Making It To The Other Side, by Rich Paschall Most generations seem to believe that the music of their youth was the best. Perhaps it is because we associate music with important times in our lives, that is dances, proms,… Read More ›

WITH AN “L” AT THE END
CMMC – July – Letter “L” at the end of the word All ending with an “L”
WOODPECKERS ON THEIR TREE
I’ve been redoing some of these pictures using a tighter crop to show more bird and less tree. So if you’ve seen some of these before, yes, you have, but not this version.
A MOST PHOTOGENIC SQUIRREL AND PREGNANT, TOO
Every once in a while I get a bird or a squirrel who acts as if it’s a photo session and he or she is the model. This little soon-to-be mommy Red Squirrel definitely gave me her “best side.” She… Read More ›
DAILY DILLY-DALLY IN BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Made by Humans Talk about a lot of choices! Almost too many. Most of the things in my life that aren’t living were human-wrought. I’m particularly fond of the porta-potty and the little airplane. I’m not sure they should count… Read More ›
NOT A VAST WASTELAND
Fandango’s Provocative Question #175 I don’t watch quite as much TV as Garry, but he’s a serious movie buff. Probably 80% of what he watches are movies, many of them westerns. He loves them. He always has. He can give you… Read More ›
DAYLILIES
FOTD – July 27 – Daylilies Remembering back to when we had rain, we had lilies. Their blooming time was cut short by the complete absence of rain since the first week in May. I don’t think we’ll lose them. They… Read More ›
THE DUKE GOES TO THE VET AND ANOTHER YEAR BEGINS
Once a year, you just gotta do it, but the Duke doesn’t care for the vet. I have to admit this up front: the Duke is a wimp. You do anything to him he doesn’t like? He screams like he… Read More ›
PRIMARY COLORS
CMMC July Primary Colors Birds and flowers. I included yellow. It may not be an official primary color, but I think it’s primary. Is there anything bluer than a Bluebird? Or redder than rose? The blue of the water, the green… Read More ›
GOLDFINCHES AND A CARDINAL
Worrying as I am about the continuing drought, I ordered more seed. I hope I can at least see our little local flock through this beautiful yet frightening summer. Beautiful because the sun is always shining, yet scary because it… Read More ›
WORLD SHARING AT JULY’S END
SHARE YOUR WORLD 7-26-2022 I’ve been feeling so guilty about all the creatures that need water and food and realizing there’s only so much I can do. It was supposed to rain today and as usual, it was gray, humid, and… Read More ›
MOURNING DOVES
We’ve had a lot of baby doves on the deck this past week. It’s interesting watching the baby birds. Many of them, like doves and Goldfinch, look like exact miniatures of their parents. A few, like Cardinals, have unlovely offspring…. Read More ›
WHAT A DREAM!
I had a dream last night — a real dream — from which I woke up not even sure where I was until I turned on the light and could see shapes. Out loud I said: “Wow, that was some… Read More ›
OH NO! A FLY!
In the course of the giant toilet paper crisis of 2020, we put hose-style bidets on all three of our toilets. I thought of it as a way to survive sans TP until people got a grip on life (again),… Read More ›
YELLOW BEGONIAS
FOTD – July 25 – Yellow Begonias It’s a dry, burned out world out there. Hot, sunny. Double up on the hot and triple time the sunny. At least we have the flowers on the deck and of these, the yellow… Read More ›
ONE LITTLE RED SQUIRREL
The latest baby squirrels are up and about and eating like there’s no tomorrow. Of course with everything dry and burnt, there isn’t much to eat. Normally, there would be more than enough food, but with no rain, everything is… Read More ›
