('But don't eat red berries')
Took this on December 12th, 2008 the day after the ice storm. I have some pics of all broken tree limbs, too, but... enough of all that destruction. I'd rather look at something prettier. Though, all the fallen evergreen boughs did smell very nice.
It was a scary storm. Still not fully recovered!

Earth-Man Podunk
Obviously, I have not raked leaves. Or brushed the dog.

Boots Today
The driveway was quite flooded after hours of rain.

Ahh... Some Warmth On A Cold Day!
The kalanchoe leaves soaked up the sunshine.
And my camera seems to be hanging in there, still... for now.

How Come 'Geranimom?'
One day, in a haste and so weary from toil,
I freshened my face with geranium oil.
How sweet, the aroma of that lovely flower!
But, it ain't so dainty, in rank of its power.
It's note is a high one; no subtle, earth scent;
Perfume bloomed around me wherever I went.
'Eww!' cried my daughter, 'You've stunk the whole place!'
She muttered, 'Geranimom,' making a face.
Then, this seemed quite funny; we laughed! The name stuck.
It suits my 'geranimal' blend of pot-luck.
I'm never real proper, no hybrid high-bred;
I'm mixed potpourri -- like the words in my head!
For, I know -- 'pelargonium' is the real name;
But, would it be proper, if I said the same?
'Geranium' -- that' what Geranimom wears;
But only, of course, when she's PUTTIN' ON AIRS!
This is a very old re-re-rerun. But today I changed my user name back to geranimom (from Moons-Ago Tunes) so that made me look for this picture and poem.

Frozen Dog Dish
Brrrr.... and my fingers are numb now, too.

One of our little chickadee-dee-dee-dee-dees
My camera is starting to fall apart. The door to the battery compartment won't close all the way. But, anyway, I did get this pic... had to edit it quite a bit to ease up the blurriness and so on.
More I could say today but I'm tired. Goodnight!

Peaceful The Wondrous Night
The link above is for whatever updates and new files I add for the Christmas song, *Peaceful The Wondrous Night.*
It's one that I'll probably record alone on the concertina, rather than with that other bum, Tom (the other half of The Hallelujah Bums). Or, maybe we'll do a duet version of it, as well.
As indicated in the file names, the
Tune-O-Tron record ID is 1233.
12/12/08: MP3 of concertina added.
And, here's another link to the folder:
Froggie and Bunbun
Rest In Peace, dear Rocky Jake...
My rabbit, who lived to be quite old,
passed away peacefully during the night.
This photo is quite old (again). But it's
a favorite. I'd wanted him to pose near
the frog for a photo, and lo and behold,
he did just that!
This is another 'old' picture, but I haven't taken any new pics lately.
Guess I should spend some time with my camera, huh? Maybe I'll get something new.
I do play my concertina for this rabbit (yes, he's real!), and he likes it very much. He's a great little companion to have.

Podunk On Guard Duty
Beautiful November days, lately. Po is happy to be outside under the porch steps, where he can spy on everyone.
I'm glad it's still nice enough (on most days) to work outside. This year, I'm covering the porch windows with plastic again -- skipped a year, and we ended up having huge terrible ice packs on the roof that melted and dripped right in through the porch windows and made a big mess. That won't happen this winter!
I've done the worst of the windows, have one side yet to do.
Froggie plays on...
Yup. There can be days like this. But, even through the worst of winters, I still have my snow-covered garden ornaments, like Froggie, to cheer me up by comparison. I am always allowed to play my squeezebox inside, where I have (so far) never been buried in a pile of snow.
And dear old Froggie, he just keeps on playing, anyway, doesn't he? He's a brave soul.
