He jumps at each one as it buzzes, which is probably almost painful for him when five or six are buzzing at the same time.  He wears me out as I attempt to walk him so he can relieve himself outside the house.  It is utterly frustrating.  Why can’t he just focus on the business […]

It’s just beautiful.  I’m guessing we have 3-4 inches of the white stuff.  It’s so clean, so soft, so pretty. I’ve put some black beans on the stove to cook for some soup that will taste so yummy when lunch time rolls around. I’ve noticed birds at the feeders that are never here.  I guess […]
