My Daily Travels

John and I are regular foragers, mainly because we are surrounded by the river and the woods. Over the past ten years, we have transplanted many different species of flowers from nearby locations and each spring results in many delightful surprises. The top photo is a flower that we transplanted... Sign in to see full entry.

Recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives and math nerds everywhere, today is Pi Day, the annual celebration observed on March 14 due to the first three digits of pi being 3, 1, and 4. In 2019, UNESCO designated March 14 as the International Day of Mathematics. Today is also a great excuse to... Sign in to see full entry.

After discussing some lunch options with my better half, I ran to the store to purchase some croissants that will pair nicely with deviled egg salad. John and I both love sandwiches and since I made a batch of deviled eggs yesterday, so we decided that if we chopped up the remaining deviled eggs,... Sign in to see full entry.

I get various meal requests from my hubby when he is working a regular shift and will actually make it home for dinner, even though that won't be until 9:00 pm.

The weather report is calling for rain all day, so this makes for the perfect day to do laundry, watch Netflix movies, and eat unhealthy food and snacks. I have been craving a breakfast sandwich with sausage, so that is what I will be ordering for my dinner later today. John will be doing a... Sign in to see full entry.

Gotta take advantage of the weather while we can, and thankfully, Pittsburgh will be treated to another 70-something-degree day today, so John and I plan to fire up the grill later this afternoon. Later, I will slow-bake a rack of baby back ribs in the oven and then finish them off on the grill with... Sign in to see full entry.
