Degrees of Beautiful
This time of year the gardens around Waldport are different degrees of beautiful. I think we ought to thank the gardeners who’ve provided us with the beautiful sights. There are several kinds of gardens but the ones I’m talking about are those that are individual home ones for beauty possibly growing some small produce like…
The Most Powerful Sense
Touch, taste, sight, sound and smell are the senses humans have. I’m pretty sure animals have them too, but I’m dealing with we humans today! These senses are powerful and can change the directions you were going once they kick in. For example if you’re walking down the street and you suddenly smell a delicious…
The Color Red
The other day when I clicked on the weather news all of Oregon was the color red, a heat advisory. The only exception was a sliver of coolness on the Central Oregon Coast. Right smack in the middle of that coolness was Waldport! Of course we here in Waldport got warm but nothing like inland…
The sounds and sights of Spring
The sounds and sights of Spring. This is the one time of year that you can actually see the changes of the seasons. Winter, fall, and summer just kind of sneak up on you, but Spring lets you know it’s here. The first hint of Spring are the birds singing. It’s a beautiful symphony of…

Living on Another Planet

And Then There Were Four
And then there were four. Four good football teams that are trying to get to The Super Bowl. The pinnacle of professional sports. If you win The Super Bowl you are the best professional football team of that year. However, there is more than just football to the cities that are represented this year. Kansas…
Surprises
Sometimes things can take on an importance which surprises us. Often the surprise is great, other times it’s not so great. This past week we saw two things that were surprises, one good, one bad, yet both evoked strong emotions. One was political and the other was entertaining. Of course the biggest surprise was the…
