Bear Antics
My brother and I went to the zoo today, one of our favorite outings. At the grizzly bear enclosure, we saw one of the large bears lying in a dirt dug out in the shade to stay cool. In front of us was a family with 5 kids viewing the bear through the thick glass. […]
Knowing How To Help
Today I heard from my cousin who has the same name as my mother. My heart always jumps a little when I see the name, but it also makes me smile. She sent me a photo of her orchid. When I visited a couple of months ago, we talked about them and how my mother […]
Expert Plant Advise
Today as I was watering the plants, I saw a couple of leaves on one of the orchids that were yellowing. I remembered that I noticed them last week and wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. They looked even worse now. I have been caring for the orchids just as my mother taught […]
Cooler Air
This evening, we had some powerful storms come through. First the wind picked up. I opened the windows in the house immediately to let some cooler air in. The sky looked volatile and there was plenty of thunder and lightning. Then the rain came down in torrents for quite some time, so I had to […]
God’s Moving
I got together with one of my neighbors today who I had not seen for a couple of months. They were away, then I was away, then things got a little hectic. It was good to visit with them. As I told them about my trip and everything that is happening since I returned, I […]
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 […]
