I wish this were going to be a funny post, but it’s not. My neighbors on the corner experienced a home invasion at 2:30am this morning.
I was awake and heard banging, thought it was in my backyard, because my dog was barking, too, so I went to the window to look. Nothing.
I went out [...]

I’ve severely neglected my yard (both front and back) since the fire, but one thing upon which I can depend each year is a few days of firey gorgeousness in the backyard when the day lilies bloom.
A little yellow bug which looks like a yellow lady bug to me has found a temporary home in [...]

Completely Clueless (a.k.a. PDD’s father) had some consequences come home to roost today.

I have several physical places on this planet that evoke that warm feeling of belonging that is ‘home’. Certainly, my house is one of them. Tulsa (amazingly, it’s grown on me) is another of them. Western PA is another, as it is where I grew up, and Clendenin, West Virginia, where my dad’s dad lived, [...]

Well, I’m off to a great start, aren’t I? Forgetting to publish this yesterday? Had it all ready to go and clicked ‘Save’ instead of ‘Publish’.
