Just popping in to say that I am enjoying the company, the left-over crickets and the pleasure of what I have dubbed "the 10 cent moon." We have the "quarter" moon, right? And the full one here looks like a dime--so there you go. The 10 cent moon.... read entire post
Just for something different--and a blast from the past---we ended up going to a classic drive-in theater the other night. Relatives of ours had just (wisely) gone to a fancy-smancy restaurant for their anniversary, then met us at the half-way point to... read entire post

Just sitting outside and being attuned to the early night, and what did I hear?
The sound of something I am almost sure I wrote about last year.....the sound of geese flying over. Of course, I deleted some of my posts awhile back, but don't ... read entire post
What a night!
Saw my first double rainbow just before dark.
Went out tonight and saw a cloud formation that looked like a monster eating the sky.
Then saw an upside-down moon that made me remember that the moon chang... read entire post
It is one of those nights here in the northeast with several storm cells passing through. I keep thinking I should shut down, but am waiting until the last minute--fool that I am. I guess we should be grateful here for the rain. I got an email from a... read entire post
If I mess up, will go back and try again. But head's up!

Tags: my corner, raining, sky watching, Wake up call
I really need to go to bed and try to sleep, but here I am playing catch-up on SC. I start my new job in earnest in the morning---and I am wide awake! I think I am already missing my late nights here and being able to sleep in, but I suppose those days... read entire post
Ever heard of this?
Me, neither until I read "The Broken Window" by Jeffrey Deaver.
It's all about being watched.
I thought it was all hogwash.
But then I spent a few days looking up jobs on the internet... read entire post

Don't know if this will work, but has anyone else seen this? When I saw it it had about 1900 views, and now it it up to like 187,000 or more. If it doesn't post, I saw it on Yahoo videos off the home page of the new feature of videos by the entertainme... read entire post
Up too late as always.
But what do I see when I step outside?
Low fog, barren trees lit by orange street lights...
A tall, lone pine tree....
Our "weather" box hanging on the deck wall....

I have been here and there, and all over.
I have lived in some good and bad places.
I don't mind it here so much most of the time, but there is one thing I am missing!
Where I live there are so many hill, mountains... read entire post
Predicted here for tomorrow...
Do not want.
Do not need.
Am looking forward to those days when we are here talking about budding leaves, fishing, sunburns, blue skies and sunshine...... read entire post

I am wishing it was warm out right now. I would be out for a long walk and beautiful night outside.
The wind is blowing those big old clouds around, the moon is backlighting them, and I am anxious for one of these nights under a star-fil, wa... read entire post

Didn't mean to "Create Post" this late, but here I am up this late.
This is the first time I have ever been up and out this late and heard just what I heard:
I listened a little longer just to be sure....
And I heard... read entire post
I promised I would look up and see the meteor shower, and I am going in and out until dark. But just wanted to add that I heard on the news that here in the northeast at certain times tonight, you could go out and see the Space Shuttle and the ISS. I g... read entire post
