Circumstances.
I am known for my brilliant plans. My brilliant follow-through, not so much. Which isn’t for lack of trying on my part. I put forth incredible effort. It’s just that Circumstances always get in the way. I hate Circumstances. This year, my brilliant plan was to keep guineas in the garden to eat all the […]
Pollination
The local planetarium held a special event to celebrate pollinators. It was educational. Outdoors. And free. The trifecta of summer fun.
Happy 4th of July

A Royal Decree.
Hear ye, hear ye! The Royal couple, Queen Brianna and King Merlin, are proud to announce the Princess Magenta has given birth!
What do the City Folk do on Easter Sunday?
Church, perhaps? Maybe brunch? Enjoying that special Peeps cake I made for dessert after stuffing ourselves full of ham? I’m just assuming that’s what they do since that’s what we had planned, too.
