That… Which Matters Most

  • Lonely Chair, New Floor, Beautiful Sunset

    We had to put in a new floor, and yes, we had to. The old one had holes underneath it, was terribly warped, and it was like walking in sand dunes. Our contractor was able to level out the floor but gave us the warning that we could have to… Listen ⇢

  • FOTD — October 18 — Yellow Roses

    My wife bought these last week, and I couldn’t help snapping a few shots. I’m including this in Cee’s Flower of the Day challenge. Below, I also included the old man of the sea. All photos are copyright © Timothy J. Hammons, 2022. Listen ⇢

  • I Finally Finished Walking With Destiny

    Last night, I finally finished Andrew Roberts’ excellent book Churchill: Walking with Destiny. It took me more than a year to read it. I figure since it’s about Churchill’s life, I shouldn’t be able to fly through the book in a couple of months. After all, it took Churchill 91… Listen ⇢

    Nothing will send fear into a teacher’s heart more than the word “lockdown,” especially after the recent Uvalde massacre. It was a normal Tuesday when one of the aids from another class stuck her head in the door and yelled lockdown. I thought it was drill because I don’t have… Listen ⇢

  • Friday Night Lights, Down Home Reflections

  • CBWC: Texture

    Just a quick post to join Cee’s Black & White Challenge: texture. I had a few to share. This is our chandelier in our living room. Not sure if I like it. The wood grain gets my vote! The grass has actually greened up since I took this shot. All… Listen ⇢

  • First Fire in the Fire Pit

    Got home after work on Tuesday, and was tired. I didn’t feel like doing much, but sitting out on our back deck and enjoying the evening. I hadn’t planned on it, but the call of the empty fire pit was too much. So I started a small fire and enjoyed… Listen ⇢

  • That Moment…

    We had several of them. The moment where the busyness stopped. The visiting stopped. The running around all came to an end, and we enjoyed the moment together on the banks of the Watauga River, reading, and enjoying being together. All photos are copyright © Timothy J. Hammons, 2022.  Listen ⇢
