Okay. I think this is going to be a difficult post to write. To recap for our new followers (Welcome! Thanks for joining us!); about a year and a half ago, my husband ended up in the emergency room for what turned out to be pulmonary edema.

Get a little bit closer, and a follow up
I headed out to water things this evening, but got distracted. Junk Pile and two of her babies were out! I ended up lying right on the ground, in hopes that would make them less intimidated by the tall(ish) human. Creamsicle took full advantage of the situation. What a silly boy! Tabby didn't come any … Continue reading Get a little bit closer, and a follow up

A little friend, and change of (medical) plans
While picking cucalmelons this morning, I found a little friend! We've been seeing LOTS of frogs about this size, every time we to go through the garden beds. Usually, they hop off too quickly for me to get photos, but this one didn't move!

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

Oh, what wonderful news to start the day! … Continue reading I’ll be feeling this tomorrow!

Good grief
What a runaround today has been. But first, I will share something to make you smile! Upside down, furry friends. Two Face and Dave were busily playing, with Two Face grabbing, licking and biting Dave's head and him... letting her. 😀 At about 1am. I just had to turn on a light and get pictures. … Continue reading Good grief
