I was surprised to see a small flock of these lovelies this morning. No more than 25 birds. I heard honking, but a different sort of call that the Canadian Geese which love Maryland. And I was like, “I’ll be darned, those are snow geese” I didn’t know there was an Eastern Migration Route- they [...]
Please Fed-Ex me a Giant Anteater! Ain’t he cute? And it’s just what I need.
The kitchen is being overrun with Giant Ants! Big aggressive, getting into everything ants…..we’ve had ants before but never in Winter. This reminds me of yet another advantage of renting vs. purchasing your home. It’s good to be able to [...]
My dear husband is on a first name basis with all the local television newsbabes. We’ll be watching the weather report and he’ll come out with remarks like “Candace looks hot in that outfit” Hmmmph. I pay them no mind. I know it’s all “image” and I call them “unremarkable blondes” Local television personalities must [...]
Now it can be told Mr. Pyrate went out of town on February 6 for some technical training in the wild suburbs of Chicagoland. Meanwhile the dogs and I had the adventure of facing the SECOND big snowstorm (sort of) alone. I was saved from being snowbound by our neighbor next door. We let [...]
There was canine weirdness with Tesla last week when we had the second big storm.
Monday morning he woke up throwing up (eeeewwww) My reaction was “good grief Puppy, what did you eat now?” He’s terrible about stealing goodies out of the waste basket. I figured as long as he kept drinking a bit of [...]
Oh hi! The other blizzard was last Friday/Saturday. And then we had another one Tuesday/Wednesday. I’m getting used to it. But hey, what about that SNOW in Florida?????
We just ordered a new camera and it arrived this morning. I haven’t quite figured it out, but I got some pictures uploaded.
This is the homestead with 40 [...]
Well, a BIG snow anyhow. So far, the heat and the lights are staying on, so it’s a day of enforced rest except for first responders, medical people and grocery store clerks!
Got some action shots!
This is the front end of Pyrate’s truck….the lump next to it is my little car- buried!
This is the front yard. [...]
I’m depressed about my shoe size. 10 D
I used to be an 8 1/2 B, but feet grow to accommodate weight- big bummer. Online shopping really helps because I can’t just walk into a shoe store and find my size. 10’s are hard to find in general. My theory is the young people (in their [...]
Happy 74th Birthday to Alan Alda.
It’s the 24th anniversary of the sad, shocking day the Shuttle Challenger blew up.
Today is the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas, who lived in the 13th Century.
I’m reading Stonehenge by Bernard Cornwell. It’s interesting, and reminds me of a James Michener novel, or certainly Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd- another [...]
Today I’m making up a Meme of FOOD I can’t get anymore and now and then a craving hits me. If you want to play along, make a list of 10 items and the reason you haven’t satified this culinary craving in a long time.
1. Fresh Halibut - my Dad would go on fishing trips [...]
