The Green Bean Thieves

This is why we don’t get to eat nearly as many green beans as we grow. Also Blogger is on my last nerve today!

Music to Soothe the Soul

We’re having tree limbs trimmed from around the house. Apparently Hutch thinks the chain saw is a huge bee. He was totally stressed out until I put on some music. He immediately quieted down. Apparently he’s a big oldies fan. Who knew?

May Snow Showers? The inside/outside contrast

 We’re having a good old fashioned spring snowstorm.
It’s oddly comforting because our weather has been anything but “normal” for so many years.

Covid 19 has also turned the world upside down so a snowstorm that turns my mind back to memories from years past is a good thing. It also helps that we can choose to wait for it to melt if we don’t feel like shoveling. I told DH he was tempting Mother Nature when he threw away a partially broken snow shovel a few weeks ago. :)

Scroll down for the contrast inside. My crazy Thanksgiving Cacti are blooming yet again! This is about 4 times since October. They would have been more impressive had the blooms come all at once but I’m actually enjoying their companionship more this way.

Waiting in Line for a Place in the Sun

Starsky the cat almost always beats the dogs to this sunny spot. He does it by anticipating and getting there before the sun does. Not bad for a half blind cat. He’s certainly earned his spot in the sun.

The dogs aren’t much in the way of being planners so they end up lining up to wait for their chance. Sometimes they get and other times they don’t but they never complain.

Spring here in the North Country & Hutch Wants a Fire


This was the Spring morning we awoke to.
















Hutch pulled down some kindling in an effort to
convince us that we should light the wood stove.
