Good Morning
6/1/25 6:15 50f (10c) We slept in the tipi last night. In the backyard, like kids having a sleepover. The oak trees were creaking in the wind when we went to bed. It was 58f (14.4c). Now it...
Good Morning

Good Morning
5/30/25 6:30 47f (8.3c) Blue sky, faint breeze . Sun topped the ridge at 6:45. The rooster is crowing, birds are singing, an orchard crew is whooping and banging ladders in the rows down the road. I anticipate a lovely day. ...
Good Morning
5/29/25 5:30 57f (13.9c) Cloudy. The morning started dull, gray and broken up, but now the clouds have gone all Maxfield Parrish. What I thought were swallows chasing bugs turned out to be floaters, but still, it is a...
Good Morning
5/28/25 6:00 56f (11.6c) Clear, blue sky, no wind. Somewhere up Swyers Drive an orchard sprayer whines; distant enough I can't smell the poison, near enough to disturb the tranquility of the morning. I can't really complain about the noise. Walter Dawg has been...

Good Morning
5/25/25 9:30 56f (13.3c) Cloudy. We went to The Outlaw Concert in Ridgefield yesterday. The bands were all good. https://vimeo.com/1087564900?share=copy Bob Dylan stuck to songs which matched his range, a sign of his maturity as a...
Good Morning
5/24/25 6:00 44f (6.66c) Clear and calm. Orchard sprayers whine in the distance. The rooster, still confined in the henhouse, is complaining. My dog is having a spirited discussion with the dogs down the street. Birds are singing, the ubiquitous doves...
Good Morning
5/23/25 7:00 53f (11.7c) Cloudy but dry. I slept late, but no more: The dog is barking, birds are singing, and the rooster is crowing. Like it or not, the day has begun. But for the second day in a row, it has begun with the chickens safely corralled in the chicken...
