I really think about posting in the early evenings, but when it gets to evening I just read until I have to go to bed. Sorry ( Read more... )

*finally met the new neighbors today. The poor things think that my yard is wild and untamed just because I am busy. They don't know I'm also farm raised, a hippy from a private college in Oregon, and an episcopalian. I have bugs, at least 3 kinds of birds, and TOADS this year! Haven't had toad babies for a long time ( Read more... )

All the things have been happening.  Short ish, because I really need to go to bed.  (such a lie!  Still writing 30 minutes later.  Sorry it's so long)

First, I got a new puppy.  Another GSD from the breeder down the road.  Born March 15th, and I got him about May 15th.  This one is a little boy named Balky.  He's very large (even though he was ( Read more... )

See, I always think of things to say, but by the time I get to my computer, I just want to read. And eat popcorn. And drink tea. I am so totally exciting.

Pictures!
Thank you all for the lovely holiday cards.
