Kinda looking like spring.

Great day, great brew, great life.

Having a coffee on the porch and watching the sunrise. There's a flock of turkeys out of sight in the trees too my northwest. I can hear them yelling at each other. Squirrels and chipmunks are running all over the yard. Birds tweeting like crazy. It's loud out here in the woods! Happy Friday!

Looking to be a beautiful day. Astrid wants a cookie, I'm finishing my coffee. Birds are yelling, squirrels running around all over the place. It's a busy morning for the forest creatures.

It's still dark out here in the woods. But our local Carolina Wren is awake and screaming his hello to the world. Good morning to you, too, little bird. Happy Friday!

Great day for guitar on the porch!

We've got a winter blast coming in tomorrow. But today, the porch is beautiful. It looks, feels and sounds like spring. I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts.

Finally nice enough weather to do some serious clean up after the ice storm. We'll have a pretty impressive bonfire tomorrow if the weather permits.

Interesting sunrise in near downtown Nashville, TN this morning.

Well, another day my old Lexus RX300 couldn't get up the driveway. Winter is stupid.

This is who runs this account.

We've had a severe ice storm here west of Nashville. Our power was out for a good while, not much fun. It's back on now and we're warm! Here's a few pics from the front porch. It's beautiful but so destructive.

The pet is the more fuzzy one.

It's about to turn cold. Figured a drink like this might be appropriate. It's pretty good.

Waiting on the kid. Oh look, he's home!

It's a beautiful day to roast coffee. This is Guatemala Antigua Hunapu Ciudad Vieja. I expect delicious coffee!

Astrid the dog. Before it gets cold later this weekend.

The little guy and Astrid the dog went out to meet the bigger guy when he got dropped off by the school bus. Much happiness was expressed.

Beautiful day!

Beautiful morning.

Absolutely beautiful morning here west of Nashville! Astrid says hello, or something along those lines.

I used to work on Spring Garden, north of Center City in Philadelphia. There was a guy with a food cart outside my building. 1 thing he made that was new to me was egg & pepper sandwiches on Philadelphia Italian bread. Amazing. I made some tonight, 1st time in 18 yrs. No great bread but so good!

It's the season!

Black vultures. Burns, Tennessee area. Photo by me.

Visitors in the front yard this morning. We've seen a group grow from tiny babies to a big flock of mostly grown turkeys.

We had a pretty wild storm blew through yesterday afternoon. It's a beautiful morning here west of Nashville now, though. Good morning from Astrid!

Always my response...

88°. Cranberry/ mango juice with @titosvodka.bsky.social on ice. There's stupid shit going on for sure, but it's Friday afternoon and I'm out here with the dog and the hummingbirds and a bunch of other critters and it's gonna be good.

Little friend on the porch.

Tis the season...

Freya got a new window seat. She's still a bit skeptical.

Chicken on the grill. Nice brew. It's a great day.

I try to play at least a little every day to keep my fingers somewhat functional. Osteoarthritis in my hands is getting worse and I'm scared of the day when I might not be able to play anymore. I got out the 12-string and it's reminding me I don't play enough. Paid $100 for it years ago and love it.

She only knows how to eat her cookies in the house on her bed. She carried it outside and then walked around whimpering until I gave up and we went inside.

Sunset near Nashville, TN tonight.

Prost!

Coffee on the porch. Birds all over the place. Hummingbirds fighting over the feeder. Squirrels wanting the feeders but concerned that the dog might eat them. It's a beautiful day.

We've had some visitors this weekend.

Instead of being smart and going to bed, or reading a good book, I decided to watch a video of a total knee replacement. I'd previously just watched an animation of one. Having had both my knees replaced last year, I'm now a little traumatized, and I see why it hurt.

Little bit of scenery on my afternoon drive. Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge - Wikipedia share.google/JzYZIogt6BTR...

Got some Marvin Gaye playing, good book on the Nook. Laundry running down the hall. Not a bad way to spend Sunday morning. And the Stones just cycled in the shuffle. Yay!

I don't typically work from home. It's a nice treat to enjoy a few minutes on the porch.

We had an unusual visitor on the porch. An Eastern Dobsonfly. We don't have any fast moving streams in our immediate vicinity, we've only got a small creek in a deep draw behind the house. We're pretty sure it was nearing the end of its life, but we moved it into some plants for comfort.

Just some flowering mimosas. I tried and failed to get pics of butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.
