Over the weekend here in the Carolinas a Cold Snap peaked on Saturday, with a Snow Dump of about 4 inches Sunday morning. We were ready for the ‘bad weather’ predicted locally. Except for the prospect of power outages (there were none, yay!) due to ice on the many exposed power lines in the area, […]

While many are experiencing extreme weather across the country, our little corner of the world offered up a few perfect days. My favorite type of day, in fact. Stiff breezes delivering crisp air and enhanced sharpness to the slanty-rays of daytime sunshine… While many have detailed their goals in a manner worthy of the New […]

Both […]

Come Monday. That’s Today.

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 18:41:15 +0000

I cannot get past the coincidence of today’s Labor Day Monday and the Come Monday Monday also being a Labor Day Monday. It pushed me over the edge of posting on this Monday, Monday. But then, that’s a different Monday entirely! While I like me a fine Margarita, this song (and video) by the late […]
