In 18 days, I'm taking some time off. LOTS of time off. My favorite brother has to have rotator cuff surgery so we've crossed off his recovery time from availability for in-person events. Although I'll still check email and (hopefully) book future events, it won't be...
A muggy morning -- even though it was in the low 70s -- and a hot day incoming for the last of the long, holiday weekend. Labor Day marks the end of summer but the first day of fall isn't until September 23rd. I didn't have the heart to close the pool this weekend,...
Only 5 sunsets left after today to complete a whole year of sharing sunsets weekly! It was cool this morning when I first got up -- like, in the 50's cool. It was barely after 5:00 AM and still dark. Birthday girl, Dharma, started celebrating her 8th birthday by...
Dharma isn't a good patient when she doesn't feel well. I get it -- I'm probably an awful patient too. This allergy thing she has going on right now is making her miserable... and in turn, it's making me miserable too. I'm going to simply show up. I made an vet...

When Katie, Jerilyn, and I did our weight loss project last year, I did Weight Watchers. Jerilyn drank water by the gallon and concentrated on low carb foods with one day a week designated as "cheat day" where she ate anything she wanted. Katie did meal prep with low...
I've started back on my treadmill routine. That exercise has been pretty non-existent because of all the contractor activity around here, so getting motivated was difficult. I'm on day #3 today and my back is jacked. I don't know if it was the new push mower along...
I took the photo below a few evenings ago. Later, I read that evening's sky in particular was the subject for many others to capture. Not only does this image capture the crescent moon, but that bright star is Venus. Back on schedule! This week should've included...
ASNns were planted in the field next to the barndo instead of corn this year. The brown dirt is finally turning green. Poking through the ground about 3 or 4 inches now, those ASNns will appreciate the soft rain more than I do. Dharma's happy no matter the weather!...
