Well, now it is Summer …

… as of 6:07 a.m. today. I’m not sure whether to be ecstatic about Summer’s arrival because it seems that our two heat waves, first at Memorial Day, then this past Sunday and Monday, already placed us in quasi-Summer mode … Continue reading

Today is his day … or maybe I should say “hiss” day.

Well, I’m usually a Winter weenie, but I’ve never been a Spring-almost-on-the-cusp-of-Summer-weenie. I didn’t even poke my head outside the door today. It got to 95 degrees, with a heat index of 100 degrees.  It was already pretty steamy by … Continue reading

Too pooped to participate.

All this rain is a pain.

  I could write reams about all the rain we’ve endured the past two months.  We’ve had rain nearly every weekend since mid-April.  That’s not counting the weekdays – there’s been plenty of rain then as well!  Even our Memorial … Continue reading

A hole in one …

Tuesday Musings.

We’ve all heard the expression “the early bird catches the worm” and those are wise words to live by. Most of the time anyway. This morning I awoke at 3:00 a.m. to the pitter patter of rain on the patio … Continue reading

Tiptoe through the tombstones with me.

In Saturday’s post,  I wrote about my morning meanderings, which included stops at three different parks, as well as historic Oakwood Cemetery, the latter which I’m going to focus on today. I already had goosebumps from the chilly morning air … Continue reading
