Here’s Lester, always so happy to pose for a photo. Lovey and Riley. Poor Lovey has been pulling out her hair because she’s allergic to something. I can’t comfort her because she continues to be deathly afraid of me. Smoke from the Canadian wildfires...

It’s been almost three years since the world found out about Covid and I felt I was taking pleny of precautions. It was strange to not even get a cold in all that time. Last Tuesday, Dec. 6th, my friend Randy and I went to breakfast and he helped me pick out...

Why? How? I was looking at my May photos and I have a group that I processes on Photoshop but I can’t find them anywhere so I guess I didn’t manage to post them here yet. Whew. I’m happy to have time to sit down right now on this very very muggy and...

On our first day in Seattle, Wednesday, April 13th, we awoke to this grand view. The Olympic mountains were beyond the shore out there but we didn’t see them til Sunday. It was awesome to look out at the water, with many kinds of boats going to and fro all day....

I don’t think I’d ever seen Lovey being confident enough to sit on top of the kitty house, but there she was on June 15th looking very confident. But then, aha! Riley spotted her up there. He trotted right over as Lovey eyed him suspiciously…...

May 2nd, the first family of geese! I think there were about 10 babies. Kevin and I took a wonderful kayak ride that morning. I don’t know why I didn’t take pictures during our trip; we paddled all the way to the end of Long Bay, one of my favorite spots...

Last Saturday morning, April 3rd, Lovely bravely ventured out in the fenced yard. She’d done this with Kevin, but last Saturday she was so eager to get out that when I opened the door she screwed up all her courage to rush past me outside. She was delighted to...

Cerebral Volume Loss. Not something you want to read about, re: the state of your brain. But let me start at the beginning. Last Wednesday, March 24th, I was messing around the house, doing the stuff I usually do. I’d played a game on my iPad while drinking my...

The sun is shining, always a nice thing, but the temperature is going to start plunging tonight and it’ll be super duper cold for at least the week. Last night Kevin turned on the faucets in the bathrooms and opened the doors underneath so the pipes...

i didn’t manage to post many photos in November, so here a few of them now. I got this picture while standing on a ladder outside a bedroom window. Kevin had been taking Riley for a walk, but then Riley likes to try to run amok, in a fairly gentle and sedate...

I don’t know about you, but I could use some nice kitty pictures about now. So here they are. First – Kevin bought a cat grass kit, complete with darling little black and white kitty cup to plant the grass. They sprouted fairly quickly and all the cats...

I have a bunch of different photos here and then I’ll be moving on to the new year! Way back on December 5th I was going for a run next to the field and came across these deer. I stopped to take some photos and they stopped to see what I was doing there. In the...

The ground is covered in snow on this Sunday morning. The sun keeps peeking out, making everything gleam frostily. I’m happy to stay inside. Even though I do not like cold, I do not like winter, I can appreciate the snow once in a while as long as I don’t...

…are a few photos from september. I love this picture so much, Lovey sitting in front of my pelican/goose collection. Shortly after that she sprawled out on the floor so relaxed, at least for a moment. And then totally content! it didn’t last long, but she...

We went out on the boat yet again on July 16th and went farther into the infamous “hot ditch” next to the power plant than i’d ever been. usually there are plenty of fishing boats because the water is so warm there but since it was a week day, nobody...
