I’m taking a breather this week, still recovering from my birthday bash. Greg took me shopping. He said I could buy whatever I wanted. I’m sure he expected me to ask for jewelry–or maybe even a new dog. Nope. Well…the dog was close, but Nana said she was the only …
I’ve got a birthday tomorrow, a milestone birthday no less. I’m not sure how I feel about that yet. It kind of feels like all the others, but just a little bit more ouchy. 🙂 It’s not a big deal. I don’t know why the commercials on tv makes it …

When we bought our “retirement” home in the boonies, we spent nearly a year on the hunt for the right house. The one thing Greg and I argued most about was whether to buy a one-story or two-story home. As much as I prefer the look of a two-story home, …

Greg might prefer we had steak more often, but I like burgers–the homemade ones. I found this YouTube video and felt inspired and a little nostalgic for the burgers my father used to make. Of the four, I think I like the French version of the hamburger the best, though …
This is a year of transition. We’re simplifying and streamlining. We should’ve had a few more weeks of ‘winter’, but it looks like that one day in January was it. We’ve started turning over my raised beds and fixing or adding drip irrigation. For the last two weeks, I’ve been …

Our latest arrival is this little buckling. He’s a pure bred Nubian, future mate for my Nubian girls. We call him Captain Jack (named after Jack Harkness for Dr Who fans). Jack’s sire was named Captain America, so I thought it only fitting that Jack be a captain too. Poor …
