Still here, just not as often
I’m still here, but sometimes blogging takes a back seat. Almost every day I make the hour drive to my father’s house. He is in hospice care at home, and I want to be there to help take care of him or just to sit and talk. His conversations often don’t make much sense, but…
My 9th blogging anniversary

Looking on the bright side
“I resolved that, like the sun, as long as my day lasted, I would look on the bright side of everything.” (Thomas Hood) Once again, I’ve been away from blogging for quite a while.

Away for the holidays

My 7th Blogging Anniversary!
WordPress recently reminded me that I created my blog site seven years ago. My first post was on August 1, 2012 and was an account, illustrated with photos, of why I live in the woods. I blog because I love to and never thought I would have any blog followers outside of a small circle of…
Under the weather
For about three weeks now I’ve been feeling rather bad. Sinus congestion, earaches, headaches, dizziness, feeling sick. The doctor said it was probably severe allergies and advised that I take over-the-counter medications. I got better, and then it all returned. Then I tried every natural remedy I could think of, but after the room began…
