As we gear up for Daylight Saving Time next Sunday: Let's forget about it beginning and ending on a Sunday morning. There are plenty of people who work through the weekend so it isn't a period for adjustment for those workers. And, the "saving" purpose is to make more use of human work, don't...

Freezing under a clear sky. No wind ... Isn't that nearly Full Moon pretty?!

A sunny day and the first to hit 50°f (10° C) since before Christmas. Yes, it feels like April. Just to celebrate, here is a short little song by JJ Cale. Grasshopper — how appropriate for gardening anticipation :D! I'm very happy that J J received significant recognition for his work during...

I thought of you, Dahlia ;). “Morel Compass!” I miss my morel harvests. So easy, once I found the right locations. Stand off to one side, crouch to lower viewing angle, look for forest debris a little lifted, carefully search under that — bingo! Steve

Have you tried a blend of avocados and artichokes? I thought that was so good when DW & DD brought some home a few years ago. Then, I tried to find some on my infrequent grocery shopping ventures. Nope, so I came away with artichoke dip – a little bland. DW likes avocados and brings home...

A predicted 50⁰f (10⁰C) may happen this afternoon. Outdoors isn't likely to feel like that since there is so dang much wind. It will be the first time that the thermometer has hit that mark since just before Christmas, during that rainy week. A very mild Winter and it has been easy getting...

I had a couple of busy days. Yesterday, there was quite a bit of unloading and moving things into the house –– sufficient for 30 minutes of exercise for an olde guy. Finally, I am back to the full business of walking and arm exercises. It went just fine :). Here's something that provided a...

Oh, I have an idea for Sundays, Marie! I'll share it so that we may all consider it as Daylight Saving Time rolls around. Ernie Kovacs, eh? I haven't thought of him in years, maybe decades. Quite the joker ... and there he is with his cigar. Rather like Groucho ... Steve

Windy today. The temperature is right at freezing but 25mph gusts are making it a wind chill of much colder. Good thing it is gusts and breeze is a steady 10mph but it brings a "feels like" of 24⁰f (-4⁰C). Google news aggregater headlines a "western" state agricultural drought problem which...

Hernia Spinal? Because of past health issues, they didn't want to do it for me and nerve damage could not be repaired. Abdominal? Simple and almost not "invasive." I had some trouble standing up that afternoon and the next day but that was all beyond a real need not to do the damage again. A...

Snowdrops Galanthus I should take a walk where I know that they show up on creek-side here. Imagine that at 2,000 feet higher elevation than your Salish Sea and hundreds of miles through the mountains and Columbia Basin and more mountains, I am wondering about flowering snowdrops here! Steve

Almost time for my coffee and 2nd breakfast :). Between laundry loads and after my egg (over easy) on hash browns for a 1st breakfast — I did some reading of Theodore Roosevelt quotes. Took a pleasant online look at his ranch an current park in N Dakota, near the Montana border. An...

Life's road. Some folks imagine that it is straight, horizon to horizon. Then, they choose to cross the hills. Instead of maintaining the direction their compass points, they meander along. Successful or not, they seek out excuses. Do they question the original notion of a straight path? Do...
