Blustery, rainy, and chilly morning for us, so I was actually the first one up and about for a while. It was raining during our normal wake-up time so Keely noped out and decided to just keep sleeping! I'm so jealous. There was finally a break in the rain between...
It was just chilly enough that neither me or Keely wanted to roll out of bed before 6:00am for a walk in the dark...but we did, at least, we did by 6:30am. Dawn was peeking over the trees: The storm yesterday was very fierce (tornado warning! which most everyone...
Another chilly day here, with slightly lower humidity which is the best part. We're getting another big storm move through tomorrow, which is good as it is filling the water table back up. Lake Ella is not "full to the brim" but we're far out of drought territory now,...
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...
