Fascinated by technology since the Trash 80 came out. A grand lover…of coffee. My patron saint is Grumpy Cat, I live alone by choice, and I read way too much fanfiction. Cursed to live during interesting times.

The better soul of the house, and probably the smartest too. Definitely the cutest. She’s what gets me out of bed in the mornings and makes my life far more joyous every day than I deserve. ♥

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...
10/27/2022 – Thursday, so dry
This is a photo taken from the (ancient, unusable) boat ramp on the west side of Lake Ella; usually, the water line is up at that darker edge of gravel. There are small sandbars appearing out in the lake itself, which I've rarely seen happen. Given that the whole pond...
10/20/2022 – Thursday, time for a flu shot!
Today's big chore was to get to Publix by 9:30 am for my flu shot. Since I'm uninsured, it cost me $57.00, which I can afford but I think is actually horrific. How many people who WILL catch the flu are avoiding this vaccine because of money!?!?!? How damaging is it...

It was 55°F out, so I did need my hoodie and half-gloves, even though I put off the walk until 8:00 am. It was absolutely gorgeous out, though, and Keely very much wanted to keep walking forever. In fact, after I ran a short local errand later, she bum-rushed the...

Mixed blessings on this morning's walk: it was only 58°F but it was also nearly 90% humidity, soooo...cool, but a touch clammy. :/ Took this shot at the corner of Duval and 7th, facing east (obviously). Just really liked the lighting and the trees. Went by the old...

Another muggy morning, but clear-skied for a while. We finally got a substantial downpour last night, but nowhere near enough. Hurricane Ian sucked up a lot of weather so we have not had a rainstorm in these parts since several days before Ian became an issue. It was...

What an incredibly mood and moist morning we are having! Yes it was that foggy. It was so foggy that instead of being rained on I was, instead, walking through water droplets as they formed and before they fell. Not quite misty, more like matrix. LOL! Keely was not...
