Poems & Other Lies
Good Morning
8/7/25 6:15 59f (15c) No wind on the ground but there is a fast westerly overhead. It looks like it rained more last night. There is enough blue sky to offer promise, with enough clouds to hold some threat in reserve. The sun popped over the ridge at 7:00....
Good Morning
8/6/25 7:00 60f (15.5c) Grey and wet. The parched ground will soak up this rain. So will the raw wood on my deck. So much for painting this morning. ...
Good Morning
8/5/25 5:45 56 (13.3) Red sky in morning? Mostly clear, no wind. I'm still sick. I was up late binge watching Alone Australia. So far, season 3 is an improvement. I think I will go back to bed. 10:30 73f...
Good Morning
8/4/25 6:00 60f (15.5c) The corner of morning I can see from here is tranquil and very pretty. The sky is blue with a few tufts of clouds. The birds converse in a subdued chatter. I watched a squirrel traverse the back boundary, leaping from tree to tree until...
Good Morning
8/3/25 5:45 57f (13.9c) Clear blue sky with tendrils and random wisps of clouds, shining white from the still hidden sun. I was reaching to turn off the pumps so I could listen to the quiet when I knocked my tea into the tub. I had to get out, get a new mug...
Good Morning
8/2/25 7:30 62 (16.6) Sunny, with clear sky and no wind. Aside from the occasional passing car it is a quiet morning. Walter is resentful I put him inside, but he did have thirty minutes of running around and barking and that is enough for now. ...
Good Morning
8/1/25 8:00 Partly cloudy but brightly sunny. It is already 70f (21c). Another late morning. Still suffering from a cold. Bending over to sand the deck drains all the snot to my head. Perhaps I will try working on the wall or the railings today....
Good Morning
7/31/25 7:45 62f (16.6c) Grey overcast. We got some sprinkles yesterday and it is starting to rain now. ...
Good Morning
7/30/25 6:30 67f (19.4c) Clear skies and a light breeze. An industrial hum fills the morning; orchard sprayers and trucks are busy all over the place. I am soaking in the tub, sipping my tea, listening to the day get underway. ...
Good Evening
7/29/25 9:00 79f (26.1c) No wind. Mike, Walter and I took a short walk this evening. The smoke from the wildfires tinted the sky at sunset.
