Fifty Six Years Ago Fifty Six Years Ago, my best friend and neighbor, Tammy Mitchell, and I laid in the floor of her living room and watched this happen. Only because her Mother made us. Neither of us thought it was of any significance. Teenagers! Do they every think anything going on outside their orbit…

After several years there were two on my Butterfly Bush in the edge of Shade Bed. I changed my cover photo to a photo of a Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly. For the first time in 2 years we have had some Black Swallowtail Butterflies here and found caterpillars on my fennel. Brought 7 caterpillars inside and…

Everyone beware! I created Nation Split Day ten years ago and it continues. I will update at the end of the day. Kathy Duty Harris July 10, 2015  ·  I have a question: 1. Did I hit my head and miss the weekend and am back to Monday where everything goes wrong? Or 2. Is it National Split…

Isaiah and I stopped by Tractor Supply yesterday afternoon, like we do every Tuesday after swimming lessons. They didn’t have any chicks. Maybe today. While I was scanning the chicken books, a very…

I have not set the smoke alarm off as much since the boys have grown up and I maybe don’t do as many things at the same time. Amazon Echo reminders help keep me on track. At our house the boys, all of them, say we don’t need a dinner bell, we use the smoke…

From 7 years ago: Yes, I still wash ED shirts at this house. Gene and I have been married long enough that for the most part I can think like he thinks, when necessary. 90% of the time I can find a file on the computer in the 3rd or 4th level directory below the…
