I was reminded this morning that REMC has more power outages than Duke Energy. I can't remember the power going out more than a handful of times while living in Seymour. Even then, no power was because of some huge snow or storm... it was always weather related. Power...

sunset minus the sun: #3 of 52
One sunset photo a week is my goal but I figure various stages might make it a bit more interesting. Right? I took the photo below directly before the sun fell to the horizon. CANON EOS 60D: f/3.5, ISO 100, 1/320 sec "Making it more interesting" sounds better than...
it’s a “pretend” bedroom
The 4th bedroom here in the barndo isn't REALLY a bedroom -- not in the standard sense anyway. Sure, there's room for a bed... but barely. What it has is a loft bedroom for little people with a closet and a smaller area at the bottom. Colette thinks it's grand. It's...
first snow of the season
Not much of a snow but snow just the same. While others close by shared photos on Facebook of snow covering their yards, there wasn't any left by the time I rolled out of bed this morning. It's like Mother Nature poked us in the arm here in the Ville letting us know...
even in the sun 45° is cold
We may get one more week of warm temperatures before winter sets in, but today isn't one of the warm ones. I won't be wearing shorts when I hit the garage today for staining trim -- and I won't be spending time here basking in the sunshine... It's sunny and bright...
Sunset: 2 of 52
I might not capture a sunset every week over the course of one year but I did this week. Not quite 50°F this morning it feels like fall. I've yet to master these split unit things so I thought it was still August from the bedroom this morning. This week it looks like...
i may be fat and old, but i’m a homeowner again
Closing happened this morning after all. YIPPEE! I had my doubts. I don't know what kind of deal the seller's struck with good ole' Dad, but whatever it was it worked. Papers signed and filed -- the purchase is in the history books. Whew! I read an article today, "3...
one sunset a week
I think I'll commit to sharing one sunset photo every week. Fifty-two sky photos from the same (or about the same) spot over the next year. Of course, I'm picking sunset photos over sunrise ones because I'm a night owl. Choosing sunrise would feel more like a job and...
a week of treading water
Here it is Friday again and I don't feel like I've made a whole lot of headway at our new place. Matter of fact, I've barely kept my head above water. I've just been treading as fast as I can while staying in pretty much the same place. Still, it's worth it!! I can...
