Not Long Now
Peaches is failing fast. G has been trying to tempt her to eat and she tries, but then just has to go outside and throw up, which takes even more out of her. I have begged her (G) just not to feed her. If she wants something, she’ll let us know. She drinks water. She [...]
Perfecting Small Batches
Trying to scale down recipes for two people is difficult. I’m used to cooking large batches of things and not having too much left over. But it’s been just two of us for a while and we are trying to be better about portion control and not tossing out leftovers we don’t eat. I personally [...]
Don’t Forget–It’s Nearly Smack-Time!
Eggy put up her usual reminder a couple of weeks ago, but if any of you are having the month I am, another one might be in order. Battle Salad is just around the corner! I hope you’ve been finding lots of fresh goodies to create your salad with. Here Chez Grumpy, the greens are [...]
Drive Me Crazy
Nothing turns me into a snarling, growling, epithet-hurling harpy faster than bad and/or rude driving. I grew up and learned to drive in Atlanta from the inching-across-town on the “connector” days to the days of Spaghetti and Malfunction junctions. If you’ve ever driven in Atlanta, you will know what I mean. A trip to LA [...]
Pure Enjoyment
I just came in from my usual morning sit on the bench in the photo at the top of the blog. This is fast becoming my favorite place in the yard, maybe on Earth. The yard this year is more beautiful and welcoming than it has been in a long time. I’m not sure what [...]
Haiku Monday – Stress
It’s Sunday already? Where is the time going? The days and weeks of this year are flying past my head with the flutter of hummingbird wings. Whew! This week’s Haiku Monday theme is “stress”. I’m sure NONE of you have any of that, right? Yes, I thought so. Moi is hosting this week. Go over [...]
Lt. Dan Comes to Pueblo
And the grannies had some fun!
Totally Hooked
I watch more TV than I probably should but I’m not really invested in any of it other than DWTS. It’s just my guilty pleasure. Then, along came “Scandal.” Created by the same woman who did “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice”, neither of which have I watched more than an episode or two. But this. [...]
Haiku Monday – What Now?
This is a message to all of last week’s participants in Haiku Monday – Crossroads. As of noon today, Mountain time, I have not heard from Linda regarding her winning haiku, therefore, I’m not sure what to do next. I can pick another winner, but that doesn’t give her/him much time to pick a theme [...]
Running Away – Part One
G and I did our Stanley Hotel getaway this past week, and I don’t know when I’ve had a better time anywhere. The day before we left, it rained all day in Pueblo, great for the garden, but we wondered what the weather would be like at 7500 feet. We needn’t have worried. We had [...]
