Good Evening
8/23/26 9:00 64F (17.7C) AQI 48 This evening is slightly hazy with the scent of wood smoke, but the moon is waxing gibbous and the stars are shining bright. We just got back from six days at the coast and I couldn't resist a soak before bed. I watched a star go...
Good Morning
8/20/26 7:00 54F (12.2C) Blue sky alternating with fog blown about by a light breeze blowing from the NW. A single drip has soaked a spot just above my pillow. I got up at 5:00 to use the head, about 1/8 mile walk in the blackness through heavy swirling mist....

Good Morning
11/2/26 6:45 30F (-1C) AQI 53 Blue sky, mostly clear, with the waning crescent moon hanging mid transit above the birches. Frost decorates the ground. I wish I'd thought to throw a sheet over all those green tomatoes last night. I still need to unload the...
