Christmas in July

     While we're on the subject of bike rides, here's a picture from another outing last week.

Spring Awakenings

Anyone with any sense will be outside today.

Reality Check

It seems every ladies magazine I pick up has a spread on tablescapes.

O Tannenbaum!

Christmas trees can be as varied as people - tall, short, round, elegant, and sometimes just sad. 

At our house we’ve proved that Charlie Brown doesn’t have a monopoly on quirky.

Lawn thoughts

Blogs are wonderful things. 

It provides a place to share those thoughts that roll across your mind as you're driving to the library. 

Today's are about front yards. 

Double Defense

I rarely comment on events in the news, but sometimes you just have to share a thought to be free of it.

Dinosaurs and Soup Bones

We’ve put another turkey under our belts, caught up on family news, and again have a renewed interest in leafy greens and a non-carb diet.

Thanksgiving Villanelle

Yes, last year's Thanksgiving entry is back again since:

a. Now I don't have to come up with anything new
b. I might as well get a bit more use out of this poem.

Tradition!

“Just because something is traditional is no reason to do it, of course.”

― Lemony Snicket

Thanksgiving Villanelle

I thought it was high time we had a little culture around here.

Beware of Little Girls Bearing Candy

Halloween is over for another year and yesterday was pretty much the same as in the past. Anyone on foot wanting to visit our house must first travel up a fairly busy road that climbs the small mountain we have here in town. After about ¼ mile they turn onto a dead-end street of six houses and then turn again to our street of three houses, also a dead-end. Not the most fertile territory for efficient candy-gathering. And it was raining last night.
