It's a Perfect Day for Putzing Around the Yard and Making a Simple Dinner
It's 54 degrees, sunny, and there is absolutely no wind. I am doing damage control in the yard today that occurred after the mini tornado tore through our yard a few days ago. There are quite a few broken branches to clean up, and I have started pulling my spring decorations out of the shed, a...

These Beautiful Creatures are a Really Big Deal in My Neck of the Woods

The Calm After the Storm
My yard was completely ravaged by yesterday's storm, but after a bit of cleaning up this morning, everything is back to where it was before all hell broke loose. Today is warm, sunny, and full-on blue skies ahead. It is the perfect day for heading to the park with my unexpected visitors. My youngest...

Despite a Nice Temperature of 70 Degrees, This is An Extreme Impact Day
High winds, rain, and an on-again-off-again severe thunderstorm has threatened our power for much of the afternoon with regular reminders of flickering lights and cable resets. My windmill is spinning so fast that I fear that it will spin off of its axis. For now, I am patiently waiting the storm...

Our Yard Had A Lot of Debris from Last Night's Storm
When I walked out to the yard this morning to fill the bird feeders, I was shocked by the large number of broken tree limbs and overturned yard ornaments that were attacked by last night's heavy wind and rain. Before heading off to work, John helped me with the cleanup. We live in a virtual tornado...

We've Had Pouring Down Rain and the Loud Thunder Boomers Since Last Night
I woke up to a loud crash around 4:30 am, followed by another horrendous loud noise a few minutes later. My bedroom window illuminated the outdoor activity that was causing all of the ruckus that let me know that there was major activity going on. I walked into the kitchen, opened the door, and was...

After Gorging for the Past Few Days, It's Time To Lose A Few Pounds
When John is off of work I tend to eat heavier meals. I can often later feel the effects of gorging when I zip up my jeans. Five added pounds can be the difference between night and day. Luckily I have a Peletron that enables me to work off two days of unwanted calories and flab. I jump on the...

A Sunny and Warm Spring Day, So We Will Be Hanging Out in the Yard
Yesterday afternoon, John and I enjoyed a festive date night dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Old Mexico doesn't go light with the servings, and the atmosphere along with the food is authentic. Today, I woke up to the sun blaring through the main picture window, so I was immediately drawn...

It's the First Day of Spring, and It is Sunny and Warm Here in Pittsburgh
Compared to the snow flurries that arrived unexpectedly on Saturday, today is warm and sunny, and much too nice to stay indoors. It is the quintessential way for spring to show off her better attributes. Besides a half-hour oil change scheduled this afternoon at our local garage for "Little Blue,"...
