I love being up in the middle of the night. I love being up working at the desk, I love being up working on my creative projects, but I especially love being outside in the midnight hours. There is very little road traffic within hearing range, and my particular neighborhood has no street lights, so […]
Saturday, April 11, 2009. Well, I had an awesome time yesterday. I goofed off more than I planned to, but that’s a good thing since I don’t plan too much goof off time. My pal Joy brought me over a container grow box she made for my birthday. Her yard is a maze of gardens […]
WELCOME TO THE DECEMBER 2020 HORIZONS. Ok, by now you’ve read the December Horizons already but in case you didn’t, the December issue is now online and here are the horoscopes. The big news in my life (I mean besides having the west woods I’ve known for 37 years completely removed in June for new […]
Since I work alone the past 27 years, I hafta be the one who motivates myself. I developed a 3 step system that works for me. 1. At end of each work day, I make a To Do List for the next day. On the left, I write everything I have to do that day. […]
Earlier I was walking toward the west woods circle I call the firepit area. In the dark I miscalculated a twist or turn and found my path blocked by the giant arbicola bush. I knew my path had to be just a few feet from where I stood. I backed out and stood waiting on […]

84f degrees but only 68% humidity so it feels nice out there, a light breeze, no mosquitoes. I cut some of the giant pothos that’s hanging down around the west woods path to the fire pit, otherwise it turns into a wall that blocks the breeze. You can see a few strands of it to […]
It’s been a long, hot, muggy (ie, typical!) summer. Finally last night the temp dropped below 75f and my world changed. I can go outside! I can start again doing all the outside things I love to do, hiking, biking, just walking outside or sitting at the firepit, camping in the woods, cooking outdoors. The […]
A Facebook friend posted asking if one person is blessed does that mean another is cursed, example if a disaster hits one house and leaves the one next door intact. I don’t think one has to do with the other and I think what we experience is as a result of our vibrational resonance. Who […]
I just took the giant pruners out to the west woods to try cutting palmetto fronds away from the one above where I think yellow jacket nest is. Sure enough I cut the fronds away and there is a hole in the ground at the base of the one palmetto trunk. It is less than […]
