Vol XV # 348 – A Cloudy & Cool Thursday
Not much happening today, it’s cool and gray. On the way to town this morning I came upon a group of turkeys crossing M22. The boss turkey in full blown feathers all fanned out turned and started marching straight toward me in my lane. I of course stopped and he approached the front of the Jeep to the point where… Read more »
Vol XV # 344 – Chasing Cloud Formations
Cloudy skies at get-up, a rather depressing looking morning. In general our winter sky is cloudy or overcast and lake effect something.

Vol XV # 343 – A Calm Big Blue and Warmer Too
Woke up to the forecasted 1 to 2 inches of overnight snow as well as an overcast sky. The early morning still had a few flakes in the air.

Vol XV # 342 – Blue Sky and Puffy White Clouds

No snow at get-up time, just a lot of wind gusting to over 30. We live downhill to the western breezes and hear the roar but don’t feel the full force of it as it goes high over our heads. At the shoreline is another story. It’s difficult at times for me to stay on my feet, especially when I’m taking a… Read more »
Vol XV #330 – Things People Can Do On a Nice Sunday
A mostly cloudy day with some here and there sunshine. Below, the inset shows how different the beach is contrasted with a year ago, yet this winter is just as wintery as last year. Certainly, rock collecting wasn’t an option.
