It's Thursday There is a promise of rain today, both in the forecast and on the horizon. At some point that promise reaches almost 100%. After teases over the last 3 days, we could really use that promise being fulfilled. The grass and the trees have begun showing more brown…
It's Tuesday Today I got out of bed early and walked out on the porch... Early. The sun hadn't passed the horizon. As a matter of fact, the eastern sky was just a pink glow. Last night, just about bedtime, a small thunderstorm blew over us. It didn't last all…

Monday It's definitely summer. We're starting out the day at 76°. And the crickets and the cicadas are making sure that quietness doesn't intrude upon our morning. I pulled up the WordPress app this morning and it informed me that this is my 15th anniversary on WordPress. That original WordPress…
