These guys are senior members of the Buck family that we’re seeing a lot of these days around our home. It looks like one is whispering to the other, something like “There they go again with the camera. Just look right at ‘em and don’t even smile…I wish they’d just leave us alone…” Deer can [...]

Dorothy from Field Stone Cottage tagged me for this meme. If you haven’t visited her blog yet, head on over and have a read. Before I begin the meme, I have to give you the rules first…

Me: “I think he’s probably younger than me.” (I’m not sure about that. At all.)

A couple of mornings ago, I moved my foot from the rim of our clawfoot tub back to the floor, and that simple, usual, lotion-applying movement turned me into a temporary invalid. When it’s absolutely necessary for me to move, I find myself doing the Tim Conway Old Man shuffle, if you remember that character [...]

If any of you are watching the Colorado Rockies vs Arizona Diamondbacks, you know that it’s been raining in Denver. We live at an altitude 2200 ft. higher than Denver, so instead of rain we had our first snowfall of the season. The ground is still warm and it melted as soon as it hit [...]
