    Mices

    Now and then, a day presents itself with a little free time. I’m not sure what inspired me to open this deck box – but a family of mice was discovered. I always have a soft spot for little mice. Not the big ugly ones, just these little guys. So the deck box was carefully…

  • Spider problem

    Spider problem

    I mean, a problem for spiders – not talking about an infestation or anything. Green Dust Days® make spider webs quite visible.

  • Looking up

    Looking up

    Sometimes the clouds are really mind twisting. Like, is this up or down, type of mind twisting. From the same day, more clouds.. here’s the photo I took: And here’s what Google thought it should look like:

  • World’s smallest pineapple?

    World’s smallest pineapple?

    Spotted on walk home from school.. does it belong to a Smurf? Nope, turns out its the remains of flowers that are up in pine trees, which are responsible for belching out that green dust. More info and visuals (than you ever needed) are here. Neat to see up close, but man do I hate…

    Year 2 on the strawberry plants – real berries are growing!

  • The Jungle Book

    The Jungle Book

    A 6th grade tradition at the kids elementary school is a full class production of some classic play. They work on it for months, memorizing lines, songs, and building sets. They did a fantastic job, and guess who was the center of attention, Mowgli – the one and only Noah. Add acting to his list…

    There’s really no reason for a slug to crawl on a baseball. None.

  • Why’d the turtle cross the road?

    Why’d the turtle cross the road?

    Dunno! We’re not really close to water so it made very little sense. I think its the first turtle I’ve seen at the house, ever. Further down the road though – monster snapping turtles are seen every spring. Like as big as a coffee table. Maybe this one’s just looking for a safer place to…

  • That feeling

    That feeling

    like you are being watched. Ok, or something I should be watching. Anyway, eyesight checked out great, as did the SHINGLES exam. Damn virus did not make it into my eye, hurray!

  • Azalea ready to pop

    Azalea ready to pop

    Many years ago, this miniature azalea was planted along the front walk. For years it has barely clung to life – its been eaten, stepped on, subject to drought and over watering, brutal winters and just about everything else a tiny shrub could endure. This spring it has grown and started blooming more than we’ve…

  • Imara’s World

    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…
