Truth be told
I’m in a funny mood this morning. Not hilarious, but not extremely odd either. I’m not even sure what I want to say. What I can say. What would be wise. Or comforting. To either you o...
Begonia Pardon
Tell me what you’d like. Tell me how you’d like it. Will it last long? Will it last forever? Does it come with ice cream? Is tomorrow like today? Sunshine in fact or fiction? Time lasts forever....
Today....
…Mother’s Day plus a week. … my 58th wedding anniversary minus a day. … a sunny cool day of blossoms and tall grass. … a day that is a gift full of public radio and weak cocoa. Plus a couple o...
How did you choose your children's names?
For the holiday ----- You don’t have to be specific. I won’t be. First child was named for his grandfathers. Second for his father and his uncle. All four names are pretty common and I supp...
Mothers are with us always
Wild plums. And a violet. I weeded a little today. I planted my will-to-propagate potato and some couple year old marigold seeds. We move on.
Good morning - a ways into May -
Pup and I had a nice walk this morning. I took a bunch of pictures =- and we practiced ‘no’ or what seemed more effective, ‘hold it’. She pulled herself out of her collar last night and while...
Hi there -
Abby in a woodsy corner of the deck. The thing on the right of the picture is an upsidedown cream can of family history. I painted it antique red in later era of family history and now it’s ...
Libby
Before she got stuck on top of the stairs. Before she went wading in the mud. Before she scared the cats.
I need help - thanks for the help
We got a new dog. I will post a picture soon. She’s a 4-yr-old Huskie mix from the humane society and she’s a nice dog. Ok. So what’s the problem? She went upstairs and she won’t come d...
One end of my house loop. My poor unfortunate house loop that now feels like ancient history. Sun is shining today. Things are happening. Now if I can just get my own self moving. In a po...
Take me to the city
Surfin' on the Mississippi
This is the road across the dike at Reno Bottoms - where we always walk across the river. And here’s the view up river.
Pretty much all cheered up
Just listened to Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, the public radio news and entertainment program that airs in my world on Saturday mornings. This time it was in Nashville TN and had country singer ...
Question about mental health drugs
I think there is a different term but that’s what comes to mind - what mind? - right now. Those of you who know what I mean will know what I mean. The kind you get with a prescription from a h...
The Redheads
Carol Burnett and Willie Nelson are both celebrating their 90th birthdays this week. Carol’s is the 26th and Willie’s is the 29th. Interesting that they were born so close together, both hav...
The gift
How much of ourselves do we want to give? How much can we disperse into the world yet still stay ourselves? Does anyone care? Do I even care? Is the glass half full? And what are we drin...
Look at the river....
https://www.rotarylights.org/live-river-cam.html If you can make it live you can see how fast the water is going by. The trees on the island are no longer on an island. This has felt like a mil...
Daffydowndillies, a potato who wants to grow, and 5 things
I made the bed and put away the books and magazines and newspapers and pens. I took dirty clothes down to the washer and brought clean dry clothes up from the basement and put them away. ...
More snow and a cat
Sorry for forcing the snow on you. It’s quite a bit though. It of course won’t last long. Much will sink into the dry ground. It is pretty. And it’s funny how less oppressive snow is af...
Short spring
I’m reading my Ohio book. It’s really good. He wrote The Deluge, the climate bad news book. My library did well getting those books. I had some things to say, but they’ve kind of melte...
Saturday
Slightly fuzzy. Forgive me Mr. Jobs. I think I’m gaining my lost weight back. I hate myself for that. I wonder how many ways there are to self-dis. Many no doubt. I wonder why we eith...

SpringTIME!!!
This pic could have used a little zoom and cropping both. The lovely woman at the library showed me how to zoom. The cam doesn’t have a LOT of zoom - I suppose the quality of the image allows o...
Who's cuter?
A piece of water
Three days in a row I’ve been up to the clearing. Sunday with Will. Monday with my phone taking nice pictures that I deleted because I seem to hold the button too long and end up with six to...

Just a few words that don’t mean anything.
