After a relatively quiet weekend at the Pet Hostel, it has not taken too much to “dig out” and start my week. By that I mean … picking up and washing bedding, cleaning kennels and that kind of thing, in addition to the usual feeding and watering, walking (at times) and loving. We still have … Continue reading

Fatigue …
Today I really, really hit the tiredness wall. This is nothing serious, and I’m not even sure what has caused me to be more fatigued this afternoon than many other days. Yesterday, Gary politely suggested I put an ad on the McBride Facebook Buy & Sell page, to sell what was left of the garlic. … Continue reading
Good morning …
I’m awake and chatting with you instead of sleeping, but I couldn’t sleep past 5:30. There’s no reason that I know of that I awoke early, but I felt that I had slept soundly and long enough.

Pay the piper…
I visited the new house this morning, and there was not a soul around. However, yesterday was a beehive of activity, and the ceiling got insulated (blown in with a rented machine and MANY bales of environmentally friendly, fire resistant cellulose material). The shower stall also got lined with a new product called Diamond Board. … Continue reading
We can only eat so much green stuff…
… or in fact, other produce. At this time of year, we feel so lucky to have a garden and the means to process and preserve FOOD. Even so, it can get overwhelmimg. The days are gone that I participate in Farmer’s Markets. Jam-making on a large scale is a thing of the past, and … Continue reading
