Thursday, or Thereabouts - November 28, 2019



As a typical November spreads her blustery lament across the landscape, the Black Friday bombardment reaches fever pitch, and wild turkeys plot revenge,  it's a good day for mugs of Chai, warm thoughts, and flights of fancy.


It's a good day to head to the beach!


Enjoy!








Breathe...

Thursday, or Thereabouts - November 14, 2019

Someone's been doing a little assertiveness training over the warm months!


Old Man Winter showed up November 1st and has been overwhelming us with his distinctive personality ever since.


On sunny days, the artistry is sparkling with beauty. 


Other days I've awoken to a breathtaking -21°C (-6°F).


Still, the wildlife seems to be coping...




...and learning to share space and food.


Best of all, the resident beast is especially pleased and content to just chill out.


I'm thinking I'd better just get used to this seasonal yet early visitor. Still, I would like to make a small request of the pushy old gent. Please back off enough to allow me to get the outdoor Christmas decorations up and out, BEFORE December 1st. It really is no fun jamming anchoring stakes into frozen ground with frozen fingers! Just a wee bit of a warm-up will do for just a few days. In the meantime, while you're pondering my humble request, I'll enjoy life inside my version of a snowglobe.
