The past week or so has been a series of ups and downs. From contracting with clients on speaking engagements (I HATE contracting) to enjoying s'mores with Katie and Charlie -- and from the passing of Ben and Coco's dog and Mom being too sick to enjoy a birthday...

sunset #33 of 52 — summer’s almost here
Mosey on over to whatifitdid.com and check out the (almost) offerings because I've been a slacker here for sure. I'm even behind on weekly sunset photos, but I did take one last night. Red, White and Blue Festival Fireworks! The photo above was taken right before the...
sunset #32 of 52: plus equal rights and the internet
I'm old enough to remember when everything was about "equal rights for women" -- mostly in the late 70's. Now, it seems that everything is about the LGBTQ+ pride movement. There are correlations between the women's rights movement and LGBTQ+ pride movement, for sure....
sunset #31 of 52 – lots going on ’round here
Pool guys are coming this morning to cut the liner for the skimmer and to hook up the pump. All that's left after that is for Mr. Electrician to get here (hoping we don't burn anything up before he gets here by using an extension cord), filling the pool the rest of...
sunset #30 of 52 and i’m ready to swim
We struggled where to put the pool for weeks before install day -- yesterday. Once the installers arrived, I just told the owner of Hendrix Pools to put it where he thought it would work best. My only request was that it wasn't a million miles from the barndo. 4...
sunset #29 of 52: frosty round here even though it’s spring
I brought in all my flowers tonight... AGAIN. It's a brisk 44 degrees at 10:00 PM and will likely drop another 10 before morning. Sheesh! It sure doesn't feel like spring. The sunset this evening wasn't fabulous, but it wasn't too shabby either. Hummingbirds are back...
sunset #28 of 52: photo taken when spring feels like summer
The last few days it's been in the 80s. Sadly, tomorrow night I'll have to bring my plants inside because temps are forecasted to plummet. We're enjoying the warm days while we can... My tulips still aren't blooming, but the snowball bushes have more little flowers...
Sunset #27 of 52 – and i have dumb tulips
The entire west side of this house -- and partially on the south side -- is lined with tulips. They've grown way up there but not one bloom can be found. People who have one flipping plant covered with blooms are sharing photos of their ASNuty on social media. Here I...
sunset #26 of 52 – halfway already?
Sitting at our respective computers, Perry said, "Check out the sky! It's pink!" I did. It was. There was some pink... but lots of other colors too. It was so pretty out that I sent those Pesky neighbors a text so they wouldn't miss it. I think it's ASNutiful here no...
