For week/year 8 of my 52 years celebration, another picture from sometime in the 1970’s, of me making a snowman (and my father at the edge of the frame). Seems appropriate given the surprise snow yesterday. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 24 is “baby”. Look what I spotted on the floating pond island: duck eggs! These probably aren’t fertilized, but now that they are starting to lay, we may have baby ducklings before long. 🦆🥚📷 #mbfeb

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 23 is “banana”. We don’t have any bananas at present, so I searched my photo library for a picture… close, photos app, but these are not bananas. 🚫🍌📷 #mbfeb

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 22 is “spell”. Back around age 13 (I think) I enjoyed writing short sci-fi stories, laboriously typing them on my mother’s manual typewriter (before I had a computer with a printer). But my spelling wasn’t that great. 📷 #mbfeb

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 21 is “colors”. Here’s a picture of our custom chicken coop from the recent ice storm, with the translucent icicles and white snow adding to the many colors of the coop, inspired by Caribbean houses. 📷 #mbfeb
