Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Spring is firmly established here in Connecticut. Most blooming things are beyond their peak. Late blooming things are near their peak. We’ve had days above 70°f (21°c) and the days are nice and long. On the other hand, within the past 10 days, we had snow and hail. We have also had some very cold... Continue Reading →
Last week was a bit of a blogging blur. I posted six days in a row. That’s unusual for me. I have to tell you; I don’t like it. After four consecutive days, writing starts to seem like work. It’s a good thing the sixth post brought me to the bar so I could have... Continue Reading →
Spring seems like it has arrived. Either that or March wants to make nice before going out like a lion. As the temperature climbed to 64°f (18°c) I’m getting ready to start working on the projects that were put off until spring, the ones that are normally scheduled for spring and the ones that winter...

My one-liner (the sign) was taken during a different winter and would normally be an appropriate warning at this time of year.

The last few years, it hasn’t really felt like spring around here until late May. One sure sign of spring, however, is the presence... Continue Reading →
I’m sure by now most of my regular readers know that my weekend routine includes a walk with Maddie. You’re also aware that I take as many photos as the dog will allow. What you may not know is that I like to imagine the conversations the birds and squirrels might be having. If that... Continue Reading →
I always wonder if there’s a limit to how many blog posts you’re allowed to squeeze out of one experience. I guess if it’s a major life-changing experience, all penalties would be waived, but if you try to write for the 4th time about going apple picking, you might raise a few eyebrows. Unless you...

This is Maddie talking, and this post is mine. The topic Linda put out there for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is not going to go the way he thought. “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “yard.” Use it any way you’d like. You can even add letters to it to make a... Continue Reading →
