On the Saturday of the eclipse i had to work. It was a good thing though because it meant i could help take the patients out to see the eclipse. I was worried that on the weekend there wouldnt be anybody with that mindset but unbeknownst to me Rosemary was on the schedule. She’s full …

Lollies from Australia
I have watched this one family make hand pulled candies in their shop in Australia on youtube for years. They put different colored logs of heated candy together in a pattern so that when you pull and cut it there is an image in the middle of each one. Well i recently found out two …
A Quick Repair to the Chicken Coop Door
The chicken coop has been repaired a few times now. Chickens like to peck and pry at anything shiny. So of course the chicken coop screws had to be silver. They’ve removed a few and ive had to put in little black replacements. They’ve also worn down the wood the door ledge was screwed into …
A Drive-by Pop-up Storm
One night a blip exploded onto the radar. It slid diagonally right past us. It created itself out of nowhere in the heat. We didn’t get a drop of moisture but we did get a good lightening show. I stood in the yard and watched it for a time before going to sleep.
The 4.5 Hour Oil Change
It is what it is. I signed a contract stating i understood the requirements on my end to uphold the lifetime warranty for the engine and transmission in my car.

A Return to the Dog Run
With the weather well into the 100s for several months, the dogs have been living in the crates in the house while im at work. It is not the quality of life i want for them but there’s just no way i can leave them out when the weather is like that. The chickens were …
Sula
There was no evidence of deer in the yard for 3 or 4 days, despite me leaving watermelon rind and the chicken scratch being everywhere the chickens flung it. There was no poop, no tracks, and no indentations in the dirt where they slept at night. Sula and her youngest daughter “Little One” were gone. …
