Hi Sallie, I hope the log at the bow of your boat is not your anchor? Only kidding. The fires all over the country is just horrible. Hope you and Bill are having a great time and look forward to seeing you when you return. As usual the weather is hot and humid here. Not as much rain as I was expecting. Stay safe. Jude

RED SKY AT MORNING
FOR SKYWATCH FRIDAY From last week, a beautiful early morning at the Lake. On this particular day, the sun showed all its glory early and then faded. Less than an hour later, the red had faded and the sky looked like this. And it got grayer as the day progressed. The old saying goes...
I love it. Great shots. Judy

Having fun while taking part in SIGNS SIGNS. Visit or add your own. "Out in the Country Past the City LImit Sign..." the country boys on the radio used to sing.** Where we stay when we're visiting Oregon, we do them one better. We're parked in the country past the "Road Ends" sign. The ...

BUTTERCUPS ON A BUSH
FOR MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY. When we're staying at Fern Ridge Shores, Jeans Road is the "default" daily walk. I never get tired of it. Between the wetlands and Lake on one side of the road and more wetlands and a few country homes on the other, there's something new to see every day. On...

FOR WORLD BIRD WEDNESDAY. On our son and daughter-in-law's patio (taken through a window -- not the best lighting, but still too good to miss!). We're easy guests to entertain! Just put a robin's nest outside the dining room window. All four of us are having a wonderful time watching the b...

Shared with the blogging community at THAT'S MY WORLD. Sunday June 5. We're living our full time life on the road again this week, right now in Hot Springs Arkansas. We spent a week in this lovely area in Fall 2008. One of the highlights of that visit was visiting bathhouse ...
Love the pictures, especially the last one. The morning sunrise and the stillness of the water. Just a few more days and I will be on the road. Will be back up north June 1. I already have my list of what I need to do around the house. Be safe and looking forward to next season. Judy

Hi Sallie, the books sound very interesting. I will have to add the author to my summer reading. With working full time I just don't have the time during the week and by the weekend I'm trying to catch up on other stuff. Since I am a Kindle person I will check them out on Amazon and download the first in the series. Hope you are enjoying this great weather we are having. Jude

PECULIAR CRIMES -- bookish post for February (oops)
Running a little late on my personal reading goal of trying to write about what I'm reading at least once a month. I've fallen in love with a new (to me) mystery series. It is the Peculiar Crimes Unit series by Christopher Fowler. The series is set in London and features Bryant and May,...
Hi Sallie, Great pictures. I see what you mean about our pictures being about the same. I hope you were able to see what was in the nest. I'm not sure if there are eggs in there or not. Time will tell. Have a great weekend. My girlfriend, neighbor and I are off to St. Petersburg today to eat lunch at the Columbian Restaurant. Chat later, Jude

READING ABOUT WEATHER AND MURDER ON MY KINDLE
It was wonderful having my new Kindle on our plane trip last week. Imagine being able to carry nine books in one small purse! (We had a lot of time to read -- there was a five-hour weather-caused delay at one point!) I even love the KIndle's electronic BookPlates -- a revolving series of sc...
