I have a rebounder that I bought a while back and has been hiding under my bed. In an attempt to strengthen my joints with as low-impact exercises as I can manage, I pulled it out of storage! I set it up at the entrance to my bedroom so I can't ignore it, and do short...
My friend Kim and I were howling at our phones last night when we saw the date. 2023???? The shock was visceral. And now we're well past the middle mark of January, and I'm thinking that time does not fly, it dissipates. It was a dank and moody morning – foggy and...
A rather beautiful but balmy day for winter, I suppose! Temps were about 65°F, and humidity at a very common 95%. I waited until 7:00 am to get us out the door for a walk, and even then neither Keely nor I were very awake. Drowsy weather all 'round, I think. But...
The big white fish is back! I assume it went somewhere, as Lake Ella is pretty small and very shallow, overall. During the drought I bet the pond was disconnected from other waterways (this is Florida; whether you see them or not, there are always connections to other...
This year is starting off warm and muggy but at least there is a lot of fog. Hmmmmm...well, actually, I love cloudy/foggy days, so I'm not upset about that. I know there are some heavy storms working their way across the country, and we'll be getting that later today...
Finally the clocked ticked over and we have escaped 2022! Which feels a lot like a mere continuation of escaping 2020, so I'm not making any collective prognostications for this year...anyway, Keely's not impressed: As most of you know, I decided to do a two-day...
But I can do something different. I’m going to do a spiritual and physical “retreat” starting tomorrow. I’m going to approach it like meditation retreats I’ve done in the past: restful, intentional, challenging.
Keely has been enjoying the cooler weather, but I'm glad we got a small upswing this morning — it was about 35°F, bright and sunny. I'm still holding her back until after 7:30 am so at least we do have some sunlight to offset the temperatures, but that's more for me...
Suddenly it seems like 2022 flew by, even if at times I thought it would never end. Which, come to think of it, has been the status quo since March of 2020 so I don't know why I expected different. For me, the wild part is realizing that at this time a year ago, I was...
