The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest. ~ Henry David Thoreau Remember when the smallest things would make our day as a child? Like getting a sticker on homework. Okay, sure I'm old enough when most of my school work was done on paper, and we had scratch-n-sniff stickers. Maybe it was chasing…Read more Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs

Working from Home: Week 26
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path... Another week has passed. It's the last full week of August. When I started doing these posts, I never imagined I would be wfh for 10 weeks. Hitting double digits seemed monumental. Now, here we are at almost 6 months mostly…Read more Working from Home: Week 26
Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Where has the past two weeks gone? I'm blaming the heat and the day job on lost time. Although, the heat has been fantastic for the sunflowers. We're down to the last three or four that haven't bloomed yet. Even our experiment from bird seed opened up.…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Three Wheeled Picnic
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventure fills your soul. Wow, where did the week go? I had planned to post this earlier in the week, but the day job has kept me busy. Sometimes you just need to stop staring at a digital screen. The British Hubby and I have had a few failed attempts…Read more Three Wheeled Picnic
Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. ~ Langston Hughes In the PNW, we don't often get rain in July and August. When we do, it's often very localized. On Thursday, we had a proper rain shower. You can just make out the rain in…Read more Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Working from Home: Week 23
Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning. ~ Winston Churchill The past week, I've seen about a dozen deer roam through our back yard and neighborhood. Mostly have been doe, but we did spot two bucks. We also saw an amazing rust colored bobcat. I now considered it a bad day if I didn't…Read more Working from Home: Week 23
Book Challenge: The Travelling Cat Chronicles
"I knew he was searching hard for a new owner for me, but that as each attempt came to nothing, he felt hugely relieved to be taking me home again." ~ The Travelling Cat Chronicles It's been awhile since I've posted a book review. I've been reading, but I've been remise in posting book reviews…Read more Book Challenge: The Travelling Cat Chronicles
Working from Home: Week 21 and 22
Everyone has his day, and some days last longer than others. ~ Winston Churchill I missed a wfh post last week. Between the summer heat and my allergies, my creative juices weren't quite up to par last week. The past two weeks, I've bought another tank of gas and had an oil change. In 2019,…Read more Working from Home: Week 21 and 22
Celebrating Life with Sunflowers
We think there is endless time to live but we never know which moment is last. So share, care, love, and celebrate every moment of life. It's been awhile since I've done a celebrate life post. I thought it was time to bring it back. In many states the virus is rapidly spreading and hospitals…Read more Celebrating Life with Sunflowers
Working from Home: Week 20
Responsibility is the price of greatness. ~ Winston Churchill Another week has passed. I can't quite believe I've been primarily working from home for the past 20 weeks. With cases and deaths continuing to rise in the US, it is hard to believe things will change at least in this state any time soon. Each…Read more Working from Home: Week 20
