In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

It Was Loud

We had 4 inches of rain yesterday. The result was saturated ground and ponding. After the sunset, and night fell, the cacophony of frogs filled the air. The noise was beyond the point of distraction and drowned out just about any other sound. I listened for awhile, and after having enough of the "chorus", I went back inside to have some peace. It's almost hard to believe there are that many frogs locally, but their calls in the night verify their number.

  1. Take the sound of frogs any day over noisy fog walking people for example my neighbor (I have 2) running an air tool on a still foggy summer morn at 7a.

    1. My neighbors are usually quiet, but even though they aren't real close, they sometimes party loudly late into the night. It's rare, and I can't hear them while inside.

  2. None here right now, that's deep summer. But the coyotes howl at dusk . . .

    1. In dry spells, they are quiet. Unfortunately, it's not dry, and they are in full mating mode.
