If my night's sleep night before last was a 10, last night was a 5.2. One would think as you age you'd require -- and get -- more sleep. That's not the case for me... the older I get the less I sleep. (And the more sleep I want.) I could make my own ambient noise app...
Seeing more birds flocking to the feeder near the front door of the barndo, I'm considering adding another feeder that I can see from my desk in the office/family room. The feeder addition presents 2 specific challenges... If I can see birds on the feeder, that means...
I haven't shared a sunset here in a short minute, and the one that blanketed the sky last night on the outskirts of the Ville was spectacular! Check it out... While I wish I could share great stuff that happened yesterday, the simple truth is NOTHING happened. It was...
I posted yesterday about birds first appearing at the feeder and shared a quick shot with my iPhone of a female Cardinal there for the grub. Today, I grabbed my Canon camera to see if I could nab a few more. Still rushed and through the storm door's glass... The...
During the brittle cold days we had in the Ville a couple weeks ago, I hung a bird feeder filled with tasty seeds. The frozen ground didn't offer much insofar as food to forage for the warm-blooded vertebrates. First photo of a visiting bird. I didn't see a bird...
When I let the puppies out this morning I flipped on the outside light. The fog is so dense I could see the mist floating around the brightness. It's even foggier this morning than it looks in the photo below: I am isolated here at the barndo. Crazy when you look out...
At not quite 5:30 PM it was not yet getting dark, but there wasn't any sunlight. Rain throughout the day, the once cloudy skies had turned into pea soup. The barndo was enveloped in thick fog hanging close to the ground and visibility was poor. Within 15 minutes of...
It was the wee hours of the morning when the puppies went out for their last time before bed. It had already started to snow. By the time I got up, I'm guessing we had about 3" of the white stuff. Enough to cover the ground, the road in front of the barndo, and make...
The barndo grows some smart ants. I don't know where they come from, but I only have them in the winter. That's odd, I think. I thought those little suckers were only around in the summertime and cold weather would freeze them out. I guess not. What I do know is they...
