Today is a solid 1 of fools--Googling survival skills but can’t even find my pants.  How’s your day?

Hello? Is this thing on?

I saw this beautiful little chrysanthemum popped into a tiny bottle on the counter of a local YMCA. A sight so perfect deserves to be preserved.

Big Beautiful World 77 - Rural Window, Sunbury PA

Big Beautiful World 77 – Rural Window, Sunbury PA

It’s a big, beautiful world out there, can we please stop screwing it up? Driving the back way to work is a visual central Pennsylvania feast. It’s all welcoming hills and nature’s fecund blessing (major nerd points for anyone who gets that line), jam-packed with things like farms and trees and wide swaths of swaying grass…or sparkling snow, depending on the season. And I, of course, am drawn…

Big Beautiful World 76 – The Lake at Eagles Mere

It’s a big, beautiful world out there, but maybe we can stop screwing it up? It’s Valentine’s Day, and it’s officially been a year since my husband and I have gone ANYWHERE. What a strange year. Our last trip into an unfettered and COVID-free world took us to Eagles Mere (pop. 120), a sweet and adorable village that’s not quite an hour away from us. The population swells there in the summer…

Big Beautiful World 75 – Cardinals in the Snow

It’s a big, beautiful world out there, but maybe we can stop screwing it up? It’s been really hard for me to find things that are beautiful, lately, and by lately I mean for the last several years, even though this is the time when we desperately need it. So. Even though there’s still a shitload of unrest, and yet another attempted coup in the world, and an enormous cloud of misinformation and…

It’s a big, beautiful world out there and man…are we ever screwing it up.

I started taking a road-less-traveled to work…making a right instead of a left, going around the mountain instead of through town, and I get to see a lot more of what makes central PA special. In fact, it’s so pretty I even drive around there on my off days. There’s a dam at the first right over the bridge, and yesterday I…

I got some weirdo light reflections from my glasses this morning. I wonder if they'll give me op-art vision? #reflections #lightplay #glasses #readers #opart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFM1mWeFtRM/?igshid=a48z5ctsbml5

It’s a big, beautiful world out there and man…are we ever screwing it up.

The other day, I thought I would try and take a back way to work. The main route in is often congested, and if there’s any little bit of road work (this is Pennsylvania, there’s always road work) the drive can flip from meditative to annoying. The back way goes outside of town and around the mountain (this is central…

I suspect they’re not taking deliveries at this time.

But man, do the clouds ever look fantastic.
