It's the week of Halloween, and it's time to appreciate our mini-panthers, our black cats who rule us, sit and purr in our laps, and shed black cat hair all over the house. I have had a black cat in my home for the last about 30 years (not the same one!). Our home would …
My readers will know that I follow many accounts from and about cats. Missy, the tabby cat with the beautiful blue-green eyes and the always-serious expression was my most favorite of them all. Her mom is an excellent photographer so we always had new photos of her to admire. Here are some of the ones …

Most often, what comes to mind when you think of "quiet hours", you imagine sunrise and sunset. But even if the background noise is audible, you can be quiet in your own little bubble and tune everything else out. This photo of the Skagit River near Rockport, Washington was taken in the late afternoon. Despite …

After a busy, stressful week at work (made more stressful than ever since my boss left the company this week), it is an absolute necessity to find something to recharge your internal soul-battery. When I am at home, my recharge area is my bedroom. I am making a dent in our mattress from sitting on …
