So Thoughtful
My brother and I have been continuing to work on clearing out the houses. He has been such a big help, which is part of who he is. He is very helpful, thoughtful, and generous. We decided to take a break this afternoon and went to one of the family favorites – the zoo. It […]
Furry Friend
It’s been a busy couple of days, and I was happy to spend some time at my son’s house today. He and his wife went to the local renaissance festival, and I took care of their dog while they were away. I got there early this morning and took the dog for a hike in […]
Home Safe
This morning I got up early, ate the quick free breakfast at the hotel, and hit the road. I started by driving through a scenic forest and wildlife preserve that I wanted to see. The views were stunning and the windy road included a couple of super narrow 1 car tunnels, which were very fun […]
Garden Beauty
I have been spending a little time working in the garden each day. I figure if I do a little work every day, I won’t get too worn out and it will get cleaned up eventually. Because it was such a warm winter, many of the plants came up early and the bushes greened up. […]
Don’t Panic
When I arrived to help at my friend’s house today, the wife was in her room watching TV. She likes to watch YouTube. I went in and sat with her. She was watching a video about how Yellowstone will be exploding sometime in the near future. Unfortunately, she does get caught in the click bait […]
Houseplants
Today is my mom’s birthday and it has been almost 2 years since she died. I watered her plants as I usually do on Saturdays. Today I thought more about what that process has been like. I have never been very good at taking care of houseplants. But as I cared for my mother, when […]
Rain
We have been in a drought here like so many states across our nation. It doesn’t take much for fires to start. Luckily, around us, they have been able to get them under control fairly quickly. Every time any kind of moisture is predicted, it evaporates in the air before it even reaches the ground. […]
The Moose
The other day my friends told me that there had been a moose in their driveway. Their son who lives next door came out and took some photos. Evidently she had been wandering around the neighborhood there for a couple of weeks. This morning when I arrived at their house, there was a pickup truck […]
Enthusiastic About Outdoors
I went for a hike with a friend today and enjoyed being outdoors in the beauty of nature. At one point we were up pretty high and overlooked a large portion of the foothills. It has been very dry here, but also very warm and many of the trees and bushes have already started to […]
The Little Apple Tree
Tonight I am sharing a beautiful post from my daughter in law’s sister that really touched my heart: This little apple tree started from a single seed. One I found inside the last apple my Mom had in her fridge after she passed. At the time, I didn’t know if anything would come from planting […]
