It is absolutely SHOCKING to me that Thanksgiving is THIS week and we're already moving into the winter holidays season. WTF, 2022? What happened? This also means it's been almost nine months since I quit FSU, and despite my financial situation still be precarious, I...
COLD! I am COLD! It was in the mid-40s Fahrenheit during our walk this morning, which heavily-furred Keely loved joyfully! I at least bundled up in several layers of tee-shirts (this is Florida, after all) and survived. Meanwhile, as the temps edges up to 60°F...
It wasn't quite as cold as I was expecting this morning, just below 60°F, but it was misty and...I guess the word is "blustery"! So I bundled up and Keely pranced around excitedly and we were out for our walk before 7:00 am. Which is to say, this photo is from a...
Cold weather snuck in like a thief in the night, so it was only about 55°F when we went out for our walk a little bit before 7:00 am. Keely enjoyed it a lot, so we went the long way down to 3rd and then up Duval to Publix before circling back home. I listened to a...
It is a gray and blustery morning as we wait for the remains of Hurricane Nicole to pass us by. While we desperately need the rain, I would like to note for the record that our preferences are for regularly recurring low-grade thunderstorms, not high-intensity...
I have set the alarms back with the clock, since otherwise going out to walk at 7:30 am (as we have been doing) puts us in the crosshairs of the bright morning daystar. So today we got out around 6:45 am, when dawn was just starting to blush. Lake Ella's water table...
A slow morning, but that's okay, it was only 63°F out and humidity is only around 50%! How lovely is that???? I took this picture yesterday morning, but I do love the way the light was hitting the clouds: In other news the drought continues, and more sand bars keep...
It's...NOVEMBER? Somehow I think part of my brain will forever be stuck in the 18+ months that were March, 2020... Last night was Halloween and as usual I was home, alone, with no candy. It's my favorite holiday not because I do anything with it but because I just...
Woke up early so it was still dark when we headed out just after 7:00 am, which I LOVE. I adore the long nights and short days. I'm such a winter girl at heart! There is a bit of a cloud layer in the area which started yesterday and is making the morning very gray...
