Yesterday I was able to spend a delightful afternoon with one of my best friends. We talk often but had not seen each other since the Spring of 2021. But, as is the case, it was if no time had passed since last we hung out. Once I put you in the FRIEND column, that’s just the way it is. It could be years between phone calls or face to face visits but time does not matter for me. That is the power of friendship.
Our day together was simple enough. Continue reading

So this year, after many seasons of non-gardening, I decided to buy some flower seeds and add a little summer color. After much deliberation, I settled on marigolds.
Why? I’ve never particularly liked marigolds. I like zinnias and nasturtiums and daisies. Zinnias were too tall for the area I was planting. I’ve done nasturtiums over and over. Daisies were not to be found on this particular seed rack. So I plucked a packet of marigold seeds off the display and thought how sunny and lovely the orange and yellow hues would be for myself and Continue reading
Two separate Bigfoot sightings in 2021 occurring in Ashland, Ohio just a few miles apart from each other could make this area of the country a prime place to visit if you hope to catch a glimpse of North America’s famed but unconfirmed wood ape population.
On April 24, 2021 a woman in Ashland County, Ohio had an encounter with one of the most elusive creatures on Earth known to man, a Bigfoot, as she was leaving her gym.
Then on June 9, 2021, an Ashland County man believes he may have also witnessed a Bigfoot as he was mowing his lawn. Is there a convergence of Sasquatch happening in Ashland, Ohio in this, the summer of 2021? Continue reading
Goodbye Abby Roads.
Abby The Tabby Pretty Girl Might Change. Abby Pretty Girl. Abby Girl. Abby.
You were such a good girl. You saved me when my heart was broken. I spent nearly 18 years preparing myself for this day so I wouldn’t feel such pain again. But it didn’t work. My heart is broken again.
Goodnight sweet Abby, the best kitty in the world since my last best cat in the world. I hope you knew how very much you were loved. I hope I was a good fur mom to you. You were such a good girl, even when you were bad. I will love you forever.
Abby Girl | Born August 1, 2003 | Adopted December 4, 2003 | Died June 8, 2021

Goodbye 2020.
We are done. I am over you. I will never look back on you with fondness. I’m breaking up with you forever… 2020 you were the worst year ever! Okay, that might be a stretch. I’m sure there were years that were seriously terrible in comparison. How about… 2020 you were certainly the weirdest and most annoying year ever. Continue reading
