Dorie’s Different Reality

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon,
And sweet magnolias lined those country roads.
We burned a tank of love most every weekend,
And on work days I helped ‘em fix the roads.
Our friends were many and our dreams were certain,
Whoever thought we’d go our separate ways.
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon,
And love was […]

We  have weather dogs. They have a forecast in for today. Great day for sleeping. They got up when we did, conducted their business, and went back to sleep! Didn’t even have a bit of kibble. Drizzle makes the cabbage grow, so it’s fine with me.
David Crosby (the singer) made a profound observation in […]

Hi- I want to show you the BIG cherry tree! This is the bird and chipmunk buffet. It’s regular sweet cherries. The tree is just so big I don’t seem to reach many of the cherries. You know those bucket trucks the electric company drives? I guess there’s a reason they are […]

Styleygeek has a little memeage on her blog today: taking a photo of her actual blog area. I wasn’t tagged- but it looked fun! So here, in all it’s splendor, is a photo of Mission Control, with optional bag of dog biscuits! Feel free to grab a camera and play along! I may come back […]

Another technological leap! Netflix offers a “Watch Now” service and I finally used it. Watched the first two episodes of the “new” Doctor Who on the computer. I sat in the computer desk chair working on the sock I just started. Pretty cool. Our monitor is about five years old, and it’s probably obsolete. But […]

We’re having a mini-Monsoon! The weather was glorious on Saturday. A “Spring is here” and open the windows kind of day. Then Sunday, it started raining. I now know the difference between “showers” and “rain”. Rain is when it stays around for two days! No complaints s’rously! We need the rain. Down in Southern […]

Just for fun sometime, Google the phrase “What’s happened to Spring?” Lots of people are asking this question. Two weeks ago I was excited because Spring was just around the corner. Actually it was well above freezing, but still rainy and certainly too muddy to garden. I’m not kicking that much. Last summer’s drought was […]

I want twin beds. If there were a fence between the two beds, perhaps with an electric fence it would be perfect.
All this marital togetherness is going to be the death of me! Back when we were 20 somethings, we were thinner and there was more room in the bed!
It seems to be my […]

Sunday’s “offended sensibilities” post rebuking Senator Obama’s comments about bitter small town Americans (like me) has been deleted.
In much more important news. A short network newscast about the state of things in the rest of the world:

How about a Meme? I saw this one on Whispering Hope’s blog. Looks fun, so I’ll play too:The Name Game
