Happy hen pics
I love taking pictures of my hens out free ranging in the yard and forest. They're so happy and healthy. Their feathers are sleek and shiny and thick, and their combs are brightly colored. Their feet are clean and just beautiful. Their eyes are alert and always on the hunt for a few bugs … Continue reading Happy hen pics

Look at him now!
Remember Picky Mao and how scrawny he was when Teddy found him and brought him to me? He loved to stalk around, pretending to be a little lion. Now his favorite activity is curling up in a big patch of warm sunshine on the porch railing or in the big armchair on the porch, keeping an … Continue reading Look at him now!

Saved from the mouth of Luci(fer) herself!
I was in my home office just a little bit ago, finishing an end of year parent/teacher conference with a student and parent, when I looked out my office window. I immediately noticed Luci under the trampoline, murdering playing with something that looked to be larger than a mouse. I ran outside to see what … Continue reading Saved from the mouth of Luci(fer) herself!

This is the year for my garden!
I have a dirty little secret: I do NOT have a green thumb! It's quite the opposite. I have the plant thumb of death. I honestly stink at growing any plants except for big patches of wildflowers (which Gramma Izzie calls weeds) which grow over the sidewalk, forcing us all to walk in the yard … Continue reading This is the year for my garden!

Silly Daisy!
I have the silliest cat. Daisy does this thing when she's cleaning herself, and if she gets distracted, she forgets to put her tongue back in and just sits there, making this goofy face at everybody. It's hilarious! Now the kids distract her on purpose just to get a big laugh out of her … Continue reading Silly Daisy!
