I’m sorry for missing yesterday. The ragweed is really giving me a run for my money this Fall. It’s the only thing I hate about Fall. I was so excited this weekend to get outside and do some Fall planting. I bought what may have been the last pansies at Lowes. I cleaned up a…

August Break 2014 – Day 31
I had Paseo (the one of the right) for four years before I brought Daisy home to live with us. Paseo was pretty happy being an only dog; he used to give me a look that seemed to convey, “Why did you bring her here?” But over the last eight years they’ve become pretty close;…
August Break 2014 – Day 25
I realize this isn’t the first photo of Olive I’ve included this August Break, but today’s prompt is “little.” Since Olive’s alternative name is Itty-Bitty, I didn’t think there was a better subject to exemplify little.
August Break 2014 – Day 23
Today’s prompt is “Adornment.” This is a photo of my latest adornment: road rash, compliments of tripping over a 60 pound labrador while out on a run. My Dad would say that this is what I get for running.
August Break 2014 – Day 16
Today’s prompt is “Look Down.” When I look down, I often see one of four faces staring back at me. This one might make me smile the most. When Olive came to live with me, she was incredibly skittish; I never would have been able to take a photo like this. She’s still a pretty…
And Then There Were Four
Last week I mentioned that a stray dog had appeared at my house. I’ve been searching for her family ever since. She did not have a collar/tags or microchip. I posted her photo on my neighborhood (and surrounding neighborhoods) message board, Craigslist, and contacted the OKC animal shelter. I can’t understand why, but nobody seemed to…
In the Garden
It’s really beginning to heat up outside and so far the garden is loving it. My basil is doing really well. I’ve counted three tomatoes. Even one of the marigold plants that I found in the bargain rack at Lowes is doing really well. I seeded another section of bermuda last week. I can’t wait…
Lately…
I spent this weekend with my parents. They are selling their house, my childhood home, and moving into a smaller place. I’ve been going crazy taking pictures of everything. It’s weird to think that someone else will be living there soon. It was a great house to grow up in. I won’t bore you with…
Under the Weather
Diego – On Top of the World Sorry for the spotty posting this week. The little guy has been under the weather and I’ve found it a little hard to concentrate. When a bird gets sick, things can go south pretty quickly, especially with a bird Diego’s size. I haven’t done myself any favors…
Et Cetera
Wow. I’m tired. I saw The Hunger Games last night. It was quite an experience. When we arrived at the mall around 10:00 we were surprised to find a line wrapped around the entire mall. Some teenagers had apparently been there since 6:00 in the morning. The wait really wasn’t too bad. After walking the…
