Tiny essays on life, nature, grief and other things that catch my fancy in the Texas Hill Country. Here’s how it all got started.

A Drive
Went for a drive in the hills south of town last night. A little bit of free floating anxiety had made its way into the house and settled on my shoulders. I needed to get out.
Pool Time
Slipped into the pool yesterday. Sat in my chair float with my legs propped up on a noodle. The current carried me along, mostly in a counterclockwise circle, because our pool is round.
A Tale of Two Days
The story ends better than it starts.
Days End
Went to the hills south of town and watched the sun go down yesterday evening. More precisely, I watched as the earth turned leaving the sun right where it always is, in the middle of the solar system.
New Mission
Went to the hills south of town last night to make sure the sun got down okay. It did. No big show.
Last Light
Went to watch the sky yesterday in the hills just south of town. It was mostly blue with scattered clouds.
Sky Watch
Got up early yesterday, drove in the dark to meet my brother to play golf. We did. Ate lunch. Came home.
What I See
It’s another chill morning on the homestead. The cats are fed, and the morning deer have retreated into the anonymity of the woods. Gray clouds are riding a southerly breeze and reflecting the morning sun.
A Gathering
Had dinner with a group of local friends last night. Met someone new.
