We had quite a bit of snow recently, and once my work declared a snow day I retrieved my shovel and went trotting outside to help. Not even three shovelfuls of snow, and my husband shooed me back into the house. So I went out the other door and started again. When we got close … Continue reading Snow and Ice Because Winter Ain’t Done Yet

Poor Wee Little Robins
Our last storm was a doozy, and when we came out to the car in the morning, there were some casualties. A robin's nest had fallen, tossing two robins onto the hood of our car and one onto the (now) hot road. An egg had fallen too (which is why I knew it was a … Continue reading Poor Wee Little Robins
Unseasonably Late Snow
Well, I didn't take any pictures, but it snowed last Wednesday. April 18th. The busy season has started for my husband and dad, and they have NEVER attended their meetings with snow on the ground. Kind of crazy, right? We went to Madison for an appointment, and it was cloudy and dim on the way … Continue reading Unseasonably Late Snow
Setting Up Raised Beds in the Garden!
I love playing in the garden, but I'm not physically able to do a lot, so it almost always requires help from my husband. Unfortunately, during peak gardening season is when his work is crazy busy with meetings all evening, and it gets delayed until late June, and I plant everything late. I hate it. … Continue reading Setting Up Raised Beds in the Garden!
Snow Day!
Friday was a snow day! I had talked with my boss about the winter storm that was moving in, and I was concerned about the drive... especially if my husband wouldn't drive me in. I got up at my usual time *coughfiveamcough* and took a look outside. They had run the plows at least once … Continue reading Snow Day!
Here, Doggy, Doggy!
So, today was a quiet day, and our dog was dozing. We were sitting at our computers doing computer things (and writing), when our dog perked up and ran to the door. He started bouncing around and gave that characteristic snowdog 'Wooooo!', so we got up to check. One of our neighbors' Husky and German … Continue reading Here, Doggy, Doggy!
Ocooch 01: ‘Still Waters’ HAS BEGUN!
Just a quick shout out that my newest novel, roughly titled "Still Waters" has begun! I'm so in the honeymoon stage and loving writing. *smile* Of course, that's a tease, but I never talk about the book I'm writing. It's not suspicion, just realization that if I talk about what I'm writing I lose enthusiasm … Continue reading Ocooch 01: ‘Still Waters’ HAS BEGUN!
Guest~! In Which a High School Friend Visits Me
Friday, I had a friend from high school visit! I didn't have a lot of advance warning, but I'm always happy to see her. I was a bit grumpy when I got home though. A customer had kept me ten minutes late after work, my oil light went off so I had to stop and … Continue reading Guest~! In Which a High School Friend Visits Me
More on Tornadoes
I swear, not even two days after I scheduled my last tornado post, we had YET ANOTHER tornado warning. This time, the weather was bad enough that I preemptively got under the table in the basement with the dog, (although my husband refused), and all the while it was going on we could hear wind … Continue reading More on Tornadoes
Let’s Talk About Tornadoes and This Sudden Abundance of Them
(And my irrational or possibly rational fear of them.) I grew up in Texas from 2nd - 6th grade, before I moved to Wisconsin. Texas is a wonderful place. It has amazing food. Amazing people. Amazing weather. It's part of Tornado Alley. And thus, there are Tornadoes. (Is this right? Spell check insists that it … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Tornadoes and This Sudden Abundance of Them
