THE CROWD BY THE FEEDER

After all my gratitude at the lack of snow this winter, of course it snowed this morning. We only got a few inches -- maybe three? But not far away, they got half a foot, and the week's not over yet. There will be more, probably a little bit every day. Climate is changing, but … Continue reading THE CROWD BY THE FEEDER

BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE! – RICH PASCHALL

My top 10 winter weather songs and music by Rich Paschall If you live in the northern half of the nation, you have probably brought out your sweaters and sweatshirts, blankets, and shawls. You may even have your winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves at the ready in case you need to venture out. So, … Continue reading BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE! – RICH PASCHALL

THE SUN SHINES DOWN ON OUR HURRICANE

To be fair, it rained heavily last night and sometime before daybreak, the power must have gone out because I had to reset clocks this morning and everything in the kitchen was flashing. That was when I realized I had NO idea how to reset the clock in the stove or the microwave. I knew … Continue reading THE SUN SHINES DOWN ON OUR HURRICANE

THE BIG ONE-TWO PUNCH

Be careful what you wish for, for you will surely get it. I've been worrying about our absent winter. It has been in much too warm for what should be the coldest time of year. Not even a real freeze and we still have mosquitoes. In January. That is so wrong. Photo: Garry Armstrong Although … Continue reading THE BIG ONE-TWO PUNCH

SPRING INTO FALL

It Feels Like Football, Rich Paschall We have passed the Autumnal Equinox again, which signals the beginning of Fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Some want to think of it as the last gasp of summer. I prefer to look at it that way. Rushing the seasons is not on my list of things to do. … Continue reading SPRING INTO FALL

CLIMATE CHANGES ARE HERE. NOW.

It's hot. Not only is it hot here, it's hot everywhere including normally cool places like London and many European countries. Looking at a weather map, it looked like the world is boiling over. Probably a reasonably accurate description of what's going on. The world is cooking. Republicans aren't alarmed. Apparently as long as corporate … Continue reading CLIMATE CHANGES ARE HERE. NOW.

HOT POT FOR HUMANITY

Fandango’s Provocative Question #223 I think anyone who reads anything I write already knows where I stand on this issue. I find it terrifying, but more terrifying is how so many people think it's no big deal. But you see, it really IS a big deal and we are all beginning to feel it. Even while … Continue reading HOT POT FOR HUMANITY

SMOKE ON THE WATER

A Fire In The Sky, by Rich Paschall When word of the Canadian wildfire smoke in Boston and other parts of the East reached us last week, we thought it a bit surprising. That smoke surely would have dissipated when it traveled a long distance. Pictures from the area were disturbing. We were concerned for … Continue reading SMOKE ON THE WATER

WHERE HAVE ALL THE SEASONS GONE?

Long time passing. One of the great things about living where we live used to be enjoying the changing seasons. We never had much in the way of spring, but we sure had a whole lot of winter, a long, hot, humid summer and with a bit of luck, a glorious golden autumn. The swans … Continue reading WHERE HAVE ALL THE SEASONS GONE?
