After yet another busy Pet Hostel weekend, I got back into the garden. Even though Gary and I keep downsizing, for example, “just one package of carrots, only one row of peas …”, a single package of 100 onion sets. You get the idea. It’s all good food but takes time to “put by”. This … Continue reading
My darling sister, my only sibling, is not likely to read this blog, so I’ll share with you the completed quilt I made for her.

We have Ule and TJ until tomorrow, and Dawson and Takwa, Bodhi, Cooper, Mr. Lewis, Natty, Joey, Maggie and Shadow. I groomed Cole … Continue reading
