode but managed to accomplish some household tasks, a load of laundry, and a dishwasher load. Friday evening, Laura brought three chicken dinners … Continue reading →

We’ve had some lovely mild days and Saturday evening was about as perfect as a summer night as one could find for mid-August. Today, we expect a blast from hell’s furnaces with mid 90° temperatures. Today, 33 years ago, I … Continue reading →

So far, none of my plans during this break have worked out or have just become completely screwed up for one reason or another. Ahhhh… This morning, I have been forced to work inside as the air around the deck … Continue reading →

Thursday… oh, please be gentler, accommodating, and encouraging. I have a few days left of my break, and I’d prefer smoother sailing. The weather, for the most part, seems cooperative with s comfortable high of 80 degrees but with rain … Continue reading →

“Wednesday, I had such high hopes and even expectations for you, even after the tentative original plans fell through.” Wednesday went the same zigzagged, ever changing path as Sunday afternoon/evening, all of Monday, and all of Tuesday. Before Tuesday was … Continue reading →

The blustery day could have been out of a chapter from Winnie The Pooh. The wind was with us all day and heavy rain clouds were always threatening us with a downpour. Only a few light, rapid showers passed over … Continue reading →

Once my schedule got off track at the start of the day, there was no chance in hell I was going to resume my intended course for the day. Today was just one of those days where everything I planned … Continue reading →

I made the mistake of returning to my bed after letting the dogs out to potty following their breakfast. I propped open the door to the deck, and immediately fell into a deeper sleep than what I had experienced throughout … Continue reading →

Today, August 13th, is International Left Handers’ Day, a celebration for those who write with their left hand. Until today, I was not aware we had a day set aside to honor those of us who write with our left … Continue reading →

Each morning, the sun is taking longer and longer to escape over the trees and roof lines to the east. It’s another somber reminder that summer is subsiding. Yet, the golden burst of light that is now shining at 7:30 … Continue reading →

It’s Saturday morning, and I finally have some energy and less achiness. Wednesday morning, I trimmed and mowed my grass, and by Thursday night, after returning from downtown, I was feeling the price from Thursday morning‘s activity. Friday, I only … Continue reading →

What does one do when he misses THREE buses within a half block? Well, you drop by Neon Movies and grab a popcorn to go and head to the concert at Levitt Pavilion. And upon learning it was a “to-go” … Continue reading →

It’s an ordinary Saturday morning. The sun is out with a slight overcast or haze, and there’s a strong enough wind to offset the humidity and 81 degrees. It’s an ordinary day. I do not feel sad and I guess … Continue reading →

DAILY ART QUOTE! “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Henry David Thoreau Artist Daniel Garber painted landscapes en plein air, direct from nature itself.

I’ve been listening, half watching a delightful documentary about the typewriter, which is streaming on Pluto History Channel. Of the several authors interviewed, David McCullough was featured, describing how he wrote every bit of his published work on his favorite … Continue reading →

Sunday afternoon and evening lessons were fantastic, and I met the two new voice students. They will be an excellent fit. 2 AM, the rain showers began, and maintained a steady dance tapping on the deck outside my bedroom. I … Continue reading →

Dreary and damp are the two best words to describe this uneventful, gloomy morning. It rained steadily throughout a large portion of the night, but it ceased by the time I woke at 6:15 AM. Due to mowing the yard, … Continue reading →

Rain. Lots and lots of rain throughout Monday. Within fourteen hours, my backyard, which was presentable, looks way overgrown and untidy. The rain did reduce the humidity and allowed cooler breezes to move across the valley and this made for … Continue reading →

The day dragged. I’d check the clock, thinking it would be closer to a certain time and it would be two hours off. The rain and gloomy sky did not help as it it seemed to weigh down the day … Continue reading →

The sun has had a losing battle with the clouds, but it’s a remarkably comfortable day for early August. The muggy breeze doesn’t hesitate in its path to keep the trees dancing, the wind chimes singing, and the humidity less … Continue reading →

Beautiful! The summer “feels” are plentiful and I am loving my time working from the deck. The FabFive is having a superb day, too, and Chief has been enjoying some slightly measured chase time with Col. Deeds, as well as … Continue reading →
