Good Mourning Zenaida Macroura Marginella
We have a wide variety of birds in NoCo. The above photo is of the western Mourning or Turtle Dove (The title is their Latin subspecies name for the Western US). Pretty pigeons (Rock Dove). They make this whirring sound when they take off, which is similar to the sound that would come from a […]
Clouds Can Be Cool Cover
Everyone (all five of you) who reads these blogs knows I use the Three Witches as my homing beacon. Whenever I’m in the car heading home my eyes always seek out the three mountain tops. It’s a throw back to when I first arrived in the area and my GPS system was hinky. It’s gotten […]
Dr. Clarence Calls On Claire
Yesterday, Dr. Clarence Sitzman, DMV (Retired) came by Casa Claire to get Claire to give him her autograph to mount on his office wall. As an afterthought, he also figured he’d get me to sign three of The Claire Saga (hardcover) books he has purchased and read. Claire came right over to him, which showed […]
When The Heavens Align
I recently received an analysis of my astrological birth chart. It was one of those freebies that on-line Astrologists will provide in order to entice you into getting hooked on seeking their future retained guidance on a regular basis. I get it, they are giving you a taste for free. Like crack. Once I get […]
Productive Couple Of Days
Okay, so yesterday I was a man on a mission. I had three primary goals. The first was to get the heaters replaced in Claire’s Wee Laire (intentional sp.). The second was to finish the novel We Call Her Rose by Stefanie Barnfather and post my Amazon review, and the third was to place Stefanie’s […]
The Dungeon
When I get up each day it is still night time. I stop and take my first set of supplements in the main floor bathroom and then proceed to the lower floor which I like to call the Dungeon. I leave the light on the stairs so my dogs can follow me down once they […]
Loose Ends Weekend
My wife, Lisa, is away in Florida attending my nephew Tyler Sacca’s significant other’s baby shower. Tyler is having a boy – Grayson Tatum Sacca (cool name – they are Southern). Tyler’s mom, Lisa’s younger sister Michelle (lovely woman), passed over a year ago, and Lisa wanted to make sure that Michelle’s family is represented. […]
Wild Atlantic Soul – Harvest Super Moon
Theresa Daly was the first person I ever showed my first attempt at poetry – Ode To Murray Collins. She convinced me it was good enough to share with the family of the subject of the poem. It was my first inkling that I may be able to write. I showed it to TD because […]
Embrace The Strange
I mentioned the other day how some kind neighbor anonymously dropped off a bag of what I call Mandrake Carrots on my front porch while I was off galivanting with the mystical in Loveland on Sunday. Well, Claire and Honey had been sampling the fare throughout the week and yesterday I was down to this […]
BC Rises
Anyone that has followed my writing sojourn is fully familiar with my life long (at least 50+ of my life) frenemy, BC. BC is one of those geniuses that was around for 90% of the most interesting events in my life. There were many times when the shit was hitting the fan when he provided […]
