Picaresque

Picaresque is the adjective to describe writings about a common or low character who survives the pitfalls of life through luck or good fortune. My travels, interests, my animals, my photographs, my wonderful friends and family are featured.

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Sun-Dogs at Sunrise

Sun-Dogs (Parhelia) have been associated with signs and portents since man first noticed them. Is it too fanciful to think that Tucker and Goodie are roaming the skies together today? The colors of the sunrise cast a warm glow on everything this morning. Sometimes this country is so beautiful it makes the spirit soar. You just have to smile.
The Plum trees bore little fruit due to the late frosts this spring. They are proving their worth even in a spare year, by displaying their frost tinged finery.

The large bales of the Northern Arapaho Farm in the middle ground, the Wind River Range in the back. A better picture full-sized. Did you know you can click on any of these pictures to enlarge them? Click and say "Embiggen."

What was I doing up so early? Not sleeping. Tell-tale grapes after a sensible dinner: (corned beef hash, poached egg, two pieces of toast) which were begging to be eaten before they turned mushy, shot the glucose over 240. It would appear the the highs and lows are related to the blood sugar. It was still 170 at 6:30 a.m. Coming down puts me right to sleep. That happened about 1:30 this afternoon.

Bought some humongous slippers at Wally World this morning. Very comfortable for the fat feet. Life is good.
