Timey Wimey, Wibbly Wobbly

This morning I woke up and looked at the digital alarm clock to check the time. It said that it was 5:99 a.m. And then as I watched, it turned to 5:98…5:80… 5:40…5:99…I rubbed my eyes and looked again, and the clock was still… Continue Reading “Timey Wimey, Wibbly Wobbly”

Hermits

EJ has a very beautiful drive into work every morning. He gets to drive through forests and along the coast. This morning he texted me that the sunrise was gorgeous. Alerted, I took my camera outside with me when I went to let the… Continue Reading “Hermits”

Chicken Bling

Usually October is my most favorite month, but this October was difficult at the beginning and has continued to be difficult though the middle. Ugh. On November 1st I might throw a “I Survived October” party…assuming that I actually do survive it. We usually… Continue Reading “Chicken Bling”

Surviving October

October is usually my most favorite month. I love the vibrant colors of the trees and the pumpkins and other squashes. I love the wind making the leaves twirl and dance. I love the look of harvested fields. I love the sunshine highlighting the… Continue Reading “Surviving October”

Tesla & Esther

The week was eventful with both good and bad in it, and happy and sad. It started out rough, but got better as the week progressed and ended well. JJ doesn’t really know what he wants to do with his life, so he is… Continue Reading “Tesla & Esther”

The Things That Bring Me Joy

Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting

It’s looking very November. One afternoon last week EJ, Danny, and I walked through one of our little meadows and into the forest on our way back from the mailbox.  In the meadow we saw an area of flattened grass where EJ said the… Continue Reading “Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting”

Our Life So Far

We have done a lot of thinking and discussing and planning and doing since last week when we realized that with the extra expenses, we are going to run out of money sooner than later and we will need a bit more income. We… Continue Reading “Our Life So Far”

November

Last week we had a lot of blustery rainy days which blew most of the leaves off the trees. There are just a few determined leaves hanging on. It is looking very November-ish now with bare trees and gray skies. Even though it’s not… Continue Reading “November”

Bare Trees

I woke up this morning with a lot of congestion and a deep cough. My neck also felt itchy–and I realized that I had been scratching it in my sleep. I looked in the mirror and saw that I have a rash that looks… Continue Reading “Bare Trees”
