Lovely times in November
Well...so much snow since I was last here. It was about a foot. It warmed up enough so it's pretty much gone except for the giant piles in parking lots, but there's more snow expected late afternoon/tonight as well as Saturday. Kevin said to me, "well, it is winter," but I said, yes, but it's more like January or February weather. We normally have no snow at all in December and it's not so cold. But there it is. Meanwhile...here are some photos of the loveliness in November, pre-snow. Frequently the deer seem like they're posing. Spot was so happy to be out and about mid-September. Kevin and...

Electrified
The funny thing is, it was challenging to write that last post while we had no power because I had to do it on my ipad. I finally finished it at about 7:50 in the evening and proceeded to water the...
One more Very Important thing
This is what I forgot to post- through all of this, feeling crazy and stumbling around in the dark and everything, Kevin has been a rockstar. Calm and cool and keeping the generator running and just...
Powerless
At about noon last Thursday, June 29th, the emergency sirens went off. We immediately began herding cats, always a thrilling event. The rain started coming down and we didn’t have time to look out...
I mean, really,
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...
In the Merry Merry Month of May
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...
Clarity
Two weeks ago Kevin had cataract surgery on his left eye, which was the worst in terms of not being able to see. He'd had a vitrectomy on Dec. 9th, where they sucked all the fluid out of his eye and...
Les Again plus Other April Stuff
First of all - yet another Les Paul Crisis, this on Saturday. Early in the morning Kevin went off to an all day event and when I got up I went upstairs to sit with Pumpkin and then did a bunch of...
Mostly all about Lester
Let me just start by saying that this story has a good ending...however, I started writing it on Monday April 3rd and I feel like I haven't sat down since then. This is ridiculous, of course - I...
First Day of Spring
OK then, first day of spring and I'm having a serious problem trying to get off the couch. I woke up early, planning on getting so much done...and now it's almost noon and not much accomplished so...
