Utilities
On Friday, we woke up to flashing blue lights, no power, and downed trees. I’m thinking my Craftsman battery saws aren’t going to be able to tackle this clean up. On the plus side, it didn’t hit anything. On the … Continue reading

A while back, I was scrolling Netflix and wondered if there were any Jesse Stone movies I hadn’t seen so I googled. I was a little surprised but had myself a good hearty laugh when I read: “CBS canceled the … Continue reading

Under the weather
I started not feeling well last week and after questions, exam, and tests, the medical diagnosis wasn’t exactly what I had expected – Flu Type A. I’d had the requisite fall flu shot, but apparently it doesn’t cover this strain. … Continue reading

Nostalgia
It’s that time of year when we think of loved ones and celebrations, and the memories and smiles just bubble up. Holiday decorating with our daughter and then our grandchildren sleeping over on Thanksgiving so we could decorate the next … Continue reading
November
This past weekend, we changed our clocks back one hour. If you want to read a well written post about the topic, drop over to my friend Jon’s, Antilandscaper blog about Time Zone Funk. I love that post, but I’d … Continue reading

Fall Color
New England winter is white or brown, spring is green, summer is a colorful array, and fall, well, fall is gold, orange, and red. It’s a beautiful thing. We received 3 1/2″ of rain last week in about a 36 … Continue reading

Fall
The calendar tells us fall has arrived. I could have told everyone that by the 42°F reading when I make coffee in the morning or the chili that was in the crockpot yesterday. 🙂 We received 3″ of rain last … Continue reading
