Yesterday was our day to do our monthly shop, which always makes for a long day. We actually decided not to do a full shop, though, and will go back later in the month. Specifically, we didn't get all the cat kibble and litter we usually do. It gets really hard to pack the van … Continue reading Long Day

On Ice
Oh, what a gorgeous day it has been, today! Warm enough that, after dropping my daughter off at work, I went and parked by the beach and actually went walking. The lake and beach were very busy. There is an ice structure on the beach right now, and many people drive right up on the … Continue reading On Ice

Spiky guests, and not quite done with the car thing…
First up, I just wanted to share one of the photos I managed to get yesterday evening. The two bucks I saw in the trail cam finally came by when we were there to see them, and get photos! Still too dark to use the DSLR on its tripod, with the lens I have on … Continue reading Spiky guests, and not quite done with the car thing…

Done!
Oh, finally! My mom's car is DONE! Also, as I didn't have to go anywhere early in the morning, it was actually daylight when I started my rounds, and I could get some photos. I always start with bringing fresh water to the cats, and topping up their food bowls. Beep Beep was, of course, … Continue reading Done!

One step at a time
Today, I took our van in again to get that noise checked. Thankfully, I was able to also tell the garage to go ahead and fix my mother's car; she will pay for it. He still hadn't had time to look for the wheels my brother wanted it to be switched to at the time, … Continue reading One step at a time

Some good things, some pretty things, some WTF? vehicle things
The last couple of days have been... trying. But also beautiful. We warmed up enough for the trees to be covered in frost that is still there. Then we got a gentle snowfall. Today was bright and sunny, the trees looked like picture postcards, and everything was sparkling. It all looked quite lovely. The girls … Continue reading Some good things, some pretty things, some WTF? vehicle things

How things are this morning
After our adventure last night, I'm rather impressed by my current lack of pain this morning! 🙂 I expected to at least be stiffening up by now, but at the moment, there's just some minor tension in my neck and shoulders. I'm taking pain killers, anyway, but that's really more for my arthritis. I really … Continue reading How things are this morning

Critter(s) of the Day, and an update
Since we brought bitty little Dave into the house as a permanent addition, the other inside cats were not too sure what to make of this strange new presence! Mama cat and DahBoy were mostly perplexed. Fenrir, on the other hand, was not a happy camper! She would hiss at him and sometimes even bat … Continue reading Critter(s) of the Day, and an update

I couldn’t help myself
With all the wonderful rain we've had, the lawn is quickly reaching jungle proportions. So I started weed trimming the edges before breaking out the riding mower. It never fails. Every time I bring out the weed trimmer, I find myself going further and further into the bush. This is the area by the garage … Continue reading I couldn’t help myself

About that snow blower…
Okay, time to catch up on the snow blower situation! This driveway was not cleared with a snow blower. We headed out to pick it up yesterday, along with the two chain saws. The guy walked me through what he did. Along with cleaning out the carburetor, he added an inline fuel shut off valve, … Continue reading About that snow blower…
