Caught this guy lurking among my plants. I wonder what sort of mischief he’s up to…. Happy Easter weekend! However you celebrate, I hope it’s lovely. I think I’m still traumatized from the last time I encountered an Easter bunny, ha, so I’ll just be taking it easy this weekend. This tutorial for updating […]

I’ve been feeling kind of discombobulated this week after Steven surprised me with a little mid-week overnight trip to the coast for Valentine’s Day. We stayed in the Sou’wester, which is a funny campground/lodge/motel park in southern Washington where you can stay in a vintage travel trailer. It was cute and very up my alley, but there […]

This week I had a bad cold, but I’m feeling much better already, and ready to enjoy the weekend. I just googled “when is the super bowl,” to verify whether it’s tomorrow, so I will continue my lifetime streak of never watching it. But Steven and I have a list of movies currently in theaters […]
