My readers will have seen my previous posts on trips to Uwajimaya, our local Asian grocery store. On previous trips, I just took photos of the vegetables, which the store arranges meticulously so they are very photogenic. Just today, my husband needed to restock his Udon noodles, so I went along to get a change …

I had a doctor's appointment this week, in the city of Edmonds, which is on the shore of Puget Sound. The day was bright and sunny, and on my way to her office, I noticed that I could see a very beautiful view across to the Kitsap Peninsula. So, after my appointment was over, I …
Life is full of Special Moments, if you will only open your eyes and notice. It's all in how you look at things. Just this past week, I was in my computer room, writing a post for this blog. When I write, I am pretty much oblivious to most of what's going on around me, …

I just found this story in my new go-to news source, The Epoch Times. It seems that, back in 2017, a British man with a metal-detector was fooling around on a local Northamptonshire golf course, when he unearthed a tiny figurine, made of gold. Wow! He did some extensive research, and found out that the …
Aaahhhhh... Soft. Brings to mind something my hero used to call himself...just a lovable little fuzzball. Well, it just so happens that I am owned by a lovable little Fuzzball. Her name is Kikyo, and her fur is the softest. When she is in the same room, I just can't help but pick her up …
So..... In a month characterized by a nationwide Snow Storm, that left Streets Slippery with Snow and ice, where do we begin?

Still more of our avian friends, visiting our yard for the excellent seeds and suet. This is our Song-sparrow. See how puffed-up he is, against the cold. He likes to hog the seed feeder-sometimes he will just sit there for long minutes. This is the female of our pair of Varied Thrushes. Her chest-stripe is …
We have a few squirrels who frequent our yard, using the high fence as their highway to get around all the yards. One of them showed up this afternoon, and gave us all sorts of fun antics to laugh at. Here he is on the fence, obviously trying to decide what kind of mischief to …
Yippee! Snow!! Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have been hearing for a couple of weeks that snow was in the forecast. They kept pushing the date back, however, which is pretty normal around here. Last night, around midnight, it did start to snow, and we awoke this morning to see the white stuff falling …
