Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling: January 2014
http://openeyedscribbling.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling. Saturday, January 25, 2014. Nothing I Can See Scares Me. What I Can't See. I’m looking into the woods from the end of my driveway. The wind is blowing due west so the pine trees beside me howl like organ pipes and do nothing to keep me sheltered. At least the wind is at my back and not stopping my breath. It’s a balmy twenty-five degrees and my hands feel relatively warm bare and taking notes for what I’ll type later. Kathy has published a book of essays titled, Bear Season.

Alligator Smile: Disney Gator, When I'm Human
http://alligatorsmile.blogspot.com/2014/08/disney-gator-when-im-human.html
Friday, August 22, 2014. Disney Gator, When I'm Human. Maybe the reason I don't update my blog is because I'm lazy. Got nobody checking up on me now. Maybe it's because I spent the summer preparing for a wedding. A one-day $10,000 party. Worth it, I think. Here's to another semester, Louis. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Alligator Smile: He Who
http://alligatorsmile.blogspot.com/2014/02/he-who.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. Has every piece of this earth been recorded, stepped on? So as I'm looking at these lizards, in their five by ten foot tank, and I'm wondering, what's the point of all my thoughts? These lizards have certainly slid across every millimeter of their man-made fifty square feet, and now there's no land left to explore. Maybe we were given so much land because we weren't meant to see it all. We were meant to be able to still wonder, to imagine. He who journeyed through the airport.

Alligator Smile: March 2014
http://alligatorsmile.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2014. Summer" Xia, Red Panda. Probably making a sound effect somewhere along the lines of "nyum nyum nyum."). Remember this stuff from a couple entries ago? I listed nearly a hundred grasses I knew were NOT this plant. Anyway, the smaller, softer "harbaceous bamboos" are known as "olyreae." This is what the plant is and it is strange that the more popular wood-like bamboo has been the only bamboo in my mind. At least the red panda knows better. Despite this, red pandas. Continuous walki...

Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling: Picking Winners
http://openeyedscribbling.blogspot.com/2014/03/picking-winners.html
Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling. Saturday, March 15, 2014. Earlier today I watched my tree from a little farther off than usual. I was very quiet and hid behind a car. I saw the culprit! It was a gray squirrel. There has never in all the years I’ve lived here been a gray squirrel in the yard. I’ve seen chipmunks and an occasional red squirrel, but no grays. I stepped out from my hiding place and it took off like a rocket for the woods seventy or eighty feet away. Sheryl St. Germain. March 20, 2014 at 11:58 AM.

Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling: Night
http://openeyedscribbling.blogspot.com/2014/02/night.html
Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling. Sunday, February 16, 2014. I’ve written about the wind, the cold, how the wind makes it cold, snow in various stages of causing me work or misery and I’ll stop listing before this becomes a rant. Sure it’s windier, snowier and usually colder up here on our hilltop in the country but there is pretty cool stuff here that nobody ever sees in the city. As I look up I can hear snow landing on my nylon jacket and wish I’d worn a quieter one and that I still had the pick up tr...

Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling: Salt, Ice and the Sea
http://openeyedscribbling.blogspot.com/2014/02/salt-ice-and-sea.html
Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling. Sunday, February 9, 2014. Salt, Ice and the Sea. Most would say my temperament points at crab. I wouldn’t mind crab. Shore crabs are quick, industrious and even when in large groups go about their business alone. I can see myself as a fiddler crab menacing anything that comes my way with a claw bigger than my body. February 9, 2014 at 9:40 AM. By letting us in on the irony of your street name you gave the post a great ending! February 9, 2014 at 3:04 PM. I grew up in Westches...

Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling: Birds exploded from the soil to sing to me
http://openeyedscribbling.blogspot.com/2014/04/birds-exploded-from-soil-to-sing-to-me.html
Tony's Open Eyed Scribbling. Saturday, April 5, 2014. Birds exploded from the soil to sing to me. This is the last of the required entries for the nature writing class I’m taking, but not the last entry. Apacha’s adventures in the park with Kyle had me looking at my little dog differently. As Auggie has gotten older his walks have gotten shorter especially in winter since his coat is short and the cold hurts his arthritis. So what’s out there today? A suet holder and suet share the pole from which the fe...
