    March Full Moon

    “The full Moon in March is known by many names: the Worm Moon, Sap Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Sugar Moon, and Lenten Moon. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the native tribes of what is now the northern and eastern U.S. named this the Worm Moon after the earthworm casts that appear as the ground thaws. The more northern tribes knew this as the Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter. Other northern names are the Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night, or the Sap Moon as this is the time for tapping maple trees.…

    Fallen

    Update: I remembered I had not listed the links for this composite.  You can now find them below the post. I finished my composite…well, finished as much as I’m doing this evening.  I may do some more another day.  I saw something similar on deviantART and wanted to give it a try myself ~ no tutorial this time, all free hand.  🙂  The image, along with the models hair color, actually reminded me of a character from a television show I like to watch, Supernatural.  The character’s name was Anna, at first is thought to be a prophet…turns out she is a fallen angel. I am unable to provide the…

    Morning Visitor

    It was actually a male and female downy woodpecker visiting…she was a more like a hit and run eater…didn’t hang around as long as he did.  Wonder if we will have little ones visiting some day?

    Postcards From The Past

    While I was cleaning out a closet, I ran across an old box of photographs and mementos.  I found this old postcard inside the box… Pretty cool huh?  Take a look at the back and the cost to mail this card… The back of this card is available as a free download for personal use….1660 x 1030 @ 300dpi….click here if you would like a copy.  This is a .png file.  Click the link and choose “save” or “save as”.  Make sure you take note where the file is saved.  The file you download will not have my logo on it and the edges are cleaner.  🙂

    Outside My Window ~ 3.4.2012

    Outside my window…is setting up to be a frosty evening.  Currently we are at 38°F, a low of 33°F is forecast for tonight.  We have had not quite an inch of rain in the last 24 hours and the ground is quite wet.  There is a chance of rain and snow in the morning…and then turning to rain later in the afternoon.  That sounds nice and messy doesn’t it?  We will reach about 45°F tomorrow….27°F tomorrow night….and a high of 68°F by Wednesday.  Mighty peculiar weather we are having lately.  We were fortunate and avoided severe weather this past weekend…although it did rain a good deal Saturday and Sunday.  Until…

    A Recipe or Two

    Confetti chicken is up on the menu tonight…. ….an easy to make dinner dish…. It can be served with a heavy cream sauce…. …or it can be prepared with just the vegetables and maybe some fresh mozzarella…. This is the Italian Seasoning I use….but like any recipe, this is a starting point…take it and run with it, make it your own.  I personally think some fresh, summer basil would also be a nice addition….something I will try this summer. Either way, I hope you enjoy.  Click here for Confetti Chicken and Spicy Cream Sauce.  Enjoy!  🙂

    Something New

    I was notified my Photography page on Facebook will have the timeline design by the end of March… …so I made a cover photograph this evening. The composite is going to take longer than I thought….a lot longer.  🙂 I will be able to interchange the images every so often. Here is a look at the cover photograph…. ….now go check out the page.  🙂
