We did not get the predicted thunderstorms last night, though we did get rain. While I was out doing my morning rounds, I could hear thunder around us, and it was even starting to rain a bit by the time I was done. So, no work was done on the garden bed I'd started on … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: the weather was not willing

But it’s a good tired…
Okay, I just have to start with the obligatory garden photos. 😀 I took these yesterday. The largest seed head of the Mongolian Giant sunflowers is opening up beautifully. Still nowhere near the size a Mongolian Giant seed head should be, but we'll see what happens in what's left of our growing season. What amazed … Continue reading But it’s a good tired…

Never quite good enough, and bigger concerns
Before I get into my topic, here's a Ginger picture for you to enjoy! I interrupted his nap! 😀 Such a sweet baby boy he is! 🙂 Now, onto less fun stuff.

So frustrating!
Well, today - after three delays due to pandemic lock downs - I finally went to court for our restraining order application against our vandal. Only to find it was delayed for a fourth time.

This and that, and… why have my fonts changed?
I did some unexpected running around yesterday and didn't have a chance to post. Now that I am, I'm seeing that the title font in my editor has changed. I did not change the default font. I'm not even sure how I would do that! Well, we'll see if anything is different after I hit … Continue reading This and that, and… why have my fonts changed?

Cute stuff, and some productivity
Before I get into various things, I want to share some cute stuff with you, first! Our collection of baskets that had been stored in the big fish tank ended up on top of the piano for now. The cats love to go up there, so I fully expected them to take advantage of the … Continue reading Cute stuff, and some productivity

It’s still cold out there, and… on a more serious note
One of the first things I do in the morning, before heading outside to do my rounds, is check the weather. This morning, at a time when I would normally be starting to head outside, it was -36C/-32.8F Yeeeaaaaahhhhh.... No. I waited a couple of hours before heading out, but it was still -28C/-18.4F At … Continue reading It’s still cold out there, and… on a more serious note
