Continuing on with May…
Hmm, as usual the month seems to be slipping away. While I was trying to clean up the hot tub room at the beginning of the month, Les felt that the mos comfortable place to lie down was on top of this tub lid full of dirt. We had more lilies of the valley than ever before blooming in front. I love them and wish they'd last a little longer. This mix of plants that my family got me a couple of years ago had been over-wintering pretty well but once I put it outside, the fuschia went crazy. I love that flower, not quite as much as a bleeding heart, but it's a close second, plus it keeps blooming...

St. Louis Canyon at Starved Rock
We hiked to the St. Louis Canyon on our third and final day at the park. But first, here's a photo of the lodge lobby. It's very rustic. This hike is nice because it's near the cabins so very quick...
Starved Rock, Day Two
They had a special winter promotion at the lodge, a reduced rate plus a $15 dollar coupon for breakfast for breakfast both mornings, so that was nice. We started our day with a delicious lodge...
Starved Rock
Kevin and I took a trip, yaaay for that! A short one, two nights, to Starved Rock, where we'd gone to in Nov. 2023. This time, though, BEV WAS BACK to watch over our very very large herd of cats....
Really Wrapping up January…
Finally, finally, getting out of January - here's sweet little Sweetie, enjoying a sunbeam. I finally hung the xmas lights around the perimeter of the garage, and they make me very happy, indeed....
The Last of the First Month…
Let's get onto April already, or better yet, May! I'm realizing that there are too many photos to post right now, so this isn't actually the last of the first month, it's the second to last. In the...
Marching on through the Wintertime
Although it's supposed to be in the 60s today, whoo hoo for that! But it's a one-day-only kind of thing. Oh well. We'll take what we can get. Also I have a ridiculous amount of stuff to accomplish...
More from January, almost exclusively Riley
Here's Riley on Jan. 4th. I feel like he hadn't been sitting in so many funny positions before, or maybe I just never paid enough attention, which is always a good possibility with me since I...
January, mostly cat-related,
Because that's what I'm all about, aren't I? A Complete Crazy Old Cat Lady. But there it is. Anyway, earlier in the month I suggested to Kevin that we see how it'd be if we gave Pumpkin to Mom. I'd...
The Lake
I can't believe how much has happened since I posted here last, but right now here's a great video that Kevin took this morning. He posted on his own site, which he doesn't do so often, but they...
