Summer's end, that is. And, yes, I guess it is as this is the beginning of September and Labor Day (here in the US, anyway). Even without the calendar dates, it is starting to feel like Fall. Mornings are chilly now, and the daytime temps aren't nearly as high as they were just a week … Continue reading Is It The End Already?
Or at least beginning to feel that way? This weather has been crazy! It's been warm and breezy so many days lately, and we are into November. I am not a huge fan of winter, but by this point, I do expect the temps to be a bit colder. Not complaining really, but wow, it's … Continue reading Umm, Isn’t It Supposed To Be Winter?
Wow, it's been a week or so, hasn't it? Politics, the Olympics, and more causing quite the kerfuffle around these internets, eh? I generally try to stay out of the fray and keep my opinions to myself. Not because I don't want to deal with it, but mainly because in the world we live in, … Continue reading Sometimes, Ya Just Gotta Do What Ya Gotta Do
Things did not go as hoped on Wednesday when I took Lambeau to the vet. She started to take the staples out, but the bottom part of the incision seemed to be pulling a bit still. So, a few are out in the top part, but there is one new staple at the bottom, and … Continue reading What’s Going On Around Here
Yes, indeedy, it is Super Bowl Sunday when I am typing this. For those who aren't sports fans or aren't US sports fans, that's the championship game in American professional football. While I like most sports, (yes, even golf!) we do closely follow football here. Neither of our teams made the Big Game this year, … Continue reading Super Sunday
Groundhog Day has come once more. Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog I grew up paying attention to, did not see his shadow when he was awakened on February 2nd. According to the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition, that means we will have an early spring this year. I gotta say, I do hope this is one of the … Continue reading Groundhog Says
I am typing this on Sunday morning, and I think Mother Nature may have been out carousing a bit too much this week. It was near or over 50 degrees F at the end of the week. It got chillier yesterday. This morning, it was raining so much the dogs didn't want to go out, … Continue reading Random Thoughts for a Monday
That's what the calendar says, but it seems way too early to be that late, if that makes any sort of sense! I guess I am going to have to get my mind made up on what to make for dessert, huh? It's a little difficult here because I have to be aware of the … Continue reading Is It Really Almost Thanksgiving?
Not much exciting going on these days. Fall is definitely in full swing, with leaves falling from the trees here constantly. I have to say, the fall color this year has been less than inspiring. Not sure if it was all the late warm weather or rain that caused the dullness, but something sure did. … Continue reading Bits and Bobs
I did *something* to my left knee at the end of last week. Not sure what. I don't remember anything specific, but I woke up on Saturday morning with shooting pains in the shin. I thought that was the issue, but as the morning went on, I realized the actual problem was on the outside/back … Continue reading Well, That Puts a Limp in Things
And So On...
