Randomly ... Into December 2014 ....

One part of my persimmon haul in Daphne AL

Persimmons make yummy cookies!

Carpet of Ginko leaves from the tree above ... late November in Daphne

Camellia ... a little early

Home again: Tree's up in Nevada City CA

Merry Christmas to my feathered friends ... fresh, new bird seed!

Mmmmmm, seafood gumbo's on the stove: yeah-boy! on a chill, rainy nite ...

... which turns into a slushy snow early Friday morning

More drought-busting rain is forecast for today! Hip-hip-hooray!

Last time I checked the calendar, it was still 2014. ;) You can have that snow.

Hi there, Nickie. Your December posts remind me of mine. Lots of food, decorating, enjoying home. It is nice to be home I think, although sometimes we travel at Christmas. We have had steady rain the last few days as well, and the hyped up storm never even blew a tiny breeze here in Rocky Point. Still no rumors of Christmas snow around here. Let's hope the rain keeps up and fills the reservoirs, although it might take a few weeks rather than a few days.

We appreciate your comments! PLEASE leave us your name, so we don't have to guess! Thanks!

Happy Trails!

We've been bloggers since 2007. Love to travel. In 2007, we bought a 2003, 21.5' Trail-lite Class B motor home and started RV'ing. We drove it from Florida to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia on our maiden voyage! Sold it two years later to buy a 2005, 27' Class C Lazy Daze. In 2011, we traded that in for a 2010 Class A 26+ ft Winnebago Vista ... all of them gently used vehicles. We put on lots of miles each year (14,000 in 2010 alone). We're not full-timers, maybe you could call us half-timers -- in 2011, we left home in April and returned in December! We enjoy hiking and exploring. Like to read, cook and eat! We have fun wherever we are, whatever we're doing. In June 2012 we bought a home in Nevada City CA, but we're still "hittin' the road!" (itchy feet) It's what we do. * * * *

Look to this day,
for it is life,
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
The realities and verities of existence,
The bliss of growth,
The splendor of action,
The glory of power --

For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

Google removed almost all my photos from the blog's inception date of 2006 to May 2010, and replaced each one with an exclamation mark. Why? No one knows. Just be aware if you're looking at any post before May 2010, you probably won't see pictures. Wish it wasn't so.
