Coffee and Cigars

 Saturday, December 14, 2024

Coffee and a cigar in the back yard this morning. 

Romeo y Julieta

A few days ago I brought out the white pumpkin I bought back at Halloween and had been sitting on the porch. 

It's starting to turn orange. 

The moon was full by 4 pm when I lit up my afternoon cigar. This moon is the full Cold Moon. 

Camacho

Old Fashioned when I got inside to warm up. 

Thanksgiving Weekend

 Friday, November 29, 2024

Smoked a few smaller cigars today.

In the mid-20s but breezy and really raw. 

That's why I'm going with the smaller cigars so I'm not stuck outside for too long at any given time. 

Temps in the 20s aren't too bad if it's calm and sunny out but it's definitely not that today. 

Barky McBarkface next door was out of town today so at least it's been quiet. 

Looks like temps are gonna be this way for the foreseeable future.  

Can't believe November's just about over. 

MEA Weekend 2024 - More Mums

 Sunday, October 21, 2024

More mums!

After getting them potted I lit up a Romeo y Julieta and sat outside. 

Gorgeous weather (especially considering it's October). 

MEA Weekend 2024 - Raking and a Cigar

Saturday, October 19, 2024

Dale and I got some raking in today and we were pretty proud of ourselves because of it. 

We filled up a few leaf bags. 

Earlier we stopped at Bachman's for some mums.

Got 'em potted the old green pots which are starting to crumble. Oh well, I guess you could say  it's just a more rustic look. 

Maybe we'll stop again tomorrow and get some more. 

Rewarded myself with a cigar after the yard work. 

Had a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur #1, one of my favorites. 

MEA Weekend 2024 - Thursday

 Thursday, October 17, 2024

Cigar this afternoon while Dale went on a walk.

When he returned he sat down with me and we enjoyed the beautiful autumn afternoon. Dale commented on the sun being so much lower with the golden light it produces and how pretty it looks filtered through the colored leaves.

Today is the full Harvest moon. 

Visited with Marcia as she was heading out for a walk.  

She was wearing her Halloween get-up and looked quite cute.  

Cigar Time

 Sunday,  September 22, 2024

Perfect day for a cocktail and a cigar in the backyard. 

It's been an above average September temperature-wise. Previous months this summer were pleasantly average. Today we finally got some weather that appears as if fall may be approaching. 

Nice to get a leather jacket weather kind of day. 

Tiger Lilies

Other Tiger Lilies around the block are doing pretty well.

Ours are looking rather sparse.
