Stan & Joyce Orchard
Trying to figure it out since 1975.
River Walk
Today we chose the flat Cedar River Trail at Landsberg. Went 2.6 miles and we’re both bushed, but happy to be able to do it. Encountered maybe a dozen other souls, mostly runners, and we all kept our distance. It’s a new world.
Taylor Mountain Morning
Joyce Carol and I hiked a bit at Taylor Mountain Forest here in Hobart. A beautiful morning for some social distancing on a pretty much deserted trail system.
Skunk Cabbage Return
Like the swallows to Capistrano, skunk cabbage are blooming in Hobart. The world may be upside down right now, but this is a sign that life goes on.
Freaky Friday
It’s Friday the 13th, the coronavirus is running rampant, schools are closing, everything is cancelling, we’re all feeling down, and it’s snowing. Perfect.
Wile E., Wiley, or Just Scary?
The coyotes that frequently visit us never look like something out of Looney Tunes.
Fungus Among Us
These things always fascinate me, especially on a beautiful, sunny day.
Freaky Weather
A Leap Year Day hailstorm like we've never seen in 35 years here in Hobart. An inch of hail on the ground, lots of lightning and thunder. Wild.
So Clever
I love clever stuff, especially marketing. This is great. For sale on Amazon.
On The Beach
Great day for a walk along Ruston Way and lunch at Katie Downs. Pizza and other eats still very good.
New Neighbors
Or maybe new ‘naaaay-bors’ is more appropriate. These two were shy when we stopped to say hi, but they’re still cute. Capricious, you might say.
