I went to the river at dawn

Three days of clear sky have lifted my mood. I seem to be at the weather's mercy this fall.

My house at sunrise: my bedroom is on the left, and my office is behind the two righthand windows, facing southeast. My oak writing desk faces the corner window. My computer table faces the inside wall, with the middle window to my left. Now as I type at 9:45, sunshine floods my lap and chest. I occupy the entire second floor.



The third floor apartment contains two adults, a teenager, a toddler, two babies and two pitbulls. Saturday night while I was out, they apparently locked themselves out and broke the front door to get in. I hope they leave soon.

This image is number 4999. Since obtaining a memory card for my camera in March 2002 I have taken 5,000 images, almost 4,000 since joining LiveJournal in April 2003.

Spiced coffee

This works well in my two-cup coffee Bodum. I add half a cinnamon stick, a couple green cardamon pods, several allspice berries and some whole cloves to the empty carafe along with fresh coffee grounds, fill it with boiling water and stir.

Tendril and friends have run into some trouble, and I have been having fun today.

Pretty accurate, I must admit. ( See what I mean. )
