This garden . . . what do you call it?  Gate?  Bench?  Trellis?  Ok, we’ll go all-in-one and call it a Garden Feature. There. This Garden Feature  is something that Dad had bought but never could figure out how to use in his own garden, so it laid in the mud at his house all [...]

There’s not much to note (still stalling on house projects, still shopshopshopping in 32 tabs), I do have a few pictures. (Yay, a break from the novels!) A bit of truth in this bumper sticker I spied while out with Mom:   What seems to be a lovely place to perch in the walled garden [...]

Oh my, people, it’s a three-cup-of-coffee morning. I’m still set up in the dining room from when Knobby moved me down here during the drywall day.  That was, of course, when we thought it would be a three day ordeal, however . . . I’m sort of loving being down here.  So much easier to [...]

We had a drywall guy over on Friday. Our staircase previously looked like this: It was worse than it looks here . . . water damage marks all the way up the stairs, and on the ceiling . . . and almost every time you walked up and down the stairs, or if the house [...]

Rain, rain, go away, please come back another day. That’s the chant in Pixy’s head right now, because it’s been two weekends in a row that have been all rain, all doom and gloom. In between the weekends, there was a bit of break in the rain, enough that Knobby got one of his personal [...]

Chug a chug a chug. Let’s see, rained all weekend.  Seemed it did not once let up. Rain and the foggy gloom makes it quite a drab day, quite a drab weekend. Obviously the lawn-mowing was out of the question. Knobby mowed the lawn for the first time this year, two weekends ago.  Last weekend [...]

Yesterday was a Day of Enthusiastic Work. Those sorts of days are never expected, so it was quite a surprise. I woke up at the crack of eight in the morning (this is completely unassisted), made myself a cup of coffee, started a blog entry, made myself another cup of coffee, and while Knobby was [...]

Went to my doctor’s appointment today, left with . . . not one, not two, but SEVEN prescriptions. Vertigo . . . for the wobbly win! Did you know that Lorazepam is prescribed to combat vertigo?  I already take that for panic attacks, but didn’t know I could have taken it for this as well. [...]

I mentioned before I’d dropped the ball on the Guest Room painting,  but . . . now I’ve picked the ball back up, dusted it off, and we’re sprinting for the . . .end zone, goal, whatever sport you choose to follow.  I’m not picky. (I’m also not very familiar with sport terminology.) Point being [...]

Well. I have no pictures for you today, because . . . well, nothing in the past few days has been worth picture-taking. ~We had a man out to pump the septic tank (let me interject an oh-so-mature “ewwwwww” here), and it turns out that this DID take away The Stench inside the house . [...]
