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… Continue reading Doodads — 12/26/19

OctPoWriMo2019 Day 14 — Mother Earth
Patient kin Stand tall until We see we are them And they are us. Gaia Spirals finite, infinite loops Recycled bits, when planted at Death, their roots take for life Even our ashes give new life Mother trees watch their Children, patient kin Love stands tall Until we dare To see.

Coloring Club Plus (minus coloring) 10/12/19
Yesterday afternoon, I was unexpectedly called away to help out friends and then ended up spending the night out of town. Got back home around 11 a.m. this morning. Mlady was peering around the corner at the end of the hall to make sure it was me. Her fur was all puffed out when she… Continue reading Coloring Club Plus (minus coloring) 10/12/19
Doodads — Cherry Point Labyrinth/Mandala
https://youtu.be/weM2umnTEUY This is going to be a long post, with lots of pictures and videos of the labyrinth/mandala I visited yesterday. I call it labyrinth/mandala because it does not meet the criteria of labyrinth that I know of, which is one-way-in-one-way-out, but it does look like a lot of mandalas I have colored. It doesn't… Continue reading Doodads — Cherry Point Labyrinth/Mandala

It's time I did another update on the yard. Remember when I was complaining that all of the Asiatic lily variety pack were the same (beautiful) shade of pink? Well those ones were the early birds and have come and gone. Right now some of all of the rest are open, and oh my goodness… Continue reading Friday Evening Doodads — yard update

Monday Doodads — more yard pics
Don't think I'm ungrateful. These giant beautiful lily blossoms are to be enjoyed and appreciated. They are so fragrant! I saw a hummingbird moth at them for at least a few minutes yesterday. What is troubling is that this was supposed to be a 20-bulb VARIETY pack, with each variety chosen by color and name. … Continue reading Monday Doodads — more yard pics

Thursday Doodads — Flora & Fauna out back
An abrupt early afternoon thunderstorm blew through here and then it was back to hot and muggy. Not nearly enough rain came down. It's staying in the air. I did get a chance to walk out back today and check on things. Mostly good, some things of concern. Some pictures and videos. Hope you enjoy… Continue reading Thursday Doodads — Flora & Fauna out back
