Words and Pictures of Today

When I go to bed at night, and before actually going to sleep, my mind works very hard and I just cannot stop it. The wondrous thing is that ideas for a blog come and the actual writing of each thought is imagined and very clear. There are sentences and words in full descriptive forms. Does this make sense to you? Well anyway, to give you an idea of what I'm trying to convey here is that the thoughts and words that come as I drift off to La La Land, never ever come back as good as they are when they are expressed to me at that time. I never remember those words the next morning. They came and then disappeared. I simply cannot pull them up again and use them at all. 

Now for daytime thoughts and words - nothing very exciting, but here I go....

First of all I'm OK. Getting used to being alone and not lonely. It certainly is different, and thought-inspiring at the same time. A lot of the paperwork is done, the private memorial service is in two days, and my lifestyle is undergoing some change. 

For the first time I picked up the camera as the ferns around the flowerbeds in front of the porch gave me inspiration as did the tiger lilies that a neighbor planted by the dam spillway several years ago.

Hopefully my eyesight will remain good, even though my ambulatory skills are diminishing rapidly. I was always told that change is challenge. Yes it is!

The Sun is Out and it is COLD

Again, I'm looking out through the windows of the cabin and the views are fine as I'm warm indoors! Note that the temperature was 0° at 7AM.

Rideabout Yesterday

It still is a bit early to see many blooms except daffodils and dandelions around my area. This was only a short ride. It was good to breathe fresh air, though. Today it is much cooler and sprinkling as I write.

 One more thing... When I rinsed out my new fermentation crock I saw this greeting on the bottom! I knew it was special!

Every Day is a Treasure

The sun is shining and the colors of autumn are the best they’re going to get this year around this area.  We took a short ride, covering several very rural back roads after dropping off a large bag of donated hunting clothing in a neighboring town.  We were unfamiliar with this countryside but not with the beautiful views that I was able to capture. Getting a little lost was fun. We had enough gasoline and were on an adventure of the good sort!

Mesmerized by Shapes and Sights

Yesterday was a day to go outdoors. I get energized when the weather is becoming seasonally correct and it is now REALLY SPRING! and....this is MY country.


"This Is My Country" is an American patriotic folk song composed in 1940. 
The lyrics are by Don Raye.


So, off on a quest for photo opportunities. Surprise!
 I found some! Well....many.













First, I spotted the curvy stone wall down the road...












Then sculptures of metal...









I never saw one bird or squirrel or any other critter!
Came home tired but happy.
