I woke this morning from a dream about this place. Yes, it is just a place in the mountains; no one lives there. Over 8,000 feet in the mountains of Utah, the Weather Service tells us about the extreme cold in "Peter Sinks" all the time. Often, it has coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous...

This morning, it was 26°f (-3°C) in this neighborhood. Officially the coldest morning in this very much above normal November. @ducks4you , you can look at what the Weather Service thinks about above & below normal temperatures for your neck of the woods from 6 days to seasonal here: LINK...

Not seeing the organic tangerines in a couple of usual markets where I have purchased them before, I bought a small amount of orange zest. At least, it wasn't nearly the amount that I once bought because if that product rated a C for flavor, the recent purchase counts as a D 😕. It tastes of...

I have had 1st breakfast 4:30-5AM PST. Almost time for 2nd! With the restored view through tree branches into neighbor's kitchen window, I knew it was time — Cleaned the roof gutter yesterday afternoon. It's always a more time consuming chore than I expect, these 2nd cleanings. The first...
