Here’s a puzzle. \u00a0Tuesday night is trash night here in Kadlec Estates so I trundled out both the regular trash and the recycling.<\/p>\n
The moon, at about 3\/4’s full, was there, the lesser lamp, but the greater in aesthetic impact; Orion had risen in the eastern sky, now his usual upright self after his disturbing Southern Hemisphere headstand; and, there, on the western patch of lawn, the portion that abuts the driveway and goes down to the street, were regular bare patches, about 6-8 inches wide, then a much broader band of icy snow, a pattern that repeated several times as the yard slopes up toward the garage.<\/p>\n
What could cause such regularity? \u00a0Baffles me.<\/p>\n
Soon I’ll have several more chunks of photographs posted about the cruise at www.ancientoftrails.tumblr.com <\/a>. \u00a0Going through them brought back a lot of the trip, its diverse geography, flora and fauna. \u00a0This trip will take a long time to settle in. \u00a0My eventual goal is to post my ancientrails entries in tandem with the photographs, but that may not happen for months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Winter \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 First Moon of the New Year Here’s a puzzle. \u00a0Tuesday night is trash night here in Kadlec Estates so I trundled out both the regular trash and the recycling.
