Upside-Down Sort of Day

Upside-Down Sort of Day

This day is starting upside-down, temperature-wise. But, that’s all right. Yesterday, the wind blew like a storm all day. Warm temperatures, cloudless sky with gales. I’m glad I took a picture of my beautiful golden maple because this morning a lot of those leaves are on the ground and the wind is still gusting. The temperature is […]

Christmas Is Coming, the Goose Is Getting Fat

Christmas Is Coming, the Goose Is Getting Fat

Christmas is indeed coming in about five weeks. Have you started your Christmas list? I’ve started, but I have a long way to go. If I had a goose, he’d probably be getting fat. We didn’t have geese when I was a child. Chickens, yes. Geese? No. To my way of thinking, books should be […]

Wednesday Ramblings

Wednesday Ramblings

Actually, the boys did a lot more shooting baskets than I did but, for an old lady, I wasn’t too bad. The best part was […]

Amazing Real-Life Mysteries

Amazing Real-Life Mysteries

Life has many mysteries as puzzling as fictional ones, happenings that have never been explained. These intrigue me. Amelia Earhart’s disappearance is one of those mysteries. Yesterday, I read a news story that might explain what happened to this daring pilot. And then again, it may not. In 1937, she was attempting to fly around the globe […]
