When you’re next at the deli counter….

Years ago, a then-boyfriend who worked at a radio station made me a mix recording. It was special/different because he had access to a mixer (oooohhhh fade ins and fade outs loooong before the likes of iTunes!!) and he included several comedian/comedienne shorts that the station had received for use during breaks and in between [...]

Signs of Spring 2

Today, I saw blossoms on some dogwood trees in Research Park.

Signs of Spring

Two days ago, when we were pruning limbs away from the cable (city/utilities won’t do it ’cause it’s not power lines; “SadderLink” cable won’t do it ’cause “they don’t cut trees.”), we noticed several trees with new buds and new leaves. That same day, I saw my first red wasp of the season.

Hero Howard

Several mornings each week, Emil and I stop at the convenience store near our house. We have gotten to know the staff fairly well, especially, Howard.
After fighting a cold with fever/chills for two days, this morning was my first adventure out of our home. While I wasn’t headed to work, I did want a real1 [...]

…and we both made our first visit ever to an [...]

Front and Present

So, I woke up at 3:30am….and couldn’t go back to sleep. ::sigh:: In addition, my being up got Indi all out of whack, so he wanted to go outside about every 30 minutes. At one of these trips (I think it was 4:30-5am), we were outside at the exact moment the front came through. We [...]

a fourth sign of fall

Land’s End and LL Bean catalogs arrive on the same day…..thick issues full of sweaters and mittens and things we rarely need down here in Texas.

Another Sign of Fall

Cotton blooming in large fields along the side of a Texas highway.

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 [...]
