A return to our very short spring….

Gary BoydApril 11, 2024April 11, 20242
I'm standing out on the front porch this morning. Waiting for my grandson to get on the school bus... And I'm struck by how beautiful a spring morning it is. Even though the sun is not up, the birds are singing as if their lives depended upon it. There is…

Gary BoydMarch 19, 2024March 19, 2024
The trip out onto the front porch first thing this morning was really chilly... It was 45° outside. The photo above is taken from the back porch just before the second bus run... 2 weeks ago. This would have been what it looked like at the first bus run. A…

It Ain’t Over Yet…

Gary BoydMarch 16, 2024March 16, 2024
Every once in awhile you hear a song that stops you in your tracks. This song does it every time I hear it... every damn time! I'm not sure when Rodney Crowell first entered my awareness. I mean he has been bouncing around in there for decades... Hell he's been…

While I wasn’t paying attention… Spring arrived..

Gary BoydMarch 4, 2024
Monday, March 4th While I was standing on the front porch waiting for the second bus.. I noticed the predominance of the color green. Just a week or so ago, gray was the predominant color of my front yard. So I guess you could say spring snuck up on me.…

Tuesday June 6th Space City Weather keeps warning that these cool mornings will come to an end here shortly. And I'm sure they're right, because the humidity is rising. But as long as the dew points hang below 70°, I think I'll be happy. Once again it's mostly quiet out.…

Thursday April 13th The progression of the seasons is well advanced and I've missed most of it due to the continued overcast we've had. The Sun, on its annual progression to the north, has now reached the point where the back porch will be touched less and less to fall…

  • “You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend or not.” — Isabel Allende.
  • “My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just to enjoy your ice-cream while it’s on your plate.” — Thornton Wilder
  • “Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end.” — Homer, The Odyssey
  • “The rule of law, civil liberties and civil rights—these are not our burdens. They are what makes all of us safer and stronger.” — Bob Mueller, Former Director of the FBI
  • “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • “Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but ‘steal’ some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

    ― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959
