A 'lil HooHaa

Messing with the blogging world since 2005

fall

And that’s living in upstate New York in the fall…

October 25, 2016

So one day last week it was in the 70s and I was wearing shorts.

Just a few days later, it was freezing. And … saw this.

Brrrr!

Welcome to the fall

September 22, 2016

The temperature in my neck of the woods is supposed to top 80 degrees today.

This weekend, I’m hopping on a plane and heading the Los Angeles for three baseball games (my final of the year, and the first time I’m watching baseball so late in the season live) … and it’s supposed to be hot. But, at least it’s not supposed to be humid.

Of course, at the same time, my part of the country is supposed to cool down some. Maybe it will actually feel like fall.

Some trees are already starting to change colors. I’m hoping for some good images come this fall. We’ll see how that goes, right?

Either way, the fall is officially upon us. What kind of weather are you hoping for and what do you like most about the fall?

October 23, 2014

We had a nice season of foliage around here … and I didn’t take many photos. So I went with the best one I had.

Colors popping!

And here comes the fall

September 19, 2014

It seems like fall is coming, despite the calendar showing it to still be summer.

Don’t get me wrong – the days have been fine. Plentiful sunshine and nice temperatures have been the norm. Alas, the nights have gotten downright cold! But, I won’t complain as it makes it much easier to sleep, that’s for sure.

Are you all ready for the fall and the eventual winter?

This has been a pretty good summer – one not to complain about. I saw a lot of baseball (and I’m still finishing my Summer of Baseball Tour posts. I have a few left), got a little bit of geocaching in (not enough) and actually played a round of disc golf. And that’s saying something, considering I haven’t flicked Frisbees in a while!

I didn’t do a few things I wanted to do, such as visit Montreal, but there’s time for that in the future. I knew this summer was going to be filled with baseball and would curb some other things. And that’s fine as I don’t see me doing something like what I did this summer again – unless I win the lottery. It was fun, but it was hard to be going somewhere so often.

Then with softball and a few other things, it seems like the summer just flew by.

And now, the fall is soon upon us. In fact, it will officially be fall in just a couple of days. That means crisp nights, some (hopefully) great colors, and fall delicacies – like beer and foods.

I am planning my annual trek down to South Jersey in a few weeks, and I’ll enjoy that time away from the mainstream times that are often there. Hopefully, it will be a time to relax, geocache, take a few photos and enjoy being away for a few days.

I’d definitely like to get out a bit this fall and do a few things. I’ve done well with my diet and watching things, but as the summer ends, so do certain things I do outside. So I need to start figuring something else so I can keep somewhat active and such.

What kind of things do you all do during the fall?

Ten Things of Thankful: Life is pretty decent right now

October 20, 2013

Sometimes, in life, you have to stop, take a deep breath and realize there are things to truly be thankful for.

So, when offered the chance to get involved with this, I thought it was a good idea. I realize some bloggers will do this every week, but if I do posts like this, I look at it a couple of ways, besides having the chance to find some other good blogs to read:

  • I want it to be meaningful and from the heart.
  • It has to be things I’m truly thankful for.

Therefore, I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring. Maybe I’ll try and do this every couple of weeks and try and rotate it with my Soundless Sunday posts to have a little diversity. Or maybe I’ll do one of these every three weeks or so. Who knows. Basically, if I can find 10 certain things I’m thankful for at the time, I’ll do it up.

Anyhoo, without further ado, let’s check what kind of things I have to be thankful for at this moment in time, in no particular order.

1. Living 

This may seem like a cheesy way to start things off, but it’s true. Though my life isn’t going in the direction I’d truly like it to go right now, the reality is it could be much worth. So this encompasses many things — like realizing even though things aren’t great for me right now, I could be in much more dire need.

