The following piece was the first music playing on Apple Music HAUSER Radio when I began shoveling snow yesterday morning. While HAUSER Radio was a complete success for a morning walk, the selection of music after this one did not suit the occasion. Next time I’ll try more Vivald … | Continue reading
I was excited to spot a snowy owl (never matters if they’re real or not) on Main Street while enjoying a very peaceful and cold Sunday morning walk listening to Apple Music HAUSER & Similar Artists Radio.

According to everything I’m seeing on tv and in the store, I should be saying it’s time for the holidays, but somehow I mentally made a decision to not leave October.

The little birds generally accept that it will be my niece providing snacks on the trails, except for the very rude downy woodpeckers. Not only do they fly straight at my head, but also make sure they give me a dirty look when they realize I have no snacks. After a few days spent … | Continue reading

We’re having a week of blue skies and warmer weather and while it was a very chilly start to the day on the trails, thankfully it began to warm up when all the chirpy little birds arrived.

I love discovering a bold and bright outlier, not conforming to nature’s schedule and willing to shine in solitude as the others rush to shed their leaves together. Instead of joining the pile, floats gently on their own eccentric time to peacefully land alone. iPhone App: Snapse … | Continue reading
After sixty-six days of this iPhone Journey, I’ve determined leaving the Nikon at home has made a difference in my neck/back pain and this journey will continue throughout winter, although you will no longer see iPhone Journey in the title.

Last year I added an early November reminder on my calendar to not start the holiday celebrations too early so I wasn’t worn out by the actual holiday, but who can argue with all the coffee shops that have released their new cups and flavors for the season. The worst of the fall … | Continue reading
I ended October trying to choose a theme for my least favorite month of the year and when I asked my niece if she had any ideas, I received a text later in the day about her celebrating NOvember, saying no to everything. That was not the direction I was headed, but after waking t … | Continue reading

As we move through these fall days and dark cooler mornings, I’m reminded how much I miss my early morning sunrises. One more important item about life and fall mornings is that I don’t appreciate anyone thinking for me, including cars, and whoever designs these new automobiles w … | Continue reading
Hopefully after a rainy start to the weekend there will be the chance to chase more clouds and fall colors this weekend.
