Ok, so it turns out the food pictures and text I posted are copyrighted material, so they are now gone.
Paradise Found clued me in with her comment: “Those images are from the book “Hungry Planet” by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio. Menzel also created “Material World” which shows families outside of their homes, as mentioned […]

It’s been very cold here the past day or so…
I woke up this morning and everything was covered with a delicate filigree of ice.
It was so beautiful I had to take pictures, of course.
The big evergreens on the hill behind the barn looked majestic (and Christmasy!) with their dusting of white…
But I really loved getting up close and […]

Corgi’s are herding dogs and supposed to be pretty smart. According to this scale rating the intelligence of the various dog breeds, they come in at #11. Border Collies come in first… no surprise there! Afghan hounds are at the very bottom of the list.

It’s still bitter cold though, and I’m not looking forward to my trip to the […]

I keep looking out, watching for the dawn to start lightening the sky… but it’s still very dark for this time of morning. The clouds must be very thick and […]

There is nothing new going on in terms of M. The pdoc is still out of […]

This is likely to be a different kind of post. Rather than a “what we did today” post, this will probably be more of a “thinking out loud to process something” post…
If you’re not into rambling, you might want to skip this… go visit my friends here, here, or here. They surely have more interesting stuff […]

We spent most of yesterday up at Children’s Hospital. Yesterday morning was M’s appointment in the Movement Disorders clinic… an appointment I’d been anxiously waiting for. They only have this clinic one half day every other month, so we were lucky to get in as quickly as we did. (It only took about a month…) Neurologists […]

….you might as well make a cup of tea and plan on settling in for a while. This is likely to be a long one…
The big news at our house is the sudden influx of new pets. It started with this feisty little one…
Her name is Sweet Pea and she was a gift to R […]
