Sunday https://youtu.be/HtFCpENC1G0 It's an in-between kind of day... Not summer yet not fall either. A sleep-in kind of Sunday. I'm about to start cooking breakfast so this will just be a quick little muse. Gary Myers shared some music over on Redtree Times this morning that led me to the…
Thursday https://youtu.be/hmuP_AQcAdw Walking out on the back porch just after 6:00 a.m. this morning, the world was dark. The sky was clear. And Orion shown brightly directly overhead. The only sound was the roar of traffic on the bypass... When I stepped out for the second time, the sun was…

Friday https://youtu.be/fEsSix79zyk After I wake up my granddaughter at 6:00 a.m. I usually step out onto the dark back porch to get a feel for the day. A lot of mornings if I look up and see any stars at all, I see my old friend Orion overhead. Come the…
