Stranger Things
EJ and I enjoy watching movies and TV programs together on Netflix or Amazon Prime. For the last week or so, we have been watching a Netflix series called Stranger Things. I’ve never liked scary horror movies so I wasn’t going to watch it, but I’ve… Continue Reading “Stranger Things”
Enchanting Critters
I had to laugh yesterday when several hours after EJ had left to go hunting on the other side of the state, I looked out of the window and saw four deer standing on the hill on our own five acres. I sent him… Continue Reading “Enchanting Critters”
Dramas in the Enchanted Forest
This is the second morning that I’ve gotten up before 5 a.m. Yesterday morning Kee-Kee woke me by pawing at my head. This sounds weird, but I am very sensitive to light at night and if someone turns on a light anywhere in the… Continue Reading “Dramas in the Enchanted Forest”
Stories in Black and White
I have been participating in a Facebook challenge. This may seem like a no big deal, whatever, kind of thing, but I almost never, never, ever participate in group challenges. Never. This might be the first, in fact. I recognize and accept that a lot… Continue Reading “Stories in Black and White”
Home Again, Home Again
Yesterday was a very beautiful day. When I wasn’t doing other tasks, I sat in my chair by the window and crocheted as I watched the leaves flying off the trees. Watching falling leaves fills me with joy. I just figured out how to… Continue Reading “Home Again, Home Again”
Cats, Deer, and Other Stuff
We had a beautiful mix of winter and autumn on Tuesday, but by Wednesday the snow had disappeared and we were back to autumn. The trees are still beautiful but they are becoming barer as the leaves fly off. The delightful thing about… Continue Reading “Cats, Deer, and Other Stuff”
When Autumn Meets Winter
This morning, not long after I got out of bed, EJ asked, “Have you looked outside yet?” I know that that always means that we’ve gotten snow. After EJ left for work, I fed all the cats–both inside and outside ones–and then I put… Continue Reading “When Autumn Meets Winter”
Six Degrees of Comfort
Yesterday was chilly and I was cold. I don’t know if I was so cold because the weather went from “warm enough to wear t-shirts” to “cold enough to wear a winter coat and hat” in just a few days. Or maybe the dampness… Continue Reading “Six Degrees of Comfort”
Autumn Joy
Today was an absolutely beautiful autumn day. The sun was shining and the sky was the shade of deep blue that only occurs in the autumn. The warm winds were 15 to 20 mph with gusts as high as 30 mph. The leaves flew… Continue Reading “Autumn Joy”
Shrewed Discovery
I named yesterday’s post, “The Killing of the Shrew” because “shrew” made think of Shakespeare’s play, “The Taming of the Shrew.” Last night I asked EJ if he knew why a “shrew” is a description of “a bad-tempered or aggressively assertive woman.” Are the… Continue Reading “Shrewed Discovery”
Autumn Activity
On Friday evening we were planning to visit EJ’s friend and his wife. They live further downstate but were camping this weekend at a campground near us. EJ met the man on Facebook and they went fishing together this summer. EJ says he’s a… Continue Reading “Autumn Activity”
Plum Crazy
I’ve gone kind of “sign crazy.” I’ve been having a lot of fun making cute little signs. I’m getting low on wooden letters so I’ve been constructing new letters out of old letters–like making an “R” into a “P” or a “Y” out of… Continue Reading “Plum Crazy”
Enchanted Signs
Our cat Tesla was so old that she didn’t have many teeth left so a couple of years ago we started to buy canned cat food for her. After she died last year, we kept buying the canned food. Every morning I put a… Continue Reading “Enchanted Signs”
Magical Mist
All throughout today–and even through the evening–the rain poured, then stopped, poured, then stopped, as if someone was repeatedly turning a faucet on and off. When it rained, it rained hard. At times patches of blue briefly appeared through holes in the clouds before… Continue Reading “Magical Mist”
F(r)oggy Memories
Today arrived with blue skies and sunshine after two days of heavy morning fog. I like fog. It wraps everything with mystery. But sunshine is nice too. The temperatures have been getting cooler–during both the day and the night. We are wearing sweatshirts and… Continue Reading “F(r)oggy Memories”
