The Week In Seven Photos
Between the cold, snow and high winds this week there was no chance for kayaking as my outdoor activity, so I actually have a colorful photo of birds discovered while out walking that is not blurry. Harper is maintaining her social distance from the wildlife, but most often I don’t believe she ever sees the…

Do We Have To Do Everything Together???
Self-Isolation Trend #3 As someone who I vaguely recall might have flunked home ec in the late ’70s, I was forced to order my first package of face covers since I could not bribe anyone else in the family to make me a cute one covered with Baby Yoda. I have been following the recommendation…

The Week In Seven Photos
Another week of transitions as we quickly moved from spring to winter and quickly back to spring again with hopefully the last sighting of Harper’s little footprints in the snow. All non-essential businesses were shutdown on Monday and it’s now necessary to stay away from the crowded sidewalks at the park. We have found less…

Monday Musings
Obviously I’ve already been spending too much time in my backyard because the turkeys are beginning to let me know that I’m violating their social space. I’ve received endless notifications on my phone about all the things I could be doing during this crisis to improve myself or my attitude and honestly they’re irritating me…

I’ve had to think often about the great Jimmy Buffett lyrics “if we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane” this week. So, on a lighter note during these frightening times, my husband and I have been retired together for many years and one of the main ingredients to spending so much time together is that…
