The Number One Cause of Bacterial Infections During the Warmer Months
When I was about six years old a tick lodged itself inside of my ear, which is not surprising since I played outdoors on most days. The little nasty critters not only hide in the woods but they can also be found hiding away in plants and shrubbery in the yard. They easily attach themselves to your... Sign in to see full entry.

This Sweet Surprise Was Hiding Away from Danger in Our Yard
This little guy was hiding away from danger, hidden deep inside our Iris plants. John just happened to see him scamper into the south side of our yard late in the afternoon. Perhaps the little guy was in need of a nap or some shade. Regardless, he wasn't afraid of us and allowed me to snap a photo... Sign in to see full entry.
Losing Your Father During the Week of Father's Day is Hard
Last week I took a trip to Delaware to meet up with my half-sisters. Our dad was a womanizer who left a trail of young mothers with babies that are now getting to know each other.

I Don't Make It Often, But I Can't Ignore a Special Request
I tend to stay away from making John steak due to red meat not being the best protein for our bodies when eaten regularly, but he asked me sweetly if I would make him the New York strip steak that he found in our freezer yesterday while digging out ice cream bars for the grandkids.

Today is the Perfect Day for A Family Gathering
Today is one of the nicest days as far as the weather goes for having an outdoor gathering to celebrate the dad's in our lives. It will be a sunny 78 degrees. I call this Goldilocks weather...not too hot, not too cold, but just right. Work obligations prevented us from celebrating Father's Day... Sign in to see full entry.

I Feed All of the Woodland Creatures Who Visit Our Yard
Yesterday evening when John and I arrived home after enjoying our borough's weekly summer outdoor concert, we walked up onto our sidewalk and were greeted by Mr. Slither. Black snakes are popular in our area due to living next to the river along with f the woods, but they normally do not travel into... Sign in to see full entry.

This Big Guy Hitched A Ride With Us When We Were In Delaware
We just returned home today from a short road trip to Delaware to meet my older sister for the first time. During our stay, we stopped at my favorite Amish store where they sell everything from Amish baked goods to garden supplies. The big guy below with the blue hat caught my eye immediately, so...
