Labor Day Weekend Wrap-Up

Gotta love the wrap-up blog post. A great thing to do when there isn’t a single blog post in my mind….or completed as in my mind.  The chicken issue became a huge one late last week and spilled into the weekend. I wish people would just be decent and not assume others are doing shit…

The Neighborhood Drama Queen and Her Art of Diplomacy

“I do no think that word means what you think it means” ~Princess Bride That was my initial reaction when I listened to the message from my neighbor. She has decided that the situation with the chickens is “untenable”.  Then, my second reaction was “what the fuck?” She has NEVER, ever, talked to me about…

Day 398 – Pigga

yes, I know my numbering is screwed up. I am just going to stop numbering after this – or continue picking random numbers. Random numbers are more fun. This is Pigga.  She actually has a name, but it always called Pigga for some reason. She is Indigo’s guinea pig.  Indigo got her three years ago…

Day 194 – SQUIRREL!!

That is what my dog “says” (via his barks of course) when he sees this thing – SQUIRREL! And he goes crazy.  The last time we had one in the yard tormenting the dog, it was when we had one dog – the yellow one. He finally figured out the game of the squirrel and…

Day 193 – Watch Dog

I love our yellow lab. While a sweet dog, he is protective where his girls are concerned. This is where I found him when I came into the room – watching them play in the front yard.  I guarantee you – if someone came by that he did not like, he would have been through…

Day 187 – 190 – My Short Week

This week has been short (work wise) but busy. Summer makes it hard to stay in the uploading of picture groove. The week here was hot. Oregon went from 70 degrees to 98 degrees literally overnight. I am NOT complaining though. Let’s just make that clear. We were all starting to wonder if we would…

Wednesday Weird Ramblings

DJ, the other day, asked me what was the deal with “red rum”.  I explained it to her as best as I could. I recall seeing the movie repeatedly when I was her age. I loved The Shining. This is what happens when you have a mom who loves horror movies. Now, as an adult,…

Day 183 – Take a Picture of ME

As I’m taking a picture of our yellow lab, our black lab mix sat down in front of him and gave me sort of a pathetic look of rejection. He’s black and harder to photograph unless the lighting is perfect.  I was using my funky lens which is why it’s fuzzy around the edges.  I…

Day 177 – Cat on Cement

“Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function.”~Garrison Keillor My cat’s function is to greet everyone and make them feel like she really cares only about them. In reality, she has conned them all into giving her food, treats and rubs because she is clearly not getting at home. …

Day 173 – Pretty Kitty

She is such a pretty cat. She sat next to us tonight as we sat on the steps relaxing after our run. I sometimes think she is more dog than cat in her personality.
