It was 25 degrees this morning when I took the dogs for a walk and I kept telling myself Spring is here, Spring is here!!!! Even if it sure didn't feel like it!

Two More Surprises Today!
The first one I noticed as soon as I could see my driveway! A New tree was planted to replace our Ash tree that was cut down during the deforestation emerald ash borer maintenance program last fall.

The Trouble With A 10 Month Old Dog Is…
I'm not even going to say anything... Okay...maybe just a few words. This is from last Friday, we left Jamba and Holly alone while we went out to eat, something we've done several times before without nearly an issue.

Full Moon Frosty!
I looked on the calendar and it said there should be a full moon out. No wonder Chloe our cat wanted to be outside all night last night. The full moon could still be seen at sunrise this morning.

The Gifted Box of Mysterious Sewing Items
Every once in a while something like this finds me. About a month or so ago Jim asked me if I wanted some boxes of sewing items that were looking for a new home, or soon to be thrown out, that were from a woman who had recently passed away. All told, four… Continue reading The Gifted Box of Mysterious Sewing Items
Twenty Years Together – Celebrating at the Chopping Block!
I’m going back in time here to September 12th. That was our twentieth wedding anniversary! I can hardly believe we have been married that long but it’s true. My husband decided to ‘surprise’ me with a little activity. We’d talked about doing a lot of things to celebrate our 20th, Paris, Charleston, buying an RV,… Continue reading Twenty Years Together – Celebrating at the Chopping Block!
A Walk In The Volo Bog!
I have been wanting to visit this Bog for a while now and finally had that opportunity this past weekend.I don’t think I have been to a Bog before. The first trail we ventured was the Boardwalk Interpretive Trail. This is a boardwalk that actually takes you out ON TO the bog and it floats… Continue reading A Walk In The Volo Bog!

Oh! Do I have news for you! Friends, we have waited 3 years for our peach tree to finally produce a substantial harvest!