2. Family

Take a look at the news any day and you’ll find reports of dysfunctional families. Maybe it’s someone harming a parent or a child or siblings doing something bad. Though my family is far from perfect (and I’m sure we’d all admit it!), we get along, we stay pretty close and appreciate what we all can do. We support and we do what we can to help one another. And I’m not talking just immediate family, either. My extended family of cousins, aunts, uncles etc., are also quite close. That’s something I’ll always treasure and, as I get older, I appreciate it more and more.

3. Photography

I do like to spend time by myself and photography has always been a big part of times like that. There’s still nothing like going out with my camera, going for a walk and finding things to snap photos of, at least in my mind. I see things differently when I have my camera. I’m not sure what I would be like without having that in my life as it’s, at times, been a bit of a life-saver when it comes to me dwelling on things too much or going out and doing something.

Fall and photograph mix well together.

4. The fall

You know, there are parts of the country — and the world — where they don’t get to experience the four seasons. Living in the Northeast of the United States really gives me the chance to see all four — spring, summer, winter and fall. That also gives the chance to be able to go out and capture some great colors and such with the camera. As much as I’d love to move somewhere to experience life differently, this area affords the four seasons so well and I would truly miss it if I went elsewhere.

5. Good friends

There is no way I’d have been able to get through the past few years without good friends. While family is always a help, the reality is friends always play an important part in your life. For my closest friends, I consider them extensions of my family, anyway. So whether it’s going out for a beer, sitting down to shoot the shit for a few hours, going to a game or something else, I have a group of friends who have been absolutely amazing. They also know when or when not to ask about my job situation as it can become quite a drag to talk about. Friends are worth their weight and gold (though I’m not sure I could cash in? I kid, of course!)

6. Geocaching

Since becoming a major hobby in my life in 2008, this game has been so good to me. I’ve met some great people I call friends now, I’ve had some wild adventures and it’s allowed me to get outside, walk, hike and try and stay somewhat healthy. The reality is this game has been such a great thing. From the social aspect to being able to explore places I may have never seen without it, I’m highly thankful for it.

Geocaching has been good for my mind and body, so that’s something to be thankful for.

7. Health

I may not be the healthiest person in the world with some things, but for the most part, I’m doing pretty well. I can still get up, work, play, hike, bike, run, walk, play softball or whatever else. I may have to take a few meds, but I think most of the country has to! That being said, I know I have to work on some things (losing weight, just trying to be healthier overall) and I’m thankful I have the health to be able to work on it and try and improve things.

8. Blogging

Writing has always been something I’ve done. I’ve said it on this blog before, but I had my first newspaper story published when I was in seventh or eighth grade.  Though I’ve blogged since 2005, I really got into it and the whole aspect of it when I got laid off from the newspaper job in 2011. Now, it’s a secondary part of who I am and I love it. The community is amazing. The people I follow and read are ones I’m truly glad I found. And for those I’ve created more of a friendship with, it’s even better. I love the reality that there are people I consider pretty solid friends who I met through blogging.

9. Wrestling

OK, some may look at this and say … what the? But I have to put this here. Why? Because like other things, I’ve made some pretty good friends through it. And during a time when I needed it, it gave me a cheap form of entertainment and one where I had the chance to mix my love of photography. The independent world of pro wrestling has made it so I have something to look forward to seeing every month or three. And it truly is some fun entertainment.

10. Brewing beer

I end with this one. When I started doing it earlier this year, I didn’t know what to think. Now I know of more things I can do while brewing. Whether it’s ingredients, or hops or anything else — I have a better appreciation for beer. And I also like knowing I made something that doesn’t suck. Is it the best beer made? Nah. But I’ve made some pretty tasty ones and I look forward to making many more.

I guess the April Fool's joke is on us, Mother Nat I guess the April Fool's joke is on us, Mother Nature? Oh .. ha ha ha.

I also guess this is why hitting back roads to work is good -- you can stop and take a photo and not worry about anybody coming (usually)! Main roads around here are fine for now, but it's definitely quite picturesque on the lawns/trees etc.

I mean, if you hold a #Wrestlemania in an open stadium... eventually rain delays had to come, right? 🤣
