Yeah, the moon looks pretty cool out there. One of the few times the clouds have not obscrued an atronomical event. No photos though, our cameras are not built for in the dark, far away photos. But Facebook has plenty.

I meant to post Friday but didn't. An unusual event happened. Someone dumped yet another dead animal at the cemetery. You can tell ( Read more... )

I probably wont offend anyone here, so it's safe to vent about the sacred. My FB feed has an image of a town fire department that got a girder from the wreckage of the World Trade Center. It's a warped, rusty I beam. It's going to become a memorial to 9/11 at the firehouse I guess. I thought this was pretty weird in and of itself. Somethign akin to ( Read more... )

The other day there was something stuck in the woods by the embankment. I assumed it was a plastic bag, that's what it looked like billowing in the breeze, hooked onto some scrub trees. I went up to grab it. Plastic bags in the trees are a pet peeve of mine, I hate them. Well, as it turned out it was not a bag, but a paper 'balloon', the kind you ( Read more... )

My neighbors down the street, who happen to be associated with the town fire dept. were burning brush last Saturday. It sounded like someone was shooting out back or lighting off firecrackers. As it turned out, they were burning some of the green bamboo (don't ask me why) that boarders their property.  They had a pile of it burning. THAT is what ( Read more... )

Also wanted to note that the day lily's are all blooming these last two weeks. And my hosta are now popping. How much earlier than normal is that I wonder? And the snowless winter here has brought fire and destruction to Colorado I see on the news. How sad. But I suppose it will clear out all the dead wood so that in the future 100' summers, there ( Read more... )

So the neighbors across the street who I like, have a dog. And they have friends with dogs. So the friends come by now and bring their dogs, and the dogs all go romping and playing in the side yard which is fenced in by a flimsy plastic fence, which has already suffered many broken slats. Then the neighbors come by with other dogs to play.. and ( Read more... )

Well, the boy, the hubs and the nephew all had a blast at Pax this weekend. They got their beta codes for Diablo 3, and t-shirts and all kinds of fun geeky stuff ( Read more... )

I thought I was done, but I was just looking at the picture now and thinking I wanted more rope hanging off the little boat. I may add some more to that. But this is basically it. I'm not totally thrilled with it, but its fun. I wish I knew more about boats but I don't. And I don't like the sun rise exactly, but whatever... A few more minor tweaks ( Read more... )

So I got a bag of the hardwood charcoal for my grill today. I've been using this Cowboy stuff for a few years now. It's always been basically wood remnants, perfect pieces of or blocks of wood from building projects. Well, I opened the bag this time and it's all tree wood. Pieces of branches and stuff, some with bark on them. Not at all the same as ( Read more... )

Because these didn't quite fit with my last title and subject ( Read more... )
