We are in the middle of major remodeling of two spaces. One is the addition (added to the house in 1962) which is the guest room, a hall, the laundry room and a bathroom. The other space is DD’s room. And I must say, she is WAY excited about that! The mess is getting to […]
Last night, while DD was getting ready for bed, Buttercup waited for her by sitting on the railing at the top of the stairs. And this morning, when I came down for breakfast, there she was guarding the newel post. She’s been sitting there a lot lately. I’m not sure why she decided all of […]

He had to carefully take the screen off the top of the tank as two caterpillars have decided to attach to it to pupate. Silly bugs. The […]
Cathy, this one’s for you. Savor autumn. ~~Rhonda 🙂 A walk through the little woods behind our house… Goldenrod. Elderberry bush sans elderberries…isn’t the pinky red a beautiful color? The sassafras are beautiful every year. I love to take pictures at the end of the day. The soft light is so pretty on everything. The […]
