Spring Thinking – #JusJoJan Photo
Message Received – #1LinerWeds
It’s winter, and that means there might be a fire in the wood stove, so MiMi likes to hang out in the cradle at the top of the scratching post. She’s adorable, and I find it so hard to walk by without giving her a scritch and/or snapping her picture. Usually, that picture is taken... Continue Reading →
Christmas by Candlelight – 2019
I’ve written about this event more than once, but it remains one of the most enjoyable nights during the year, so I’m writing about it again. If you haven’t read, or don’t’ remember reading, Christmas by Candlelight is an annual event at Old Sturbridge Village (OSV), a living history museum which recreates life in New... Continue Reading →
Ready for Winter – #SoCS
It’s Saturday. Thanksgiving is behind us (in the US) and Rivalry Weekend (US College Football) is underway. So much to talk about, but we have another issue to deal with. In any case, we need to pay attention to Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt as we go: “Your Friday prompt for Stream... Continue Reading →
Keep My Visions to Myself – #SoCS
We are back at the bar, hoping to have some pleasant conversation, an adult beverage and maybe a bite to eat. While we’re at it, we’ll try to work around Linda G. Hill’s world-famous Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I wonder what Linda gave us this week: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday... Continue Reading →

In fairness to me, I have accomplished a lot, but things like painting and measuring and planning, don’t make for interesting stories. This week. Visible progress was made. I’ve got some pictures; I’ll share some details here... Continue Reading →
Commuting Success – #ThursdayDoors
As I mentioned last week, some of the doors I was able to photograph during my evening commute were visible only because the trees are bare. After responding to some comments about that side-benefit of winter, I realized two things: 1) despite the fact that I began this week behind a shovel, winter is coming... Continue Reading →
Good Song – Too Early – #1LinerWeds
I know I’ve shared the song at the end of this post before, but, as the title indicates, it’s a favorite of mine. Many years ago, my best friend introduced me to the Allman Brothers. What can I say, he was right. “Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing, It don't... Continue Reading →
The Ride Home – #ThursdayDoors
Almost four years ago, when I first joined the Thursday Doors crowd, I made the comment: “There aren’t many interesting doors on my daily commute.” It appears I was mistaken. In my defense, the circumstances were different. First, in 2015, about 90% of my commute was on an Interstate highway. That still holds for my... Continue Reading →
