If I were serious about losing a few pounds, I probably shouldn’t have chosen the cherry-topped, key-lime pie painting I’m now using as my computer-desktop image. It’s only temporary.

Fifteen Things
Posted in list, tagged bike, Diabetes, funk, garden, golf, Graeters, grammar, high school, ice cream, mice, Scooter on May 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday I put on my dog-walking shoes and my foot found a dead mouse nestled in the toe.
I have been in a bit of a funk because I have nothing of consequence to do.
Deb and I both bought new drivers in Denver, and I am finally hitting the ball long and straight off the [...]
Maggie’s Spot Sees My Spot

Remember that red spot on my lip that I told you about? Well, let’s just say that when that damned dermatologist said the cream she gave me would make a “red spot,” she was understating it. It looks as if someone held me down and burned me with a lit cigar. This spot is big [...]
I Hammer Just Fine

The last productive thing I did on Memorial Day was to prepare the honey supers for the bees. The clover is blooming in our yard, and I felt terrible cutting the grass because it meant also cutting all those flowers from the clover. We used to hate all those little white flowers all over the [...]
Henry’s Roughed Up
Posted in cat on May 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Something really big got a bite out of Henry. When we drove up from the airport on Saturday, Henry met us in the driveway…he was sitting there, but he was sort of weaving around, too. And blood was dripping. Oh boy, was he gashed good. Two ugly raw spots with deep punctures. I think a [...]
Where’s My Small Town?

You know we’re not going to Italy this summer, right? We thought about it, but the trip never materialized. I don’t know why. For some reason, I just couldn’t get into it. Weird. I can’t really get behind a big vacation this year. I’m much more inclined to head into the mountains and hike or [...]
The Ball Flies Farther in Denver, Colorado
Posted in Travel, tagged Friends, golf on May 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We’re off this afternoon for Denver to spend some time with our friends, Kay and Sherry. And I guess I’m off to get my butt handed to me on a silver platter in golf. Of course, that statement makes it sound as if these folks are competitive, which they are not. Unless they’re losing. And [...]

I love May. I love May 17th. I love hearing it said and seeing it written. Today is my birthday. And it’s not raining. It’s also not warm…today is quite chilly…right now, I think the temperature is about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (we have some international friends here, Reader…that Fahrenheit detail is for them). It will [...]
Falling in Love with Irvine, Kentucky
Posted in Farm, tagged Irivne, Kentucky, Lunch Box, movies on May 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Can’t someone turn off this RAIN? Okay, it’s better than snow, but I want to get outside and do something more than cut the grass between cloudbursts.
We spent last weekend at the farm without running water and without electricity. Pipes had burst in the house, and we knew we’d have no water; but then while [...]
“Two Honey’s” Bee Movie
Posted in bees, tagged bees, brood box, swarm hive on May 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Here are our beehives in the late afternoon. The taller structure is the more rambunctious swarm hive we inherited from my bee buddy, Chris. We added another deep brood box to it on Sunday because this group is growing and working like crazy. Next door is the calmer hive we installed with the bees and the [...]
