Continuing Spring

I saw a lilac bush flowering earlier this week - the first for this spring (for me:). I LOVE lilacs - I remember with fondness a big old lilac bush that grew right beside the backdoor of the science building... Continue reading

The redbud and dogwood trees are flowering here, now. So lovely! I caught this one in the act early this afternoon, on my way out of my orthopedist's office. They have a lovely lower level garden by the building. I... Continue reading

Oversleeping, Underproducing

Sleep experts think that sleeping too much is just as bad for you as sleeping too little (click on the kitty's picture and go read the article). :P I'm living proof of that - or else I'm turning into a... Continue reading

Remember I said I liked that multi-colored wall at Urban Plates? Here is an example closer to what I enjoy - something that shows the effects of age and time. I found this image by searching for 'wabi sabi' images.... Continue reading

This photo shows something like what the weather was here today. Intermittent clouds and sunshine, high 60's temps. I woke up blink at 9 a.m. this morning - sigh! Don't know why that doesn't happen every morning!? :) That gave... Continue reading

Commented Mar 27, 2019 on Two New Paintings...or a Diptych? at Balzer Designs

Modest Progress

Isn't this an interesting image of 'progress'? Notice that all the people depicted (besides the ideal itself) are male? Hmmm. If you click on the photo, you can go read the Wikipedia article. Myself, I have less lofty goals and... Continue reading

We've come to the shank end of winter here in eastern Maryland ... or the bare beginning of spring. Depends on your outlook. :) It has been nine days since I posted here ... which is generally not a good... Continue reading

We got more snow today ... not much accumulation but it was dreary and gray and precipitating most of the day. Luckily, I could stay inside in the warm and SEW. :) One of the fabrics I'm using has bicycles... Continue reading

I've been keeping that proverbial low profile for several days now with very mild improvements in my cold/flu/infection/whatever-I-have. :P Today has been a little better since I finally managed to sleep horizontally last night for the first time in a... Continue reading

Hack, Gag, Rattle

Yes, this completely represents what I feel like today. :P No, I'm not a smoker but my lungs sound like I've been on a pack-a-day for decades. :P Yesterday was a fun time. My friend Barbara and I went to... Continue reading

Our local winter wonderland has dissolved in a heavy series of raindrops - it rained continuously for hours last night until this afternoon (my back property line where the drainage easement runs looks like a river). Mostly gone. Sigh. I... Continue reading

I hope you can visualize the video above. It shows the pattern of impacts (real ones, deduced from the crater evidence on the Moon's surface) over time on the Moon's face. I find it fascinating. :) Today was a gray,... Continue reading
