It's been a hot and humid week around here, and it sapped my energy. Work did that, too. Overall, it's been a sleepy kind of week where I didn't get much reading done. Alas. Better luck this week, once the heat breaks! Before the heat arrived, Sunday ended up being a gorgeous day. I drove … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 06/09/2019

May Summary, June Preview
Like everyone else, I am wondering just how we arrived in June already. Seriously. Where does the time go? Why does it feel like it's passing so quickly? What I Finished Reading in May: City of Illusions (The Hainish Cycle #3) by Ursula K. Le Guin Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson … Continue reading May Summary, June Preview
Sunday Sum-Up, 05/19/2019
All week, the weather people kept predicting thunderstorms. We didn't get any thunderstorms until last night. Just random bouts of rain and two days of 90º+ weather. Our first taste of summer. I do not enjoy the summer. On the bright side, I had a lot of fun early in the week before the hot … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 05/19/2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 05/12/2019
Two weeks ago, I had an uneventful week. Last week was eventful. Sunday dawned sunny and quiet, but by mid-afternoon storm clouds were building. I went for a walk anyway, but that ended early when the lightning started. An hour or so later, the tornado sirens went off and the National Weather Service issued a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 05/12/2019
April Summary, May Preview
While the calendar is convinced that we're well into spring, the weather doesn't agree. It's snowing in the western part of the state, while here it has been cold and rainy since Monday. Sure, we had a row of beautiful days last week, but now its almost wintry out. I'd say that I can't wait … Continue reading April Summary, May Preview
Sunday Sum-Up, 04/28/2019
I live near a college campus. Except for the increased traffic during the school year, it's rather nice. It means there are plenty of green spaces that are safe and well-maintained. I often walk over there to photograph the flowers or watch the squirrels. After over a year of putting up with construction noise, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/28/2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019
I took a break from my normal Sunday Sum-Up routine last week. My computer was misbehaving, and I wasn't feeling particularly well. Nothing serious for either me or the computer, fortunately. I had a bit of a sore throat and a cough that for some reason reminded me of Jane Bennett but without the ability … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019
March Summary and April Preview
The first half of March was deepest, darkest winter, and while the second half was warmer, it was filled with nearby natural disasters that prompted water restrictions and prevented travel. I wanted to go to a nearby state park, but it was closed due to flooding. I wanted to go to a local park, … Continue reading March Summary and April Preview
Sunday Sum Up, 02/17/2019
It feels like it snowed all week when we really only had snow for three days out of seven. After an all-day snowfall on Friday, yesterday dawned bright and beautiful. The trees were laced with white and the sky was a perfect wintry blue. I had hoped to slip out to the park during my … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 02/17/2019
January Summary, February Preview
Farewell, January! I will miss you! Seriously, I will. I like January. It's a calm month after the madness of the holidays. Sure it's cold and snowy, but I don't mind that. It just gives me a good reason to stay inside and read or bake. Or get some good sleep with my cat snuggled … Continue reading January Summary, February Preview
