My mom and brother share a January 31 birthday, just as my dad and I shared June 10.  Here's wishing you both lots of love and many more birthdays.Blogging in the afternoon seemed like a good idea at the time, but it apparently doesn't work for me.  By three...

Bernicie and I took a short walk yesterday--she was barreling along, on the trails of passing turkeys and coyotes and deer, while I picked my way cautiously from dry patch to dry patch.  🙂  The fresh air was good for both of us and the weather, as I...

One of the songs from the musical, "Oklahoma", is running through my mind this morning--"Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh, what a beautiful day..."The sun is brilliant in a blue sky--this despite the fact that there is more snow on the way--and the driveway looks...

We even have sunshine today, though it's very cold and the roads are too slick for Bernicie and I to go for our walk.  Maybe later--we took a short one yesterday, and she was practically bounding along, while I picked my cautious way between patches of ice. ...

I'm not superstitious--well, not very--but I do tend to watch my p's and q's on Friday the 13th.  🙂  I'm also not wild about walking under ladders--that's probably just common sense--but I don't throw salt over my shoulder when I spill it or anything like...

This is the Eastern Washington weather I remember from my childhood--it's very cold out, but the sun is shining and the sky is sugar-bowl blue.  As Bernicie and I walked around the pasture this morning, I felt my heart just swell with gratitude.  That's my...
