Welcome to the suet feeder, woodpeckers! And chickadee!

Just watching out my back glass door, as numerous birds come to take advantage of our feeders, both seed and suet.

All of our trick- or-treaters were polite kids, with parents on the sidewalk.

But some truck-or-treaters in Louisiana spoiled the Halloween experience for everyone around. Their second big mistake was stealing all the Halloween candy, AND some pumpkins from someone’s porch, within sight of the wide-angle doorbell camera. Their first and biggest mistake was using their work van with the company logo and information in bold letters on …

In Western Washington, we are in the midst of what the meteorologists call an “atmospheric river”, known to the rest of the world as a rainstorm. It is mild, rainy, and windy, well-known to natives. The Lady …

Friday Funnies, Halloween in Aiken edition

We just returned from our trip to the Carolinas. On our last day, our friend took us for a pleasant walk through downtown Aiken, SC.

A vacation to the Carolinas.

Neither hubby nor I had ever been to the Carolinas, so when we received an invitation to a Hillsdale College Economic Forum in Charlotte, I jumped at the chance to visit. What clinched it was the fact that one of the speakers would be the young database guru who goes by the X handle of …
