One year … and one day
of snow.
First section of
photographs taken from June 11, 2023 to June 11, 2024.
It didn’t snow for
another 6 months.
Then, on Tuesday,
December 3, 2024, at 6:30am, we awoke to one day of snow …
April 22 is Earth Day.
We used to have 4 distinct seasons.
Not anymore.
Climate change is real and a threat to us all.
Weather events around the world are becoming more
unpredictable, erratic, extreme, destructive and deadly.
Value and protect the environment, wildlife,
and pollinators.
Learn how to reduce carbon emissions.
Observe. Conserve. Preserve. Recycle. Reduce. Reuse.
Save.
We only have one world.
Make a positive difference, before it’s too
late.
Make every day Earth Day.

Happy Birthday …
… to my
favorite actor, Jack Nicholson.
Born April 22, 1937, he turned 80 today!
I’ve
been a lifelong fan of his movies and I’ll be
blogging on my favorites in the future.
He made
the role of Jack Torrance, in The Shining
(1980), his own.
Happy
Birthday, Jack!
