My Labor Day

I slept late and we are having a quiet day.  This is what I woke up to at 9 a.m.

This was not night time.  This was out my front door at 9 am and we don’t have fires to blame.

With the cool nights all summer in Indiana, the marigolds are about the only thing left, [...]

The wild life ain’t wild anymore

It’s so beautiful out today.  I love this property, with all the trees waving in the wind and the two fawns that have taken up residence (I think their mom might have died in a car crash).  Poor babies are eating all the red tomatoes and yellow roses.  They do not like the pink roses.  [...]

Alone time: broken car, broken icemaker, live snake

Sorry, for the long absence. We have the log off our roof now. That’s good. I reformatted my computer, hoping to improve my Dial-up Access, but that is not working so well. I never get on to AOL with the first try and, when I do get on, other things seem to be constantly running [...]

I am working industriously on the book [...]

The ground is saturated here, in Indiana.  This morning, on the local news, there was a picture of an SUV, in Indianapolis, being swept away by the rain.  It rolled and tumbled and was pretty much being demolished in the water that swept over the road.  Lesson:  Never drive over a road with swift water [...]

Weird habits of Irritating Little Chihuahua

We are having our spring rains.  It is the time of year when we have to trench away from EMT’s room so the water doesn’t pour in, and when our phone lines become party lines.  Irritating Little Chihuahua does not like the rain. 
 
She used to hate the thunder and lightning, and then I got [...]

Crazy Aunt Purl and neighbors.

I just love Crazy Aunt Purl, although I am a little miffed lately because she has had to cut off comments and sometimes there is  something I just want to tell her or comment to her and I can’t and that is why, like Crazy Aunt Purl, I would like to stab someone repeatedly with [...]

Fear of forks

 
No, this is not a picture of my new diet plate.  The food pictured is for Irritating Little Chihuahua.
She is feeling a bit better this morning.  I think that waking me up repeatedly during the night was good for her appetite.  She wants to eat but she is afraid of silverware. She does not want [...]
