A Room With A View!

It's a rainy day this morning, so the pic below is a bit gloomy, which is kinda appropriate to this post.

This is the view of my back yard, out the window over my kitchen sink. Perhaps, not the prettiest with neighboring houses in view but when you look beyond that it's special, special to me anyway.  I've been blessed with this view for 25 years and it never gets old. There's always a surprise waiting - deer and turkey and other wildlife passing through, wind storms and snow storms a buzz, mesmerizing stars at night and of course, the amazing sunrises and sunsets to name only a few.

...I am sure gonna miss that view; morning, noon and night, and all the surprises and wonders it offers -

Here's just one example that you just can't beat -

Soak It In!

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day, sunny and warm, and not a cloud in the sky!

This was my afternoon view, sitting in my front yard, taking a break from my chores -

I even have one new hydrangea bloom flowering, this late in the season.  This one plant was loaded with flowers this summer, as you can see the older ones still there.  That's one happy plant, which means I'm one happy homeowner -

I'm enjoying it while I can.

A Great Sunday!

What an incredible day yesterday was weather wise, absolutely perfect!  It was made even better with an 131 mile motorcycle ride with friends and a delicious lunch curbside!

The weather was SO nice that I capped the afternoon off with a 3.37 mile afternoon walk (disregard the "run" reference in the screen shot below), see my route below - 

Ended the day with fresh sheets on the bed, a couple loads of laundry done, a nice relaxing shower and a bowl of cereal while watching Goliath on Prime Video.

Front Yard Sitting

It's that time of the year again and the Adirondack chairs are in place -

Ms. Trixie and I doing a little front yard sitting after a long day.  Enjoying the warmth, the sun and taking it all in!

I Don't Get Sick Of This Sight!

Another awesome sunset off my back deck the other evening!

What a beautiful night too, sitting on my deck, enjoying the peace and quiet, as the crickets and fireflies were coming to life.

Lounging and Leisure

After running errands yesterday morning, the afternoon was spent lounging by the pool reading and relaxing, okay and napping too!

The pool and the water has never been so perfect and crystal clear!

If only there was a way to keep the darn insects out of the water!  About this time every year, flying ants are constantly in the water, UGH!  I prefer they get sucked  into the skimmer versus me skimming them out and setting them free but whatever.

Interestingly, the catbirds, bluebirds, wrens and sparrows are forever picking the insects off as they float on the water, but alas there are far too many for the birds to keep up with.

AH, Summertime!

If you're in the area, stop in for a cold brewsky!  We have an extra chair and plenty of cold beer.

I'm SO Stuffed!

BURP!

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was plentiful.

I'm still unable to button my trousers...
