It is fairly quiet for a moment or two around here. I’m mentally preparing for a bit of an onslaught of the most welcome kind. Just this morning, I’ve had three new reservations for boarding for the Labour Day Weekend coming up, and we have room, and we are flexible. This morning, Zippy came for … Continue reading
This has been such a good day. The weather has changed, for now, for the better. Any day that I can bath and brush Timber is a good day. Isn’t she a beauty? She is among the most photogenic creatures of all… When I had finished Timber’s “spa treatment”, I wanted to go to … Continue reading
The following is from a couple of days ago. I’m having trouble settling down to “blogging” … more apologies/contrition ahead: ************************************************************ I intend to reread my post after the effects of a little wine has worn off. Okay, more than a little wine … a recipe (Tuscan Garlic Shrimp) I made for Gary for dinner … Continue reading
It’s 1:15 and I can’t sleep. It’s odd that sometimes I can drink coffee until late in the evening, and then other times, one cup after supper will keep me awake. It’s fine… I will ramble to you for a little while and then try again. I had some work of the best kind over … Continue reading
Crazy how fast the days and weeks fly by. It snowed again today. I refuse to post more pictures of April SNOW showers. I want to be digging and planting soon, and our main garden is still under snow, and most of the perennial beds are still partially frozen. It would be pretty icy to … Continue reading
What a pleasant day it has been. The weather is mild, chickens laid two eggs, and those two details made a great start. While waiting for Timber to arrive for grooming, I played a few games on the iPad and sorted a pile in the spare bedroom. What a voyage of discovery, or re-discovery that … Continue reading
A few days ago, after due deliberation, I made the decision not to attend two funerals. Carol’s was on Saturday and Ben’s, today. Except for Dunster Farmer’s Market and our regular Sunday brunch, I feel like “hiding out”. As if I’ve been hiding out. Although it is always special to hear from members of a … Continue reading
We don’t have big plans, and that’s just fine. I finished grooming at about 3 o’clock and felt too tired to go to town to bank, get mail, and shop. On the other hand, dinner is in the oven and smelling SO good! Tomorrow there are “Pioneer Days” events in our little town, and starting … Continue reading
Wally and Clemina are both large Great Pyrenese cross dogs, not related but part of the same human family. They are both very respectful and quite easy going. Below are Duke and Timber. Duke is getting to be an “old timer” … quite deaf and sedate. He doesn’t suffer while he stays here: just hangs … Continue reading
Oh, my goodness, there is SO much to eat around here! While we’ve been growing and preserving food, and buying local meat, I have too many options for meals, including desserts. I simply had to render the home-rendered lard into pastry. I didn’t go hog wild. For Shelly, I made Fireball Whiskey pumpkin pie, and … Continue reading
