Good Morning
11/1/25 8:00 Temperate but raining hard. We had a puddle form by the door last night. It has grown to a lake with a river running into it. Constant rain all night with no hope for it letting up today. The tipi won't draft and is filled with smoke. We had...
Good Morning
10/31/25 8:00 cool calm and beautiful . A lovely sunrise Halloween morning out on The Big Lava Bed after a beautiful moonlit night. Got a slow start this morning and had breakfast for lunch. ...
Good Morning
10/30/25 6:30 34F (1C) Calm, dark, cold. The moon, waxing into the third quarter has long since set, leaving only the stars to challenge the darkness. The thermometer shows 34f, but everything is coated with a thin, bumpy layer of ice. It is the first...
Good Morning
10/29/25 7:00 40F (4.4C) Clearing skies with a slight, cool breeze. The deck is littered with wet leaves, slick from last night's rain. Walter is conversing with the neighborhood dogs. It is good to be home. ...
Good Morning
10/28/25 6:30 42F (5.5C) Cloudy, calm, dark. Amy is sleeping. The nieghbors rose earlier, rattling the pipes with their morning shower. Outside it looks about the same as yesterday: dry, still dark, some traffic and a few people walking. A bicycle went by...

Good Morning
10/26/25 7:00 41F (5C) The wind and rain have stopped for the moment, replaced by a light breeze and the soft tapping rattle of water falling from the trees onto leaves already covering the ground. The approaching light has chased away all but the brightest...
Good Morning
10/25/25 5:00 40F (4.4C) Another dark morning. Cloudy with an occasional star shining through the breaks. Yesterday's rain did not amount to much. This morning the deck is dry. ...
Good Morning
10/24/25 7:00 44F (6.6C) Cloudy with rain forecast in the afternoon. My arms no longer hurt from the vaccinations I got Monday. That took a little longer than I expected, but not too bad. Flu, covid, and pneumonia. Still need the second shingles shot. Getting...
Good Morning
10/23/25 6:30 45F (7.2C) Clear, cool, dry, and calm. A bird is chittering. Walter Dawg is napping on the deck with one eye open. Amy is up, probably sitting in her easy chair playing solitaire on the laptop. My tea is exactly the right...
