Happy new year…
Well...a new year. Here we are. Where did December go, you ask? Not entirely sure. Anyway, here's a dazzling photo of the sunrise way back on Dec. 22nd.

Hot Heat
That's how hot it is now. Hot hot heat. Yesterday the heat index said it felt like 122. I mean, c'mon. I kept going outside and my glasses kept fogging up. Good grief. When I got home from the...
July,

Kitties and smoke in June
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...
