This is going to be short. We have early errands to handle. The car has to go to the shop & hopefully they can fix it. There'll be shopping & other pickups as well.
Today is Groundhog Day & Candlemas. Hopefully Spring won't be delayed. This cold weather is rough on me. Yet, I'm still seeing tufts of green grass & the bugs are probably doing just fine.
That's all I've got this morning, take care.

The oddest thing in the yard lately has been a groundhog. It roams the yard eating the clover & other plants. It's sort of cute in a fat, squirrelish way.
I got a surprise this morning. It was so small & quick, I barely saw it. But for a few seconds a tiny hummingbird flitted near the crepe myrtle in the back. Judging by its size & lack of distinctive color, it was either a small female or juvenile. I used to see a lot of hummers. Last year I only saw a few. The way things are going, this may be my only little hummer of the season. I hope not.
Summer's rolling along. So far it hasn't been too hot. It's stayed very hazy in the mornings. That's not god for waking or seeing.
I need my hummers, dragons, porch cats & other little creatures. I saw a lizard on the back screen. Those lizards & the geckos could be back soon. These little beings give me something to focus on, a distraction. They help me not fixate on the crap going on around us. They let me stay in the moment, the now & somewhat sane.
Well that's it for the 6th of July. Take care.

This is it for June 2025. I can't say it was a great month. The weather hasn't been pleasant & we lost another cat. No, this wasn't a fun time.
I wish I could say something more positive about this month but I don't have the words for that. It wasn't the worst month, but there are so many ways it could've been better. Maybe that just doesn't happen anymore.
The back crepe has finally started blooming, the side crepe looks to soon. I haven't seen any dragons or hummers. We do have what appears to be a resident groundhog. I see it in the mornings & evenings. We don't have a garden, so there's nothing for it to hurt. They're cute in a pudgy, squirrel kind of way.
That's all, goodbye June.

It's bright this morning & it's supposed to get into the 70s today & possibly throughout the week. The back to seasonal temps. February can't be trusted, it's generally a rough month. If you trust the groundhog's forecast, he saw his shadow. That predicts more Winter. I guess we'll see.
The 1st weekend of the month is winding down. Tomorrow we'll get to the business of the month. Other than that, there isn't much planned for us.
Take care.

It's Groundhog day. It's a little hazy, so who knows which way things will go. It's too early in the year not to expect some cool downs again. Still, if we stay above freezing & don't have to use the heaters a lot, I'd be a lot happier.
I'm ready for open windows, more sunlight, chirping birds & little flowers. I wasn't meant to do the cold weather crap. I prefer shorts & bare feet to layers of stuff trying to keep warm. In a a little over a month, we'll have Spring, Easter & most importantly the time change. Winter can go back in the closet for a while.
That's it for now, take care.

Not much going on here as the month winds down. We've had warmer weather & it's been nice. A groundhog crossed our yard yesterday. It's odd to see a woodchuck in real life & not just pics. We've handled the monthly stuff & already started on next month's. I have a rescheduled appointment on the 1st. Unless something comes up, shopping is our biggie for the rest of the month.
Take care.

It's Groundhog Day, AKA Imbolc & Candlemas. They're predictors of Spring. It doesn't look good this morning. The forecast calls for the next couple of days to be warmer. Then, a week of some of the coldest temps we've had this year.
Oh well, we're not even quite halfway through Winter. It's supposed to cold. I just don't like it. So bundle up, it could get nasty for some.
Take care.
