Child of Richard VI
In my last post, I wrote about our rooster, Richard VI, escaping from the fence. Before I wrote that post, he had escaped four times, and a fifth time as I was finishing it. Throughout that day, he kept escaping–so many times that we… Continue Reading “Child of Richard VI”
Outwitted
I’m an introvert. Introverts tend to have a rich inner world–especially INFJs like me. I always think that I live life on two levels: One level involves studying and pondering deep things and the other level involves mundane daily tasks, although “mundane” is actually… Continue Reading “Outwitted”

This morning began about 4 a.m. with Timmy insistently “mmfff, meow, mmrfff” in my ear, walking up and down my body, and occasionally leaping on me as if I’m a trampoline. He’s become a bit of an annoyance since Hannah Joy died and he… Continue Reading “A Brisket, A Basket”
Ridding and Reading
We made it through the month of April, with its heavy rains that caused massive flooding which invaded basements, washed out roads, destroyed bridges, created deep sinkholes, and threatened dams. Unlike others that had to deal with flood damage, we were unaffected by it… Continue Reading “Ridding and Reading”
