OOPs! That snow was just too heavy during the most recent storm in Delaware, Feb 2026. Mature Bradford Pear crumples and splits away from its trunk

Clean and shiny after a bath - was so brave!

Good-bye, Sweet Boy. Find Jester and chase squirrels to your heart's content. Thank you for being my little shadow for 17+ years

Holidays are a great excuse to exercise the "no"-baking skills!
Cranberry Cool Whip Cream pie in a graham cracker crumb crust, and from-scratch Chocolate Pudding pie in a baked flour shell (old family recipe).

The house was so empty without my buddy. So, we’ve adopted Tux to fill the space!

Missing you so much. Thank you for being my buddy for over 16 years.

Death in Paradise: Season 2, Episode 7
“I survived ‘87”, Ha! So did I! Was in Chelsea, London during the 1987 hurricane. I always giggle whenever a reference to that event comes up

First lawn mowing of the season today - front and back (just under a 1/2 acre lot). Really wish I had a riding mower, especially on the first of the season mows! Walked a total of 3.2 miles and I'm ready for a sit-down :)

Dinner! Made a creamy dill potato salad with fresh dill from our hydroponic herb garden and an eggless meatloaf to accommodate my egg allergy. Yummy!!

Cool lichen found on downed tree branches

I also contacted my State Rep and my Representatives in the Senate - this is SOOO not my SOP
