Lunar Eclipse 2019
I have always enjoyed watching the night sky and relish the opportunity to see an eclipse. I wasn’t sure the weather would cooperate but the sky was mostly clear so I went outside to watch the event. I was joined by two cats who… Continue Reading “Lunar Eclipse 2019”

Hummingbirds in the Garden
After weeks of rain we finally woke to clear skies and sunshine and I headed out back to catch the sunrise in the garden. While thus loitering in my bathrobe a male Anna’s Hummingbird showed up ready for breakfast quite unafraid. Excited, I snapped… Continue Reading “Hummingbirds in the Garden”

Temperatures were in the 30’s today but skies were clear and blue so we bundled up and went for a walk at Seward Park.

Postcards from Charlotte
Just a quick hello from a few days spent in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful city – surprised because I’m from Seattle and never expect other cities to measure up. A bit snobby I know.… Continue Reading “Postcards from Charlotte”

A Tale of Turkey Day from Long Ago
When I was growing up my favorite part of Thanksgiving was not the turkey. Neither was it the dressing which is my favorite today but wasn’t then. What I remember most are the hors d’oeuvres and wine flips and the trip downtown for football.… Continue Reading “A Tale of Turkey Day from Long Ago”
