I looked out the kitchen window yesterday to see a flock of smallish birds on my deck. Then I looked up and found this fella foraging in the gutters. So that’s what they’re up to when we’re not home!
There is no charge for awesomeness!
See this photo? It’s important for two reasons. 1. It proves that I attended a tractor show. That in itself is a near miracle. So it had to be documented. (OK. I’ll admit that I did attend one when I was a teenager, but I wasn’t thinking straight back then.) […]
Yep, she’s worth it (although my husband might not agree)
We haven’t had a vacation this year. How unfair! Well, it’s mostly our fault. And partly the stinky economy’s fault. And that cat up there? It’s partly her fault too. Between her stomach issues and the dog’s arthritis and fractured tooth, we’ve shelled out some big cash this year. (The […]
Buzzkill
I’m not supposed to have caffeine anymore. Without going into major detail, it wasn’t getting along with my stomach. I had a slight panic attack at that news. Not because I’m a coffee addict, because I’m most definitely not. The majority of my caffeine comes from latte-type drinks four times […]
We don’t need no stinkin’ donuts!

It’s about all he talks about most days. As he sat there pushing them back and forth, sending them flying through the air, and careening them into each other, he was giving me a play by play. Constant chatter. And I must listen intently to every word of it or […]
Hear ye, hear ye!
This blog is nearly five years old. Wow! I’ve been having so much fun with it, but for a while now I’ve wanted to change things. I always held myself back because I wanted to be able to keep all of these entries going when I moved. That, though, requires […]
My new pad
I never really thought I’d ever abandon my old blog. Five years is a long time. I coded it, designed it, loved it all that time. But I’ve never been able to keep up with the Movable Type updates, or figure out how to back up my posts, or totally […]
Communing with nature
He found a lightning bug tonight. As we were playing cars on the front porch. He in his PJs. Me barefoot and snapping pics, of course. Summer. It’s when you can get away with such things. We’d come across one the night before too. A tiny little mite that seemed […]
