Stirring meself......

Been a week since I've posted, nothing really to blog about.  Been reading the facebook account I have r.e. oldest daughter.....it just seems like the choir talking to each other. Not that that is a criticism, mind, the choir do need to develop tactics, strategies, and missions. But there is a limit to what I can read without posting 'shut the fuck up and do something!', until i realize they are in fact, doing something. More perhaps than my less than honorable generation has done.

Anyway, it's a late spring day here at 6K feet. As I write the temp has soared to 60f, from  28f when I got up at 6:30.

The street is so quiet, a car hasn't passed in over an hour.


And the lilac in my backyard is in full. 


Cheers to you from the Rockies.

  1. Ah the lilacs. My mother would always launch into this song when they appeared in the spring.

    1. Be damned, never heard that one before. Thanks.

  2. Spring and summer in lands where snow flies and temperatures freeze is a magical time. Of course the season of blooms is magical everywhere.
    The lilacs are beautiful.

    1. They are, but so short-lived. My friend, taking my word that they always bloomed second week of June got here on the 14th, to find them mostly over.

  3. FB is an odd thing. I have to bite my tongue sometimes, and sometimes I don't manage to do that.

  4. Spring is spring, no matter when it comes. I doubt I could wait that long.

    1. Sometimes we can't choose, can we. It comes when it comes, whether we're here or not. That's a comfort to me.

  5. Would I be right in thinking you'd prefer to see people taking positive action rather than complaining? Me too.

    I don't believe our generation was ever less than honorable; considering the circumstances most of us did our best. Becoming a doctor was a very honorable decision, after all. We can't judge a generation by the actions of the few and there are as*^%oles in every age group everywhere.

    The lilacs are just finishing here and the buttercups are blooming. :)

    1. 1. Maybe, sorta, except I think this generation might easily exceed ours in wisdom and the right approach.
      2. Dunno. I saw a lot of things we did I think were less than honorable. We'll have to think on that one.
      3. I saw some Indian Paintbrush blooming today up around 9K feet.

  6. Well I'll be. It works. You surely changed something and I missed the move. I'm quite glad thanks to Susan's help to have reconnected. Now I'll peruse back and check out what I've missed....:)

  7. I miss the temperature swings that come with living at high elevations

    1. Yeah, sleeping at night is easy when it drops 40 degrees.

  8. Temperature here right now is (alleged to be) 93 right now and heading for the hundreds by the weekend. And I'm at about 5,000 feet elevation.

  9. It's in the high 80's today, so I'm inside for the hottest part of the day. The lilacs are pretty - one of my favorite smells. Mine bloomed maybe a month ago.

    1. I feel the same about your temps as you do about mine. Cheers.

  10. I can't even imagine ever living in a place that actually has seasons again. Mild is what I like. Well, I do go to the desert when it's about a thousand degrees. That is most certainly not mild.
