Scenes from a walk in the woods (Ozarks)

From Tales of a Texpatriate, 5 month ago Similar articles

Went on a walk in the woods today, on a cold Fall day. I'm heading back to Norway this week, though it's actually colder here in MO than it is in NO right now. This is all on my parents' property, in a place that is literally almost named Bumfuck. Still, Bumfuck is really pretty. The dog is also theirs, one of three, though one is pretty old and I think he won't be around much longer. Teufel, you're a good ol' boy.Argh, I don't want to do the flight back. Such a pain in the ass. Sigh. Can't...

From Gweipo , Today, Similar articles

Plants are the darndest things.  I've never thought of myself as having green fingers, and in fact I know pretty much that I don't.  Part of it is an appreciation for nice gardens / pot plants etc combined with a complete lack of interest in how they get from point seed to point beauty.  And all the details in-between.On our walk yesterday my son was reminiscing about our little garden in Hong Kong.  Our little cement garden, with it's couple of meters of planter in which we...

So, the continuation of the story of the weekend's walk will have to wait.  Per això, l'historia del cap de setmana haurà d'esperar.Cause I was at the hairdresser's on Tue getting my hair dressed (cut) and he was telling me about this break up the week walk he was going to do with a friend (and fellow hairdresser.  They were going to leave super early Wed morning, climb Puig Mal (2911 M) and come back for lunch.  I asked, slightly pathetically, if I could come and he said...

Tuesday evening games-fest II

Tuesday evening games-fest II

From This is Cyprus, Yesterday, Similar articles

It's nearly eight months since my good friend Joan and I, in the temporary absence of our husbands, held a five-hour 'games fest' evening. It so happens that this week, once again, our menfolk are away at the same time. So we thought we might try a re-run.  Not that it was quite the same... for one thing, I knew I would not be able to walk even as far as the local Souvlaki Express.  I thought I had bruised my toes badly three weeks ago. The advice and observations of various...

Which is silly.  Que està una mica tonta.I am going to add the rest of the Catalan later though.  I am getting too tired tonight.So, here goes.  We went up to Olot on Sat evening so that we could leave bright and early the next morning.  The hotel was fine, nice and clean and just renovated, the people very friendly and it was VERY close to the start point of the walk.His Chuckiness and I walked a couple of hundred yards up the walk just to get our bearings, and saw this:...

A Quick Trip To Toronto

From Correr Es Mi Destino, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Toronto is one of my favourite cities in Canada, and we've gotten to know it pretty well through multiple visits. It's an easy getaway destination, a mere five-hour drive from Ottawa, and there are a lot of cheap hotels if you don't mind staying in the suburbs, like most of Toronto residents. This time, we were there for the Bryan Adams concert and only stayed for a day, but we still enjoyed a nice walk in the city and a stop at two of our favourite restaurants: The Old Spaghetti Factory on...

I was so shocked, I couldn't come up with a better title for this post

From The Bold Soul, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Taking a walk on the lighter side today, after a week of bad news from back home (my friend with cancer is losing the battle and is now in the care of his loving wife with home hospice), French elections, Ugly Americans and blog comment battles. Time to lighten the hell up. So, for your viewing amusement (and mine), I submit the following photo: THIS... is a white radish. A RADISH. I never saw vegetables like this back in New Jersey; not even close. I mean, LOOK at this thing - it's longer...
