It's A Gloomy and Wet Day So I Have My Slow Cooker Blipping Away

We are sitting smack dab in the middle of high waters again due to a storm pushing its way through from the west. The flood warnings began yesterday afternoon once it began raining non-stop. It is a chilly 59 degrees today, so I broke out the crockpot earlier this morning, and it is now slowly... Sign in to see full entry.

One Small Pennsylvania Town Was Crowned the #1 Town in the U.S.

Unsurprisingly, Ohiopyle was crowned with the No. 1 spot on USA Today's list for best small towns in the Northeast. It is one of my favorite summer destinations in the state. The quaint little town has been referred to as Nature's Playground, attracting outdoor enthusiasts throughout all four... Sign in to see full entry.

A Rare Beauty

She is the one and only of her kind that showed up in my yard. I just love her color. Even the little bee that I found inside of her petal appears to love this flower. 🐝 Sign in to see full entry.

I Woke Up This Morning Feeling Like I Got Ran Over By A Dump Truck

Yesterday was a hardcore day in the yard with weeding the flowerbeds, mowing the grass, and trimming the hedges and the flowerbed borders. Some of our grass was ankle-deep due to all of the rain from the past few weeks. The fruits of all that labor reared its ugly head in the form of sore muscles... Sign in to see full entry.

The 2024 Eclipse

We live roughly 2 1/2 hours from Erie, Pennsylvania, where the eclipse showed off its best between 3:16 and 3:20 in the Northwestern part of my state. Even with the protective glasses, it was brighter than expected. Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Making Amped Up Classic Burgers On Rye Bread Today

Back in the mid-eighties when I worked at the enlisted club on the military base in Nevada, we served classic patty melts. My hubby and I met at that club back in 1986 and not only did he fall in love with me, he flipped over the club's popular patty melt. April is our anniversary month, so he...

My Plan for the Day Involves Making Savory Italian Food for Dinner

One of John's top five favorite meals is spicy Italian sausage nestled in a colorful bed of peppers, garlic, onions, and herbed red sauce served on a toasted sub roll, so that is the plan for dinner today. It is chilly outside, but the rain has stopped, so after dinner, I plan to take a walk to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Calm After the Storm

All signs of the rain and flooding are gone, and in its place is a rainbow that has situated itself over my small borough of Elizabeth. Sign in to see full entry.

Timing Is Everything and It Led to the Confusion

After having nearly a week's worth of rain and a few days of high winds, John and I assumed that our bathroom ceiling leak was due to a loose shingle. After a break in the rain yesterday, John climbed up on our roof and surveyed any possible damages. Thankfully, he found that everything was still... Sign in to see full entry.

The Rain is Showing Its Ass Today In More Ways Than One

Not only are we experiencing flooding in my area, but my bathroom ceiling sprung a leak last night. The bad part is that John can't even begin to see where the roof is leaking from because it has not stopped raining for the past few days and my neck of the woods is showing rain until tomorrow...
