…and we’re already into April. How do I never have time to just sit at my laptop, typing in stuff? I must make more time for this. I don’t know how. Eventually, maybe, I’ll figure it out. Meanwhile…way back at the beginning of March we...

How how how did it get to be the last week of March? It’s because no matter what, time keeps marching on. Here’s Les on Feb. 16th as a deer approaches the feeder. The next day the deer was right up at the feeder as Les looked on. On Feb 21st the snow was...

January – well, it’s over. We had some bitterly bitter cold and I ended up in the ER for a record-breaking third time. It was because of the high heart rate with Afib again, but then I got to see a new Electrophysiologist last week, is a heart doctor who...

it’s not even summer yet, so I just need to calm down about the yard work. The weeds will always be there, I don’t need to pull them all right this minute. It rained a bit this afternoon so that gave me an excuse to stop with the yard work for the day. I...

Busy, so busy. I need to take some time to go for some relaxing and calming boat rides, instead of being a total maniac about getting everything on my very long “spring 2023” list accomplished. It’s not like we’re having a big garden party...

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...

Hmm, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this kitty enclosure before…this is how it started out on November 14th. Kevin put clear plastic around the legs of an outdoor table and boards on top of it, plus cushions inside. That, together with the old red...

Spot and I spent many evenings enjoying the lake from the dock. Here we are on November 4th. The trees on November 8th as I went for a run. Two days later they were so vibrant. And they looked even more so by the 11th! At 4:30 that afternoon, Spot and I watched a...

Kevin took this photo of Spot in our attached garage. When I first glanced at the picture, I thought, “where on earth is that messy place?” And was chagrined to realize that it’s our garage. Soooo much stuff…but maybe a lot of it is just empty...

As I mentioned previously, Kevin bought a great big shed Sunday Aug. 1st. It came in a big box, but the box was smaller than I thought it’d be to hold such a giant shed. It required a whole lot of assembly. Here’s the bottom 12 x 12 frame. Spot helped him...
