Sad Thought : We need our Internet too much.

So the Router died, and things went crazy for a few days.

We now have a new router and life is back in order. Sad to say.

Pampered Pet

Front row seat ( literally ) to Warmth. This cat really knows where the good life is at.

And the decorating commences.

I had ordered our Annual Christmas Tree Ornament, and off we went into the initial stages of decorating the tree, the fireplace and some odd bits here and there.

Happy Thanksgiving 2025

 

The Annual Cranberry Relish Prep Party

Vaccines and Satellites.

We went off to HEB to get our latest Covid Shots, 

and on the way home, saw something in the sky that could very well have been the Starlink Satellite Train!

Crocheting a Patch

I only know like, ONE stitch.

But it can be quite useful when you are trying to patch a blanket.

Never underestimate the ONE stitch.

Very Red Crepe Myrtle Leaves

Golden Leaves

It IS November, after all.

Geomagnetic Storms Galore

We caught some Aurora way down here in Texas from some massive Solar Flare Activity...

The Outdoor Cats have found a New Scratching Post.

We have a couple of Pumpkins outside by the steps, and they have been victims to the outdoor cats. 

Silver Streak

I suppose the moon had to be at a certain angle and whatnot, but what it did to the vapor trail was just eerily pretty.

Scratch Art

It is hard to find time sometimes, just to do some leisurely hobby-ish things.  So, I decided to get some Scratch Art pieces from Amazon just for the heck of it.  I guess it lets me relax and resurrect my creative side in a lazy way. I don't have to come up with the art, I just have to scratch it into existence.

Happy Halloween 2025

We had Candy Corn Waffles, Batty Pot Pie, and some breakfast sausage that looked like Darth Vader.

The Annual Carving of the Jack O Lantern Pumpkin

Brigadoon Revisited

Every time this type of fogginess happens, I HAVE to bring up Brigadoon. It was one of our dad's favorite movies - he loved musicals and dancing.  I guess that's where I got my love for the old musicals as well. I remember wishing I could somehow manifest Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire to be my dance instructors, imparting all their grace and strength and nimbleness to me.

The Monarch's Journey

I caught a Monarch Butterfly on its migration, catching some rest and/or food at our place.

Pretty.

The Solitary Fig

Yeah, one measly fig was all we had to harvest. Between the heat and the grasshoppers, nothing much happened, fruit-wise.

We can't help but be proud of the solo little one that hanged on.
