    Imara’s World

    We’re all just playing a part in it. For instance, every meal she has is part bowl of food and then the “canine genius” with some treats. She’s no genius, we all know – but she does have something going on upstairs. Visible here in her refusal to get the treats out! Daily, she makes…

    That pollen-sheen

    Tree pollen in high gear gave the Exploder a little green highlight under the street lamp.

    Got Mulch?

    They wanted a “landing zone” so I got a little creative. If anyone asks, the kids did it!

  • Ribs!

    Ribs!

    Shingles not yet diagnosed so life goes on here, and people gotta eat!

    They are related

    But handle how they present themselves for piano recitals in very individual manners. And.. everyone! Look closely and you can see shingles beginning to break out on my forehead. Wheeeeee

    First, Imara using Kim’s leg as an arm rest, intently watching TV. Second, her beanbag, with a very dog-like impression in it..

    She’s rescued. That’s really all I can think of as a reason for all her strange behaviors. This dog is always jammed into a corner or edge or tight spot of some sort.

Nice lilacs there – and Google Photos decided to make them even more colorful. The actual photo isn’t quite as nice:

  • Toad. I think?

    Toad. I think?

    Its kinda cute so I thought, frog. But, wrinkly like a toad. I dunno, but it was moving down the front walk on a mission until I came along. Oh and just a “you’re doing it wrong” for Imara. As usual.

    There’s this Trug

    Trug as in planter – which we’ve planted salad greens in. Got some last year, and tried to get some late season stuff last Fall, but ran out of good days. Winter came, and went. Spring mostly did the same – and we never really looked back at the trug. Until now. Turns out the…

    Mothers Day 2024

    Sports never stop. Sunday 5/12 was Mother’s Day – but lacrosse didn’t care. Fortunately some very thoughtful parents on the team had a great idea, for the kiddos to hand out flowers after the game. Another case of better content vs my phone on 5/12 with Clean Cast Iron!

    Nothing exciting here. Just took a few rare minutes to clean up the cast iron pans.
