WOOD
CFFC: Wood I’ve been planning to do this one for a couple of weeks, but it got lost in the pile of email. Today, I finally deleted enough and — tada — I found it!
IT’S STILL RAINING

A TUESDAY TREE PORTRAIT
MONDAY TUESDAY TREE PORTRAIT The heat was back this morning. I could feel it pouring in through the window in the bedroom. We got a week off for which I’m grateful. It was also obvious that it was a respite,… Read More ›
SOMEHOW, SPRING SPRANG – Marilyn Armstrong
SPRING CAME ANYWAY You might think that with the awful and cold weather we’ve had, that spring wouldn’t show up, but it did. Today was pretty nice. A big humid followed by pelting rain, high winds, and several tornados, but… Read More ›
PORTRAIT OF A RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER – Marilyn Armstrong
After the Blue Jay left, the Woodpecker hung around to enjoy a feed at the flat feeder. Woodpeckers aren’t picky and are just as happy eating from the hanging feeder. I think they get to eat faster on the flat… Read More ›
LINES IN THE WOODSHED – Garry Armstrong
The Lines in the Old Woodshed It’s coming down before the winter comes. Its roof is about ready to cave in. One big snow, and it will bring itself down. That would make a terrible mess, so it makes more… Read More ›
SPRING AND CACTUS FLOWERS – Marilyn Armstrong
Fresh forest leaves, a Chickadee, and cactus flowers – 05/12/19 Usually, I limit these posts to actual flowers, but it was such a glorious, lovely, warm, bright day and all the new leaves in the woods look like flowers. Even… Read More ›
IN THE AIR AS SPRING ARRIVES – Marilyn Armstrong
Someone wrote that the weather is perfect for being outside. “Not too hot, not too cold, and the bugs aren’t in full attack mode.” Or something like that. People who don’t live here don’t “get” our bugs. We don’t just… Read More ›
WALKS, TRAILS AND THE SIDEWALK – Marilyn Armstrong
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Walks, Trails, Sidewalks We have many paths. Some of our roads look more like paths. We are kind of rural and not overly tidy.
IMPOSE, THEN UNIMPOSE. MEANWHILE, GREED IS GOOD – Marilyn Armstrong
FOWC with Fandango — Impose WordPress was trying to impose Gutenberg on this site. Aside from it being full of bugs (which they are trying to fix, but they should have fixed them before releasing the application!), it’s an excessively complicated… Read More ›
ATTEAN WAY: MAINE, WILD AND WONDERFUL – Marilyn Armstrong
I live in New England and it is where I always wanted to live. I think I originally had a more northern destination in mind, but the requirements of work brought us originally to the Boston area and eventually, out… Read More ›

FOREST LIFE WHEN SPRING HAS COME – Marilyn Armstrong
OH FOREST PRIMEVAL I laughed when Ellin wrote that the weather is perfect for outside. “Not too hot, not too cold, and the bugs aren’t in full attack mode.” Or something to that effect. People who don’t live here don’t… Read More ›
WHAT IS THAT SOUND IN THE BASEMENT?
We were watching “Father Brown” on Netflix and in the back of my head, I was hearing a grinding sort of sound. I could not identify it, but it was coming from the basement. I could barely hear it …… Read More ›
UNDULATING IN THE UNDERBRUSH IN THE DANGEROUS WOODS
Doesn’t that sound like some bizarre parallel of life? There you are in your L.L. Bean boots, sprayed head-to-foot with anti-bug glop. You don’t know what’s worse — the big heavy boots with your jeans tucked into the tops, or… Read More ›
