I Prune Dead Things

Tis the season when everything in the yard dies, so today I went out and made with the massive tidying. Most-all the ferns in the front yard: gone. Lots of pruning in the back yard too; I filled up my yard waste bin with plenty to spare for next week. Did some deadheading. Pulled up […]

Solo

Alas, Mark did go home today…well, it was a lovely time together, and longer than anticipated, so I am not complaining. Nope. Not at all. Not even a little, tiny, weensy bit. Nope. Anyway! After he left, I ate some ice cream, and felt sad; and then got myself motivated and reorganized a bunch of

Friday

Busy day today (so what else is new?). I did the things I had to do to get my real estate license process moving forward again…as I did that, I was warned of another probable snafu coming, and told how to deal with that if/when it comes. Sigh. Even so, the ball is out of

Bedecked!

The Christmas Tree has achieved full bedeckment: What with all that bedecking, and all the other things that needed doing (including going for a SWIM jeez at last), Mark decided to stay another night…but he is totally going home tomorrow, because I’m going to work tomorrow. And he has a novel to write. Yeah, work.

Busy Day

Busy day around here at the Witchnest, celebrating Mark’s birthday by doing All The Fun Things. First we slept in, then slept in some more. Then we went back to the aquarium store, and got some more cherry shrimp, and two catfish! Two! Fish! They are very cool-looking catfish, as you can see. (BTW, all

Family Approval

It was a really, really nice Thanksgiving holiday, in several venues, with a whole bunch of family on both sides (Mark’s and mine). With, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned, far too much to eat, and lots of fun and laughter, and all that. But what is staying with me, and what I don’t think I

Home!

Long drive today, in the fog and the rain and then the dark and then (safely) viewing a massive accident on the other side of the freeway, north of Salem, that had all of I-5 shut down in the southbound direction, a semi sprawled across the lanes…fortunately we were headed northbound, of course, and were

Holiday Update

We’ve left the coastal regions (and my family) and repaired to the hinterlands (and Mark’s family). And, by golly, the food is just as good here. 🙂 Yesterday I promised you a Muddy Brother photo. He did something called the Appetite Ride on Thanksgiving morning, and returned…quite muddy. I’d upload a close-up of his bike,

Oof

Full. Painfully full. And, um, safe in California–it was a long drive, and at times a little frightening with ALL THE RAINS, but it was nice to have company (and to share the driving!), and all went well. It’s so very wonderful to be here with my family, and Mark, and my brother’s girlfriend Page
