If I end up choosing not to go back to work in September, I worry what I'll do to stay busy in the winter months when it's too cold to go outside. Not sure why I'm worrying since I don't want to do much of anything smack dab in the middle of summer either. I wouldn't...
I haven't shared a sunset photo here for awhile, and tonight's sky view wasn't half bad. Nature's privacy fence doesn't let me even see the home of those pesky neighbors unless I'm on the top deck. But here's proof it's still there! I realize that view would look...
I have to admit, I'm getting used to this practice retirement gig and I'm loving it! At almost 10:30 AM on a work day, I'm still in my pj's drinking coffee. When you don't have to get up early, you can bake a persimmon pudding at close to midnight. (Recipe on...
No more starting my day with a cup of coffee behind a keyboard! Since it's summer and I'm practicing retirement, I can start my day hours later with my coffee on the deck. Breathing in the morning air is great and this is our second cool morning in a row. I'm not...

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...
