No Show Snow
The promised snow has not arrived, but I'm sure that's a minor detail. The sky looks grayish, but it could easily clear.Last night was my free night on the D.I.E.T.--I'm always ready to get back on the plan the next morning. This is a totally new...
On the Way to Skinny
What a difference a day makes!
Yesterday, the weather was glorious here in Spokane--sunny and bright, with a crisp nip in the air--and today we're in line for snow. 🙂 I'm kind of looking forward to it--very pretty stuff, snow. In moderation.The D.I.E.T. continues to be fabulously...
Decompression Day
I'm decompressing from all the excitement of arrivals and departures, so no blog today. I promise I'll be back tomorrow.
It’s November? You’re kidding, right?

Another Beautiful Autumn Day
This lovely, lovely weather is so heartening for me. I just love it. (I'm working on learning to love snow, too, as the TV people say this is a la Nina year.) 🙂 Today, though, I'm in the moment--recent losses have reminded me how precious NOW...
Sunshine on My Shoulder
Today is a spectacularly beautiful fall day--every pine needle for miles shimmers with golden light, and the sky is sugar-bowl blue. There are a few leafy trees on the property and they are ablaze with the fire of autumn colors like crimson and gold. No...
Fergie
Mary Ann's little dog, Fergie, died unexpectedly yesterday afternoon, and we are all feeling pretty sad. She was a sweet little buff-colored mutt, and adored Mary Ann, who adored her right back. They were always together, sidekicks. Every morning...
