Seems as if half the internet is still sleeping. I click on one of my bookmarks and I get the little ball moving back and forth in its tag but it doesn't load. And every time I try to get on the 'Lot, my 'bank' keeps going down...

Before Horse asks again, no, I did not make the payout this time around either. Ever since we've had those interrupting ads imposed on us, I haven't made much $$ at all. Part of it I suppose is that I'm not much interested in...

I'm currently rereading Silverberg's Book of Skulls. At least, I think I'm rereading it, as it's from my own private library, but none of it seems familiar, not even the fact that each chapter is written in the first...

As I was sitting outside, reading, I caught a movement ahead on the grass. It was a bunny! I told it to go ahead and have all the clover it wanted but leave my garden alone. It nibbled a few clover blossoms, then hopped off to the...

Well, not the bus but the recycling truck. Luckily, the fellow saw me coming out the door and took the bin from my hands. I didn't have to go down the stairs, which is getting more and more difficult for me to do. They're nice...

Well, there's no old man here, snoring or otherwise, but it is raining (if not quite pouring). So, I won't be doing any gadening this morning, but at least it's good for the...

For several days now, there's been light fog overnight and early morning that burns off by about 9, 10 am. Now, I could be remembering things all wrong, but doesn't this foggyness usually...

Yahoo Weather has been threatening rain all week but it's been quite nice so far. I was working on my front gardens today and got one small section sorted out and then started edging on the other side but only managed about a foot...

When I went out about noon today to do more garden work, the temp was 19°C/67°F but felt balmier. There was even some sunshine. But those nasty clouds came by, and the temp dropped to 11°C/52°F. I was getting quite chilled, so...

Yup, some of the stuff I was thinking about doing the other day. I cut the grass, did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed. Didn't do the dishes, though. And now I'm going to clean the tub and take a bath, then off to read...

Happy International Jazz Day!
Did I just hear someone say "I don't like jazz"? Sure you do, you just don't know it. It's not all screeching soprano sax solos. Jazz comes in all flavors. Many TV shows and movies use jazz....

And 16°C/60°F this Sunday morning and I thought I'd do some gardening after breakfast. Or get to hang out the laundry for the first time this year.
Unfortunately, a big ol' cloud covered the entire sky and it got dark. Seems to be...

Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day was first held on April 22, 1970. That makes it 54 years old. And what have we really got to show for it?
Climate change.
It's 4°C/40°F at 8:52 but supposed to get up to 13°C/55°F. The sun is out, so...

Well, I finally had my brain sliced and diced yesterday... In other words, I had an MRI of my head. My doctor should get the results in a week, and I'll let you know how many squirrels are running around in there.
And as I said,...

This is what came up in the garden plot where I had tomatoes growing last year. They're pretty, and delicate looking, but I don't know how or from where they came. The weirdest things just pop up in my gardens.

It was very overcast all day yesterday, then the moon got in the way of the sun (what little shone through), it got dark for a couple minutes, then pitch black for another minute, gradually lightening up before we were back to the...

Today, April 8, 2024, there was a total eclipse of the sun. Unfortunately, it was overcast all day. So there wasn't really anything to see. I popped my head outside just after 3 and caught a glimpse of the edge of the sun just...

Today's weather was supposed to be cloudy with possible rain but good ol' Sol fought his way out and it was quite a pleasant afternoon. I did a bit more yard clean up and sat in the sun drinking tea and reading for a bit. The...

Something like that spent sweeping up my patio. It's not as easy as one would think when there's a rapidly deteriroating woven plastic "carpet" on said patio. Then factor in the fierce winds that blew leaves under it all autumn. I...
