For being the last day of October, we shouldn't have anything to complain about regarding our weather because once the sun was high enough, our temps turned most pleasant. It still appears we're going to be having some more of it this week, so be sure to enjoy it.My first chore of the day, was to go out to Jiffy Lube and have them check the oil … continue reading

A Hidden Patch Of Wild Strawberries

We've been staying above overnight freezes, which is just fine by me because I still have outside work to get done before the cold arrives. I did have be at office a little earlier than normal, and only because I had a small gift to give someone before she had to be to work. When I visited with her yesterday, she questioned me several times about t … continue reading

Fabricated Blame Game

I was delighted to find another frost-less morning when heading to work, and after looking at the weather channel, it sounds like we're gonna have some un-seasonably warm days this coming week, although we are definitely in need of more rain because our trees and shrubs need to have enough ground moisture to survive the coming winter.With the e … continue reading

The Fomenting Of Social Discord

We had another frost-less night which in turn offered us afternoon temps reaching up in the the sixties. Since I didn't hit the hay until much later than normal last night, I ended up running behind this morning because I'd overslept. With daylight savings time starting on Sunday morning, there'll be my semi-annual adjustment to a time change. I re … continue reading

Every Language In Our World

It didn't freeze last night, but it was still chilly enough to where I didn't linger outdoors any longer than necessary today. Yes, our tree branches are growing all the more naked by the day until there'll soon be a time where none remain except for the red oaks which like to hang on as long as possible, and most times it takes all winter for them … continue reading

Circling Our Skies Above

I was up and out earlier than normal this morning, and only because I needed to get some things done at office before the hour of eight. When I pulled out of my garage, I noticed we got a heavier frost than what was forecasted. There were many rooftops and cars coated with it, and whenever someone drove past me, I could tell if their vehicle sat ou … continue reading

Very Simple-Meaning Beliefs

I'm sure everyone was glad to have the rain last night, but because it created more humidity, that damp air this morning made if feel colder than it actually was. At least our farmers have the bulk of their fields harvested, and it looks like we're going to have a relatively pleasant remainder of the week.Most of my morning was spent orchestrat … continue reading

224 W. Spring Street Re-visited

I couldn't believe how warm it was outdoors this morning, but unfortunately once it started raining, it wasn't so pleasant. With yesterday's wind and today's rain, one can now definitely see the tree leaves beginning to pile up on the ground and curbsides. Whether we like it or not, the endless dark and cold days will soon be upon us.My morning … continue reading

A Monarch From The Dark Side

Another pleasant early morning took place where I was able to get to office and head to my quiet contemplative corner without any distractions. Over-all, it was a good session to where I was able to focus on those whom I'd included in my mental list of intentions. It must be getting better each Sunday because I've been having all the fewer temporal … continue reading

Twisted River Farm

I was on a burn to get my real estate chores and phone calls made early this morning, just so I would have time for that extended project I've been working on for a number of free weekend days. I did make sure to place a courtesy call to a colleague of mine, just to share some curious events which happened since we last spoke. I could tell she was … continue reading
