Bright Spot In The Snow

holly — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 16:31:27 +0000

Lucy has been a bright spot in more places than just the snow lately. As anyone who has a doggie, or is around doggies, knows, they take you to a whole other place, whether you need it or not.

These were taken a few days ago when it was still a winter wonderland around here. Thanks [...]

Vintage Christmas Toy

holly — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 20:38:37 +0000

Just an inexpensive plastic Christmas toy, my dad bought this at either a Drug Fair or Peoples Drug in the early 60’s. Actually, he bought two, and he used to perch them atop my mom’s and my Christmas stockings. I think it’s kinda charming, but W says it gives him the creeps and reminds him [...]

Happy holidays, everyone!

Go to SkyWatch Friday and find skies from all over the world. While you’re there, why not leave a link to your own skies so all can enjoy?

Bleak Time

holly — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:36:46 +0000

This is not a post for those who are high on the holidays, though you may want to stick around if you need to come down a little.

Recently I’ve been revisited by what I call bleak time. It usually starts around 3 or 4 am, and runs an anxious course, ended either by a slow [...]

A Haiku Snow Job

holly — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 20:20:48 +0000

The snow scene made clear Our job is finally here— Spoil the white beauty But Lucy needs play And today is the best day For snow boots and fun The moving of snow Holy cow it is so slow A looong way to go Eyes plead how ’bout me? I’ve waited so long for snow When will you oblige? I am tasked the walk To make clear for [...]

Ms. Oak Leaf

A bit of beauty I found in the front yard yesterday when I was supposed to be shoveling, she seems to be embracing the sunshine or singing to the birds…or both.

Snowy Saturday

Nothin’ says “fun” like a Popsicle nose.

Downward Facing Lucy

The very Zen Lucy does her downward facing dog pose beneath the frond of a very unlikely Christmas tree—an eastern cedar, unearthed from an unsightly spot in the front yard.

SkyWatch Friday: A Break In The Clouds

holly — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:54:19 +0000

Yeah, another brooding photo today, folks. Actually, this was taken very near the end of the trip I mentioned yesterday. Eight hours of skies, from Northern Virginia to eastern Kentucky, were filled with a rolling boil of purplish-gray clouds, and despite the 425-mile-long blanket overhead, a bright spot welcomed me at the end of my [...]

Passing By Woodstock

holly — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:13:32 +0000

This was taken on the day Lucy and I left for our recent trip to eastern Kentucky and is in the vicinity of Woodstock, Virginia, off I-81, 90 miles outside Washington, D.C.

Holy Cow…An Award Of The Yogic Kind!

holly — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:35:02 +0000

This big ole “thank you” is way over moo, uh, due…

While I was recently out of town, I was floored, tickled pink, high as a kite, blown away and just overall beside myself (all emotions I exhibited in the local Wendy’s while taking advantage of their free wifi, mind [...]

For Daddy

holly — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:09:32 +0000

I made this for my dad…okay, truth be told, I made it for me…and for you, though I would give anything for him to be here to see and hear it for himself. Set to my all-time favorite song, Grateful Dead’s Box of Rain, it never occurred to me that the lyrics were, as Phil [...]
