This week has a whole bunch of Saturdays, including today which was unexpected. At noon yesterday they announced we had enough work done that we could have today off. Of course if we want to be...
Survey - with transitions/brick buildings
THE BEGINNING Where were you born? Many of you know, Iowa. Do you still live there? - I do. I'm writing this on my mother's kitchen table. Where would you want to live, ideally? - - A y...
Sunrise, sunset...
The day began with color in the sky. I saw a stripe of green out the kitchen window but when I got outside it was no longer there - or maybe the camera was incapable of capturing it. Here's...
Words later...
My new obsession...
........ is homemade iced lattes. Leftover coffee, ice and a generous splash of milk. I like to have the coffee at room temperature but sometimes I use hot coffee and more ice. Sometimes I put...
Taste...
Taste is nothing but the enlarged capacity for receiving pleasure from works of the imagination. A man named William Hazlett said that.
The skid loader and the t-shirt - edit -
I'm wearing my Melissa Etheridge t-shirt. I found it the other day at the bottom of the s-shirt barrel. I was wearing it in the famous Super C picture and I intended to have Jim take a picture...
Bridge over untroubled water...
The Mississippi is a grand river. The Mississippi is running very full right now but it's pretty much still within its banks. This is a grand bridge too. It was built by private subscripti...
The more things change the more they stay the same...
I found this on the back page of an old notebook. It was titled 100 Goals and dated 7-16-91. I got as far as 14. weigh less than 140 lbs. (ha ha ha I suppose I weight somewhere around 180 rig...
Here and now...
My quote here is -= Perfect is the enemy of good. I don't know who said it.... Well now I do sort of. It was Voltaire. Here's what wiki says. Sometimes I love what wiki says. And this is...

Fenway Park
Younger son sent these pics via email last night. He's on a company perk trip to the fabled home of Ted Williams and Dom DiMaggio. Nothing like a lucky and hard won college education (and twe...
The parking lot....
It's warm and humid and there are a lot of bugs. Summer. Early morning bird song. Everything is green and growing. We've had some needed rain. And the bad storms have avoided us. I feel...
Not Hemingway.... expanded a bit
He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced, or seemed to face, the whole external world for an inst...
Why I love Hemingway...
... when I do. Here's an example: *We rode downhill, uphill and around hill. By this time there was only Gigi, my youngest boy, who rides a horse as though his mother had dropped him into the...
Today is....
I had planned to write here last night - something like On the Eve of my 68th Birthday - but I didn't. Why I feel the need or desire for that matter to write about my birthday this year is a m...
More green stuff....
The ITC. And corn. And Gracie in the corn. And just for the heck of it, an old red tractor. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thought crossed my mind today. Maybe not wa...
Just a begonia....
... a new one though. Its name is Million Kisses Elegance. Pink sunrise. Bird song. Morning. Gracie on the step leading down from the deck. Good day, everyone.
Extra time.
It's Monday morning and somehow I seem to have a little extra time. Now if I only had something to say. I'm taking the Ice Cream Truck - the mint colored ex-Forest Service Chevy 3/4 ton pick...
Hosta la vista...
The machine shed hostas are at a good stage right now. Corn in rows behind them. I bought a new hosta this year - it's in the lower left corner of the pic below. It's a hosta of the year...
The Amandas plus
There are three Amandas at work. The two I know are in their early twenties. I asked one if she knew the Waylon Jennings song and she said she was named for it. Then she quoted me the lyrics -...
Very quick...
The new writing box - the one I'm seeing right now is very minimal. Kind of like Scandinavian furniture. OK that's fine for now. I'm sure it will change again pretty soon. I haven't been writ...
Another blog.....
Take a look at this. I love it. http://hipparis.com/2014/02/28/lamour-parisien-10-signs-i-live-with-a-frenchman/ Men who like me are always telling me they can't have me. Silly in a way. B...
Cat story - no photos
I don't think you can be any more slutty than a cat. The black one has been fucking her brother repeatedly under the table and elsewhere and now she's backing up with her back arched and her tai...
