    Spring Time in Miami
    Finally it has started to rain new leaves are coming out and my favorite wild flower is blooming the "Spider wort" It is a royal blue with two little yellow dots and grows in wet areas. I plant them in big clusters in my yard. The Florida Privet has its fruits on the tree and the birds go crazy eating them. I try to have as many bushes and trees that produce fruit for birds.Birds get very territorial and at times I will have gangs of jays, mocking birds. wax wings, cat birds and orioles all eating and chasing each other. Plus lots and lots of butterflies and bees. We of course have started to warm up almost hitting 90 for several days. Thank goodness we are getting probably our last true cold front on Tuesday it will drop into the 50's and I plan to go to Loop Road which takes you through 40 miles of Everglades. I wrote a poem about Loop Road in the early days of the Poetry thread. I hope I get the new "Going to Terrapin" in time for the trip. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

    and it's been over a day since any posts so let's see...hmm, well, a cold front has pushed through and the sun is out, a little windy, temp. just over 50 degrees. The ospreys are back and you can see em flying back to their nests with big sticks and stuff, they tend to use the same nests each year but build back up any damage winter storms may have caused. They fish in the ocean and the river. Saw one sittin up in a tree last year with a salmon! Speaking of which, springer salmon are starting to show up and people have been catching them for a couple weeks. Grass is green, flowers and bushes blooming and trees budding. goin where the wind goes bloomin like a red rose

    Bobba, where are you? It's a beautiful spring day in Oakland and everything's still very green and clean because we've had a ton of rain over the last month or so. We could always use more however.

Well it seems as if we have returned to the November and Decembers I remember as a kid 50's at night and upper 70's during the day.A/C has been off almost the entire past 6 weeks. Nicest weather since the late 70's. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Been a beautiful fall here in Oregon, that's for sure. Just watched an awesome sunset over the Pacific. Listening to Sirius it lasted throughout Truckin, Standing on the Moon, Cassidy, and Wang Dang Doodle. Venus and Jupiter came out, and sunbeams sparkled. Happy Birthday Jim Morrison, and praise to you John Lennon, hey man, I fucked up when I told them it was my 18th birthday when you died, it was my 19th. Anyways, I'm kinda trashed and I think I better go home. I love you all.

Snow on Mount Diablo? Hearing it might snow on Grandma's mountain - thats what we call it in our family, used to take rides up there with grandma back in the day. Her dad was the first mayor of concord. Mom and Dads place in Livermore now has a window that looks out to the beautiful little mountain.

Tonight a rare occurance of a big winter system bearing down from the Dakotas, and another comming up across Kansas, and both meeting here in Nebraska. They collide complete with snow, freezing rain, thunder AND lightning. Actually quite spectacular, however I'm thinking that driving tomorrow after a couple of inches of freezing rain on top of snow will be a challenge! The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

to a sweltering 32 degrees and the snow stopped for about 6 hrs........just long enough to acquire a fine layer of ice on top. it's snowing again and we expect " winter precipitation", a fine euphemism for freezing rain, sometime this evening. apparently it's solid snow across the northern states from Washington state to New york. they are predicting snow here the rest of the week......first white Christmas we've had here in quite some time. was amusing watching ben the dog attempt to walk across the top of the frozen snow. he spread his toes out as much as he could to keep from breaking thru....to no avail.

Just broke the all-time record for snowfall here in madison,wisconsin for the month of december. A beautiful sight really, nothing like christmas lights reflecting in the snow and fresh fallen snow hanging on the branches of all the trees. Reminds me of the days at lake tahoe. Have a warm and wonderful christmas eve all you beautiful people out there. Your spirit shines brightly on this planet we call home.

We have had 59.7 inches of snow this month. Mail delivery has been sporadic. I am walking just about everywhere, in the street, which I don't like because some people have not cleared the sidewalks. The piles of snow we have made from clearing the sidewalk and drive are over 6 or 7 feet tall. The roof of an electrical business at the end of our block fell in yesteday from the weight of the snow and one of my neighbors just fell off his roof clearing it. I usually like snow and winter but this is testing my patience. I am too tired from shovelling and walking in deep snow and pushing people out to have much time or energy to snowshoe or ski! And more is on its way. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

They just announced that is currently -25 in Saranac Lake at 10 pm. That's pretty righeous. Everything is really trippy when it gets this cold. Even the planes going over head sound really weird in extreme cold. I love it! It's gonna get colder, so let's get on with the show... And if you're up in the North Country, bring your pets in!!!!!

Two of my employees went to work in 40 below temps, before wind chill, in Aberdeen SD and up in Bismarck ND, yesterday, 1/14. Fortunately, their cars didn't break down or go off into a snowdrift, as I spoke with both today: heck it was above 0 today. In Aberdeen, the public schools were still in session....

Snowed like hell today. We got maybe 10 more inches on top of 10 already on the ground. It's pretty polar out there! Brings the deer down off the mountain and it's always a trip to see these gentle creatures just minding their own business. It sucks that they have to cast a wary eye at the humans around here who often shoot them. Anyway, it's only the end of January and the way it's going this year I fully expect to be walking through three feet of snow by the end of March. Hopefully we'll catch a break before the Dead & Albany, Worcester and Hartford roll along this spring. Ahhh, Spring. Ther mere thought if it makes me feel better!

Walked the beach in the morning picking up agates, walked through the forest in the afternoon picking hedgehogs, chantrelles, and yellow feet, made $32. Hedgehogs go for $5 a pound and black chantys $6. Have had quite a number of 60 degree days and a couple in the 70's since new years. I love Oregon!

which was pretty scary, we are having almost comical bad weather here in lovely Oakland, causing me once again to be pathetically grateful not to be lining up in the downpour and swapping every germ known to man at one of our fine local venues, as in years past. Loved those CNY/Mardi Gras'St. Paddy's shows, but I'm appreciating being warm, dry and inside at the moment too. I'm old and I'm proud... Thunder! Lightning! Hail! Flooded streets!

We had some almost comical weather last week 2/11,and 2/12 we had wind gusts up to 60 mph. 19,000+ without power, we were 1 of the lucky ones. Our electric was out from early am on 2/11 until mid day on sat. the 14th. Living in Erie, Pa this time of year one does not require a fridge to keep there food from spoiling. We emptied the contents of the fridge onto our sun porch, which is not insulated. We used our gas stove for heat and tried to make the best of it.Peace
