Our Home

  • Strawberry Moon

    They call it a Strawberry Moon. Apparently from what I’ve read it’s because having a full moon on the Summer Solstice told olden cultures it was time to harvest. Seems a little early to me… I guess in Europe Strawberries aren’t common so they call it a Rose moon. It’s also known as a honey…

  • Hay!

    The other night I was sitting in the house doing homework. Between reading and studying I was about to go nuts. Hubby had taken Abug outside with him, so I snuck outside to see what they were up to; that’s when I heard the tractor running. We lucked out, some really good friends of ours…

  • Just Laugh

    Happy Labor Day. This supposedly marks the end of Summer even though we don’t officially hit fall until the end of this month… figure that one out! Just for a reason to make your day and help you laugh on a Monday (even though if you’re a lucky one you have the day off so…

  • Lazy Dawg Days of Summer

    Let’s set the record strait, yes, we have a swimming pool. No we didn’t open it this year. There’s lots of reasons why that I don’t feel like going into right now, but yes, yes we do have a swimming pool. Sunday the weather was sunny and hot! Hubby, Tbug, Abug and I went to…

  • Guard Dog

  • Happy Halloween!

    I guess I’ve never really gotten into the Halloween spirit… I lived in the country so really my parents used to drive me to my grandparents.  Then for a while my mom worked at a bank on the square in town and all the businesses would have the kids come trick-or-treat there, otherwise, that was…

  • Here Kitty Kitty

    I’ve recently mentioned but kind of breezed over the fact that we got a house cat recently.  I woke up one morning and scoped out Facebook when I saw that a friend was trying to help her friend find a home for this cat. Now, Earl and Pokey have a cat that every time I’m…
