This past weekend I went on one of my all time favorite hikes so far. The hike took us over 3 hours start to finish. Mind you most of that time we had taken shelter underneath an over hung rock that keep the rain at bay for just long enough. We tried to play cards […]

During the hours of this day I wander widely. I note with intense interest all the small events around me – a single cardinal flower still blooming in a wet declivity by the pond; dark bumblebees sleeping afield in Mulberry Meadow in this time of the breaking up of colonies; slender ash leaves revolving and […]

The special was a 1/2 order of Flounder for just $7.50! For my side items I went with mashed potatoes, cooked apples, & hushpuppies. Last week after Thai I decided that this week we needed some down home seafood & having never eaten at this off road delight we decided to give it a go. […]

Edison (1847 – 1931)*UPDATE: If I were to post a blog yesterday it would have been completely different from what you are seeing right now. I thought it best […]
