Let's start by enjoying this lovely photo I was able to get this morning. There were two bees on this sunflower, busily pollinating! A nice, cheerful burst of sunshine. I feel like I need it right now. I had intended to use my mother's car to run some errands in town today, just to get … Continue reading Appreciate the beeauty

Frazzled
Oh, my goodness, what a day! Also, I owe my daughter a new tent. !!! Today was the day we were planning on having an outdoor family gathering to celebrate 3 birthdays and an anniversary.

An unexpected outing
You know those times when you suddenly think of someone, and how you should talk to them... and then the phone rings, and it's that person you were thinking about? Yeah.

Melting
It was a hot day to be taking my mother for her medical appointment in a van with no air conditioning! It was already cooling down when I took the above screencap. 28C/82F, with the humidex bringing it to 35C/95F From the weather radar, I don't expect to get that predicted thunderstorm; it appears to … Continue reading Melting

A hint of what this August looks to be like
Today, the girls held down the fort while I headed out early to take my mother for a doctor's appointment - her first since things were just starting to shut down. Most appointments were being cancelled - thankfully, not hers - and they were only doing phone appointments. The clinic is still doing "walk ins" … Continue reading A hint of what this August looks to be like

I got rained on a … Continue reading Evening round up

Plans? What are those?
First, I wish to share with you this image of domestic bliss I get to enjoy from my office chair of late. Just look at those blue, blue eyes! And the little guy, splayed on his back. We had been calling him Nicky Pants, but it looks like we've settled on Nicco for a name. … Continue reading Plans? What are those?

Those plans went out the window…
Today started out normal enough. I did my rounds, as usual, including checking on the kittens. Beep Beep is getting more comfortable with leaving them to sleep while she gets some needed sustenance - and some cuddles! 🙂 I was just settling down to upload the trail cam files when I got a phone call … Continue reading Those plans went out the window…

Some furry visitors, and getting a call
I happened to look out the window, and saw this. Looks like the deer found something to snack on, as the top of our compost pile thaws out! There would be all sorts of vegetable and fruit peels there right now. If there were deer at the compost, I figured there might be some at … Continue reading Some furry visitors, and getting a call
