I bought him cheap because he was missing an ear. Yes, another of Paula’s foundlings. And he fits right in with my menagerie of the broken & cracked. He doesn’t have a name … maybe he’ll be Gustavus … one of my ancestors regal sounding names. TIME STAMP: post began @ 7:30AM EST – I’m down to the last days and it’s chaos. Books, cloths, … Continue reading How Do You Pack A Giraffe?
In the four years, I have spent here, I have come to recognize that there is more to this lake than meets the eye. For instance, the depth is deceiving, as in one area it goes as far as 150 feet. In those environs swim Large-mouth Bass of advanced age and other secrets I’m sure. It is here on Mothers Day in 2011 that I … Continue reading Magic is Alive at the Lake
The scheduled departure date has been postponed until further notice. Just wonderful. This whole moving thing may just do me in. Frustrating to be so reliant on other people. Can’t book the movers till I know when my sister can come get Irish and I. Tim’s family need to get in here as well and start their renovations. It’s become a juggling act, and I … Continue reading Departure Delays and My Mental Health
Good grief, make it stop. Today I fear will be just as the R of T&R forecasted … we are in for a wallop of snow. It’s Grey County in all its glory. T&R are the earth angels who live down the street. They are my lifesaving chauffeur into the bright & booming village to buy my supplies. They have truly been wonderful since Tim … Continue reading Fiddle-dee-dee & Snowflakes
I have a cornucopia of photographs taking up an inordinate amount of space. I have stuff from various adventures over the years and I might as well DO SOMETHING with them. I mean, if they are going to occupy 1/3 of my 1TB hard drive they may as well be useful. HOMEBODY ADVENTURES One can expect to find an array of locations, primarily in Southwestern … Continue reading Homebody Adventures | Tall Ships
Today is the 4 month anniversary of my first post October 26, 2012. Three months ago I reformatted and moved that first post into the page THE PROLOGUE. That was a direct response to the reality of what this blog had become for me. The prologue was a sort of eulogy I wrote to give to the Anglican priest who was performing the service at … Continue reading I’m Four Months Old
I remember the first time I heard this jazzy version of this old Joni Mitchell song on CBC Radio 2 (back in those Helium Spheres). I had a vague memory of childhood and of hearing it on the radio when I was growing up. Now I am in the midst of another ending, and still – I’ve looked at life from both sides now From … Continue reading Merry Maudlin Monday w/Joni Mitchell
Fresh snow covers the land like a pure white duvet. The spruce and cedars are laden with their heavy globs of snow. It’s Family Day tomorrow, so it’s a long weekend and those with cottages have made the trip up to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery. Across the road I can smell a campfire, as I stand at the window with my cylinder … Continue reading Hungarians & Irish Hugs
Love this guy. Saw him in concert a few years ago at Massey Hall. He is a storyteller and always has a rather unique way of looking at things. John Prine – It’s A Big Old Goofy World :lol: Continue reading Merry Maudlin Monday w/John Prine
The pinky coral on my toenails is almost completely worn off from my Pedi in September. It’s now just on my big toes, with a dab or so here and there. It was from our getaway to Walter’s Falls. This photo was taken that September 17th…it held up well. And lets just clarify that this is THE BEST my feet have ever looked, and that … Continue reading Pink Coral Toenails
Woke up this morn to lots and lots of snow. I don’t believe it has stopped the entire day. It just keeps snowing and snowing and just won’t let up. This was the deck this morning just before 10AM EST Irish had no interest in being outside this morning. After I took this shot I kicked her out. I don’t get it, I mean it’s … Continue reading Under a Tangerine Sky
Over the last month I have been researching the Golden Spiral and the mathematical formula based on that spiral, named after it’s founder; Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (c. 1170 – c. 1250)[1] also known as Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci, or, most commonly, simply Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician, considered by some “the most talented western mathematician of the Middle Ages.”[2] Fibanacci … Continue reading The Fibonacci Way
Yes …. THE RAT PACK. I am a HUGE fan of Frank, Dean & Sammy. On my top 10 is Frank Sinatra LIVE AT THE SANDS album. When something is from that era it’s an album. The monologue from that album is hilarious. It was a toss between that clip (11.50 mins) or this one, so I went for brevity. OH…BTW, yes that guy on … Continue reading Merry Maudlin Monday w/The Rat Pack
