ALMOST FROSTY SATURDAY MORNING!
Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2011 7:13 amGOOD MORNING ALL!
I made blueberry cobbler coffee this morning, with vanilla creamer, and it tastes so good on this COLD morning in the Adirondacks---38 degrees when I woke up!
I tried to view the supernova star in the pinwheel galaxy above the big dipper last night with my binoculars, but that moon was so bright and high up when I finally thought of trying to find it that it was hopeless. After going online to get directions in the sky for it, I realized it's no biggie anyway----just a teensy little star (distance-wise) that has been getting steadily brighter and brighter as it exploded some millions of years ago. Interesting, however, that humans can now realize such things that went on in our long-ago past, and that the light from them is just now reaching us. Too bad we can't view our own lifetimes with such clarity, from our births until now, by "tuning in" to something or other when we wish to! Perhaps some day our progeny will be able to do such a thing. I stayed out in the moonlight and relative warmth to enjoy my mountains and trees in the shadows of the bright sky. When the coyotes serenaded me, it made for a perfect night!
I need to make another batch of hummingbird food before I leave for my daughter's house this morning. When I let Molly out, a huge deer (doe) leaped into the air and ran away across my mowed field---it had been eating the fallen apples from my old apple tree. I love this place in the fall! I actually love this place in just about every season but the dead of winter when it gets too tedious to feed a fire, shovel snow, keep from freezing, dig out firewood at 30 below, and all that. I think I wouold still like it now that I am not working if I had someone to share the place with----that aloneness in the winter just isn't any fun any more.
I hope you all have a drier day than you've been having. I also hope I can get Mandy's WiFi in my trailer at her house---if not, I will be getting online later in the mornings to allow her to sleep before I go up to her house.
Annie, I sure do hope you get your rolling house fixed soon so you can hit the roads with confidence!
Off I go to haul my house-on-wheels to a new site.
