The Pelicans Have Landed
We live on the pelican migration route. For the last few weeks the people in our community have been asking each other “Are the pelicans here yet?” There had been sightings on larger areas of the lake but none had been spotted here — until this past weekend. Bob and I spent about an hourContinue reading “The Pelicans Have Landed”

Celebrating Small Things: The Sneeze that Scared the Geese
Recently while Bob and I were on our morning walk around the lake, I exploded with a sharp, high pitched sneeze. I immediately heard a splash and looked around to make sure a fisherman had not been startled and fallen in the lake. My next thought was, that must have been a big fish thatContinue reading “Celebrating Small Things: The Sneeze that Scared the Geese”

Pouring through lots of information hoping to make better use of our time when we go to visit in the fall.

Celebrating the Small Things: Grocery Shopping at 4 AM
One of the good things about being retired is having more control over our schedule. So if we want to go to the large 24 hour bag your own grocery store at 4AM, why not? This is not my regular store, but they have a few things I can’t find anywhere else. During the day, theContinue reading “Celebrating the Small Things: Grocery Shopping at 4 AM”

Celebrating the Small Things: Spring Flowers, Finally!
We finally have flowers on our patio. I decided we just wouldn’t have flowers this year because extremely strange weather conditions made the availability of annuals late. There have been other years I have decided not plant flowers, like the years when residents above us kept dropping cigarette butts and sometimes lit cigarettes on ourContinue reading “Celebrating the Small Things: Spring Flowers, Finally!”
