Grandma’s Feather Bed (And Darth Luke)
I hope each of you have a restful, peaceful, and delightful Christmas Day! Last night when EJ and I got into bed, Hannah Joy jumped into bed between us. Ah, well, we let her. I’m not sure we could have prevented her, but we… Continue Reading “Grandma’s Feather Bed (And Darth Luke)”
Life at the Post
I took a beautiful photo of Josette sitting on the gate post in the blue-ish early morning light. I am totally in love with sweet, beautiful Josette. I am delighted at how she joins me each time I go out to care for the… Continue Reading “Life at the Post”
Winter Magic
Yesterday JJ chauffeured me around to complete various errands. It was snowing quite hard and the roads were snow-covered and slippery at times. Our first stop was to the hospital in a nearby town to pick up my new eye glasses. I think it’s… Continue Reading “Winter Magic”
Murdick’s and the Mall
December 1 (Friday) was EJ and my 27th anniversary. We were going to celebrate our anniversary on Saturday and I was going to plan something awesomely fun because there have been many years when we weren’t able to do much to celebrate. A time… Continue Reading “Murdick’s and the Mall”
Thanksgiving and After
On Thursday I had planned to wish all my USA readers a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! but I was so busy preparing our meal that I never got around to it. Oops. Sorry. But I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. EJ helped me prepared our… Continue Reading “Thanksgiving and After”
Pre-Thanksgiving Prep
Miss Madeline Meadows has been piling up the kills. Monday she left a shrew on the mat near her food and water bowls. When I went out to feed the garage cats yesterday morning, there was a dead mouse lying there. A short time… Continue Reading “Pre-Thanksgiving Prep”
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”
November Fun
Today was EJ’s extra birthday celebration so he got to decide how to spend the day. It’s rather fun calling our weekend adventures our “birthday celebrations” because it focuses us on taking turns celebrating each other and it feels more special than just thinking… Continue Reading “November Fun”
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”
Introducing Josette
This morning EJ and I adopted the newest member of our family. We had intended for the new cat to join Annie and Madeline in the garage so this morning I closed off the pet door after I made sure that both cats were… Continue Reading “Introducing Josette”
Raindrops Keep Falling…
It’s been raining, raining, raining, non-stop since Sunday afternoon. Day and night we hear the pitter-patter drumming of rain on our roof. We’ve had 5-6 inches of rain so far and it is still raining. The weather forecast shows clearing on Thursday and then… Continue Reading “Raindrops Keep Falling…”
Home Work
I found another dead shrew inside the garage this morning. This is the third shrew Madeline has killed. She always leaves her “gifts” in the same place, just inside the garage’s back door. With Madeline on the job, we won’t have much of a… Continue Reading “Home Work”
The Quiet Area
Today we celebrated EJ’s birthday. His official birthday isn’t until the end of March, but we have so many fun adventures on my birthday, which is in early October, that we decided we would take turns celebrating our birthdays throughout the year. I mean,… Continue Reading “The Quiet Area”
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”
