I am a dog person, was since I was a child and will be until I take my last breath. On July 6th I lost my best boy Billy the Kid, and I have been devastated ever since. He was very special and died too soon. I knew he was ill, he had kidney disease and at the end, other things too. Because he was

It is a little cooler today. I am going to be cutting back a number of my perennials today because it will rain for the the next three days and then drop below freezing again Friday. The Fall is my favorite season but it doesn't last long. Soon there will be frost regularly and it is hard to gard

I have a really nice dentist, but I hate going. Soon I will leave for a cleaning and a visit. There are so many things I would rather tackle but alas it is necessary. This will be my last medical this week. I am anxious and eager to be done and then I will take myself to breakfast.

I have found that physical work completed is satisfying in a way nothing else is. Today I was busy with physical work. I filled two large trash bags with dead and dying plants. I then went to my space at the antique gallery where I had a space for some two years. Everything is now out except my

I am planning on going for my annual flu shot today. It is something I have done for several years now but I need a plus shot as I am over 65. These tend to go quickly so I am going early. I can remember years ago when there was a concern about these shots. Today not so much and they are generall
