I woke up today to sunny skies. When I put recyclable items in the bin outside it wasn’t even cold, somewhere in the 50’s. I ended up walking out back to check things out. More trees have fallen because of the extremely high water table. Looking up the clouds were moving fast. Looking down I…

Doodads — wow Friday the 13th???

So far so good! image link Viewing The first thing I wanted to talk about is the 2-hour documentary I watched last night, called, “Bob Dylan: 1966-1978: After the Crash.” The netflix blurb says: This documentary covers the so-called middle period of iconic musician Bob Dylan’s career….

It’s been in the 80’s all week, which means too hot to do much outside for most of the day. I just went and got the mail out of the box, deadheaded the hanging basket of petunias and verbenas the kids got me for my birthday — yes, I just had a birthday, yay —…
