Day 8 of 30

Well, last night’s sleep was good. It seems I may have just needed to catch up.
So, I got a fast start on my day and have taken full advantage of my time.

Day 7 of 30

Though my sleeping meds were working quite well and I could have slept in, today started off with a rush.

butterflies abound at the Horticulture Gardens; I must make this [...]

Along the drive were very distinct “borders” where the topography changed dramatically. First, was a rugged mountain. Next, the road [...]

Day 5 of 30

The Red Wasp Film Festival was GREAT. The theme of the night was horror, so there were zombies everywhere.
Over the first few years of this festival, the filmmakers have gotten better and the films have gotten longer. While we all enjoyed so many of the films and even had a hard time voting for just [...]

Signs of Fall

The first sign of fall this year was the falling of leaves and acorns. So many acorns! I guess all the rain this year was good for those trees.
Today, for the first time, I heard geese and some other birds migrating. What a nice sound. I never cared much for fall until the last few [...]
