A wet blanket

Thursday, 16 July 2020 Stepping outside today felt like being wrapped in a wet blanket. That’s how humid it was. All day we were surrounded by dark, overcast skies. But no rain came. Neither did the thunderstorms. It looked promising for a while, but as per usual, the big blob on the radar veered away…

Red Sky Morning

Sunday, 5 July 2020 I was up late, sitting on the river bank, watching the moon, listening to the bull frogs and really soaking in the beautiful summer night. I had a realistic dream that it started raining and I jumped up and out of the tent to put the rain fly on. It was…

Monday, 23 November 2020 Happy birthday Uncle Joe! When I went to bed last night, the snow had already accumulated on the ground, giving the darkness a boost of light.

Sunday, 22 November 2020 I started my morning nice and early. Early enough, in fact, to witness a spectacular pink sky. It was a cold start to the day. I’m not sure what the temperature was but my fingers were hurting with the cold and started to go numb. Might be time to wear gloves…
