The Week In Seven Photos

Harper and I were out celebrating with the butterflies and ducks the arrival of August and the first football game of the season during a rare beautiful summer day this year. The Hall of Fame game always lets me know that we are one month away from my favorite month and, of course, football and…

Weekend Watching

In between watching my favorite cyclist, Peter Sagan, win his record-setting seventh green jersey in the final weekend of the Tour de France shortened due to weather conditions, there was time to watch the birds, feathers float by, hostas blooming before they were quickly eaten by the deer and bees dancing around the flowers. After…

The Week In Seven Photos

The excitement had been building for months after news broke that another one of my favorite guys, Bryce Harper, was coming to town for two games with his new team, the Philadelphia Phillies, to play the Detroit Tigers. Quickly a few more rules were thrown out the window, like avoiding traffic jams and sitting in…

Nature’s Musings During A Hot And Humid Weekend

It’s so steamy and soggy, I’ll be here until Thursday trying to dry out my wings! Hot…water…oppressive…water… more water, more water!! The air is so stagnant, I can’t even get lift off! Dad, leave us alone, we’re too tired and the water is too warm and mucky for swimming lessons today! Don’t you dare let…

The Week In Seven Photos (But Who’s Counting)

It was one of those rare weeks when some of the rules I abide by were thrown out the window when one of my favorite guys, Jimmy Buffett, came to town. All of a sudden the introvert that dislikes the hot and humid weather, going to parties and striking up conversations with many strangers was…

My word of the week (possibly word of the month and year too) is lollygag, which originally popped into my head during the exciting (other than no Bryce Harper) Major League Baseball All-Star week and the funny lollygag scene from the great baseball movie Bull Durham starring Kevin Costner (a close third behind baseball favorites Field of Dreams…

Weekend Watching

Harper was exhausted from her week of shopping, dining out and her first art festival, so luckily we were home on Saturday to watch all of the activity when the backyard visitors decided to throw their first party of the season. It was exciting to watch the rare Baltimore Oriole drop by and enjoy the…

The Week In Seven Photos

Well, we begin Harper’s fourth month and the first day of summer not only wondering if puppy lessons are needed, but also if after this week that puppy therapy sessions may also be a necessity. Harper is still adjusting daily to every new item and situation she encounters, including strange new creatures surprising her around every…

The Week In Seven Photos

There were many beautiful moments to be found outdoors and we were lucky this week to have had two out of the four gorgeous days that we’ve actually had this rainy spring. Some were basking in the sun while St. Louis Blues fans were basking in the glow of the Stanley Cup. There’s always plenty…

My Week In Seven Photos

The lazy days of summer are still officially a few weeks away, but I’m already mentally and physically knee-deep in lazy summer vibes. I can’t blame Harper this week for my lack of motivation since she has kept me busy enjoying many walks with interesting walking companions and beautiful flowers. It’s possible I could blame…
