I wore several hats today, and the whole day has gone by quickly and exceedingly well. It was a fairly early start to the day, about 6:15. I kept peeking at the clock throughout the night, but don’t know what was waking me. We have a small population boarding, just Shadow K., Shadow Z., Pepper, … Continue reading
Now these are the very last of the Honey Crisp Apples. We have a relatively young tree which yielded about twenty pounds of sweet, crisp, and on average, large apples. We also have a Goodland or Battleford tree, which yields some fairly good eating/cooking apples, and a Norland tree which produces a lot of apples … Continue reading
It has been a relatively busy day in the grooming shop, but I didn’t feel terribly pushed. I was able to take a short lunch break, and mid-afternoon, I hurriedly threw two little chickens on the barbecue. For boarders, we have black labs Crockett & Boone, chocolate labs Lady & Duke, Smudge (who recently found … Continue reading
Well… it’s “sort of” done. This afternoon, I finished the job of tiling the huge shower stall at the new house. Grouting comes next and a bit of caulking at the floor. I’m pleased with the project: it’s not perfect, but I struggled hard (and long) and did my best. After I thought I was … Continue reading
This week has seemed busy, and I feel so tired and achy. I didn’t schedule any grooming for today, but instead attended the “Strawberry Tea” (a fund-raising function for the Hospital Auxilliary), shopped a little, and tended to the doggy and kitty guests. For some reason, I didn’t sleep well last night; I went to … Continue reading
I’ve neglected to Blog for a long time again. I hope nobody takes it personally; I’ve been pretty busy since Passover. I can’t believe it’s the middle of April already! I have a panicky feeling about the swift passage of time, not only by the week or the month, but by the season and the … Continue reading
I enjoyed such a wonderful weekend, celebrating my 60th birthday. Shelly, Susan and Kim were here, and they were the only family who came, but since they are the air I breathe, their visit MADE the occasion… along with Gary being here and orchestrating the Saturday night party, of course. I look kinda fat and … Continue reading
I’m so glad for Sunday breakfast! It seems like a rest, an oasis in the week. It’s not that I’ve been busy. You know, from me talking to you, that I have had a bit of a slow period, but this is changing. I wish I had a bigger boarding building; I look at my … Continue reading
Nothing terrible happened, but I sure didn’t have my usual groove today. The weather was sharp and breezy, until it was dark and rainy. Winter is coming and I wish we could just get on with it … the gloomy dampness and biting wind are oppressive. I just couldn’t seem to get my mojo going … Continue reading
For the life of me, I couldn’t decide what to call this post. Here it is, evening again, and though I didn’t work hard today, I’m tired. I cannot believe it has been almost a week since our Party; it took weeks to prepare for and then was over so fast. When I go into … Continue reading
