I'm posting this today, since tomorrow is officially Mother's Day in my little corner of the world, and while we don't have any plans, I figure I'll spend the day away from social media anyway. Here are eighteen photos, chosen rather randomly, of some of the mothers in my life, as well as the little... Continue Reading →
Small step in front of the camera, big step out of my comfort zone
Back in December, when I first started to really get Steemin' along, I decided to share a series of posts I'd written for my WordPress blog (much to the delight of Steemit's cuddly kitty bot), detailing my breast cancer scare saga that began in July 2017. I then posted a breakdown of my body’s breakdown,... Continue Reading →
Full Pink Moon, April 28th and April 29th
As I mentioned yesterday, this full moon kinda snuck up on me. However, the weather didn't - I knew the weekend was going to be mostly cloudy and rainy, so I took a ton of pictures Saturday night, just in case La Luna was hiding after she turned officially full Sunday night. However, Mother Nature... Continue Reading →
Is that really… could it be… BLUE SKY in New Hampshire!
Yes, yes it is! However, just so I didn't get TOO excited about the weather, Mother Nature was kind enough to keep things cool outside - like, 37F/3C with some nice ~~frellin' arctic blasts of wind~~ breezes while I was taking these shots. Still - there's absotively posolutely no snow or sleet anywhere in sight,... Continue Reading →
Spring Sunday Sleet Shower
I wrote this post on Sunday (April 15th) for my Steemit blog, but as I mentioned that very same day here, my website was up to some shenanigans, and I couldn't get the photos to upload. I'm not sure if I have all the bugs de-bugged, but I was able to get this post put... Continue Reading →
The Full Blue Moon Sky Show
Mother Nature has been a bit fickle lately, so even though the weather report (at least the one I saw) called for clear skies Saturday night, I decided to play it safe and grab some shots of the Full Blue Moon on Friday night (technically, only 9 hours before it officially turned full). Good thing... Continue Reading →
Woody Woodpecker and friend stopped in for a visit
Saturday (the 24th), as I was diligently working on my @steemusa intro challenge post, something outside my window caught my eye. Needless to say, by the time I got outside with my camera and tripod, Woody had flown off to a different tree. However, since it was "nice" out (38F/3.3C), I decided to hang around...

Dress rehearsal for the Full Blue Moon show on the 31st
Last night, I was outside keeping hubby company as he got the coals ready (yes, it was around 40F/4C out, but that's no reason not to grill some chicken!). Okay, I was actually outside because I noticed the Waxing Gibbous moon rising behind the trees, and wanted to grab some shots, as practice for the... Continue Reading →
Grey gloomy morning, but the birds are still chirping!
First thing this morning (March 28th, 2018) I went out to start hubby's work truck, and groused for the billionth time that his windshield was covered in frost. I mean, come on already Mother Nature! Bad enough my internal thermometer is flipping out (thank you, menopause), but this winter-weather-in-spring is getting older than me (and... Continue Reading →
Mr Cooper’s Hawk stopped in to say, “hello!”
Around mid afternoon today, I was sitting on the living room couch, listening to the dulcet tones of our daughters getting Sandy barking at.... well, pretty much life. After a moment, I realized I was hearing another sound faintly in the background. I soon realized it was the screech of a hawk, so I grabbed... Continue Reading →
A few Goldfinches hanging around the house the other day
While parts of the Northeast did get hit pretty hard by that Four'easter, we were spared, for the most part, in the Seacoast NH area. The Goldfinches seemed particularly pleased with that development (as was I - LOL!), and they spent a great deal of time hanging around the Avian Eatery. I picked a dozen... Continue Reading →
The Waxing Moon and Aldebaran
Yesterday, the predicted Four’easter was a non-event. While enough snow fell early morning that we needed to brush off hubby's work truck, by the time the storm drifted away, even that inch or two was mostly melted. via GIPHY Needless to say, my enthusiasm for snow snaps is not what it used to be, so...
