It's a Very Contradictory Day

Looking outside from my office window, the bright sunshine and blue sky appeared to be enticingly warm, but once I walked outside to feed my woodland creatures, I found that there was a definite chill in the air. Days like this make me want to enjoy a warm bowl of soup with a hot grilled sandwich... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Not Tuesday, but It is Happening Anyway

For the most part, I tend to plan dinner according to what day of the week it is, and the weekends are usually reserved for anything goes, which typically includes fast food. Tuesdays are normally reserved for tacos, enchiladas, or some other Mexican fare. I love loaded nachos, so that is what is... Sign in to see full entry.

Time and Online Shopping Have Not Killed This Popular Shopping Center Yet

So many malls, stores, and outlets in and around Pittsburgh have closed down over the last decade due to a decline in shoppers who prefer to shop and order online. I still enjoy walking into stores so that I can actually touch and try on items that I wish to buy. The Miracle Mile Shopping Center,... Sign in to see full entry.

My Leftovers Will Be the Focal Point for Our After Christmas Brunch Today

I love morphing my leftover holiday spiral ham into multiple meals. Waste not, want not. Yesterday, I froze the ham bone from my spiral ham, along with a few good pieces of the solid meat. It will later be used for my favorite 15-bean soup when the weather is cooler. Today, I am using the thin... Sign in to see full entry.

Such A Waste of a Forgotten Beauty

Abandoned on a lonely corner, this Philadelphia beauty is unhappily waiting to be demolished. This is such a waste from days gone by. If only her walls could talk, the stories that she could tell. Sign in to see full entry.

Our Christmas Eve Troublemaker

I wondered why all of my squirrels were ignoring the seeds, nuts, and treats that I put out for them this morning. Even my woodpecker skipped out on his morning lard and nut feast at the suet. As stunning as he is to see, this hawk is a huge troublemaker who will make a feast out of any tiny... Sign in to see full entry.

This Little Bugger is As Busy as a Bee, Pecking Away in Our Yard

This little beauty is a regular visitor to the suet that I provide for him so that he may peck away as he pleases. Woodpeckers are hard to attract unless you set up an area with their favorites...that being a birdbath, black sunflower seeds, dead trees for boring holes, fruit-bearing plants, and...

It is the Most Strangest Christmas of All in Western Pennsylvania This Year

I can't honestly remember this time of year being this warm in Pittsburgh. We are expecting a high of 59 degrees on Christmas Day. So far this year, we have had one dusting that came along during a three-day freeze, but that snow melted just as soon as the sky opened up and allowed some sun to break...

Some of the oldest graves are of soldiers who fought in the French and Indian War. Many of them were moved here from... Sign in to see full entry.
