I don’t know where I first saw this, but I wanted to share. This woman won the Ukraine’s Got Talent, and the clip is eight minutes long, but so worth it. It is incredible what she can do, and even more incredible that she thought of even doing it.  (This is coming from me [...]

I found this at the bottom of our road. I think it is a fungus, but might be a mushroom. One thing for sure, it is pretty.

It is chilly here; suppose to go down to 45 tonight.  I think I should bring in the ferns.

Today is Dianna’s birthday, but I forget which one. If she gets older, it means I get older, so I like to think of her as very young. Actually, when I met her, she was very young. I was teaching in New Jersey and I met her when I did some home tutoring. She was [...]

Rain and more rain….and no sign of it ending. The yard is a sponge; the chickens have become ducks.   I am no kidding, it is a real mess.

This is growing on a tree near our fence. I have no idea if it has anything to do with the rain, but I thought it was pretty.

This [...]

It is still raining here, and raining hard. I am sick of it. The poor chickens are living in mud. I gave them some fresh straw today, in hopes of keeping them somewhat dry. I changed the straw in their house too.  At least it is not cold.

Poor soaking wet Butter Bean.  I have noticed [...]

Western North Carolina’s rain forest is returning. Seriously, it has rained for months now. We have a nice, sunny day every now and then, but mostly rain. We had been in a serious drought for the past few years, and I was told that if we did not get enough rain this year, the [...]

First, a non-fair photo. I [...]

That darn bear was back last night. Both dogs barked for an hour, and then Brando cried for another two. He was so scared; it was rather amusing.  Xena would run out the dog door, and Brando would stand back and bark. He was not going anywhere near a scary bear. I got stung by [...]
