Winter Solstice Great Conjunction Saturn and Jupiter as seen from Kendall
Today is the great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter. I was like looking out the window to see if I could see it. After looking at all the stars, I saw it over the horizon, just before it ended. I saw both Saturn and Jupiter around 7:10 PM. It was all nice and cool to see it. This is like the best photo I was able to take of it. I managed to get a couple of the Jupiter moons. Saturn is just a little flat, but still nice and handsome. It is not often one can see both planets,...
The Progress of my Tomatoes and Bell Pepper Plants
A couple of hours ago, Florida had a little Tropical Storm named Eta. The storm first passed by Cuba, which was a good thing. Cuba has tiny mountains. They were useful enough to weaken the Tropical Storm before it came to South Florida. This Tropical Storm did a number on Mexico. I pray that God helps the Mexicans from the Riviera Maya. I like Mexico, and the Mexicans. They don’t let folks mess with them. That is something worth respecting. In any case, Tropical Storm Eta also brought flooding to Florida. I guessed that it could cause problems in South...
And then There were Two Flower Beds
Today seemed like a good a time as any to show you my family’s Pilgrim Progress with the raised beds. Now, we are up to two. Both are looking might handsome. Brother person is trying to make one per week. The rains have been favorable. We might just be able to get a good harvest. The bell peppers are starting to show flowers. At least, I think they are bell peppers. The store say they were bell peppers. This time we bought the anti-mosquito plant. I gotta say it works pretty well. You sit right next to it, and it...
Gardening Sister: My First Raised Planter
Those who are not familiar with my work might be surprised by this post. Who am I kidding? You folks already know what I am all about. Anyhow, brother person has been taking lowering weight seriously. The dieting not so much. Dieting is hard. This Friday we had pizza. Since he went up three pounds, he took drastic measures. Most folks would throw up, but that is not the healthy way to lose weight quickly. The quickest way to loose weight is to garden. Two hours of shoveling dirt was enough to burn those calories. In order to avoid overheating,...
Cardinal Flowers Friday Photo
Today is a little bit of a slow day around the edges. I have been thinking of writing during the day time. Things get a little gloomy when writing in the middle of the night. I am finally going to start on that side project of mine. It is going to be a vampire book. It might become a series, or a stand alone book. I am not going to have a defined length for the book. I am just going to write on it till I am bored of it. Then I will just make a quick ending and...
