“Come Little Leaves…”
Autumn is here! Every day is beautiful in autumn, no matter what the weather is. I like rainy autumn days because I feel cozy. I like sunny autumn days because the sunshine lights up the colorful trees. The two maple trees in our front… Continue Reading ““Come Little Leaves…””
Autumn Chores
Autumn has arrived and the leaves are changing colors, although they aren’t yet as beautiful as they will be in a few weeks. Even though we’ve had some warmish days, they feel cooler. The nights are definitely cooler–some nights the temperature has dipped into… Continue Reading “Autumn Chores”
The Hospice Store
Today was a splendiforous day. I love that word. It just rolls off the tongue. It means magnificent and wonderful. After JJ had left for school, EJ and I set off to the hospice store in a nearby town. The hospice store is a thrift… Continue Reading “The Hospice Store”

NOOOOOOO!
Last night I saw that Timmy has worms. Will the nightmare never end? I woke in the night thinking that we needed to give worm medicine to all the cats, and wondering how we could afford it. I called the vet this morning and… Continue Reading “NOOOOOOO!”
Scarborough Tea
I thought today was going to be a difficult day because I stayed up much too late with EJ and I got up much too early with JJ. I like to greet EJ when he comes home from work and I like to fix… Continue Reading “Scarborough Tea”
“Define Interesting”
My family’s conversations are filled with quotes from favorite movies. Star Trek, Star Wars, The Princess Bride, and others are filled with very quotable quotes. If we see a beautiful full moon, one of us will say, “Wow! Look at that moon!” Another will… Continue Reading ““Define Interesting””
