Mom to two grown boys and two rambunctious dogs. I enjoy gardening, birding, reading, writing, and watching TV with my husband. Oh! And wine. Can't forget about the wine!

A String of Bad Days (and What Happened When That Good Day Finally Came Along)
It's been a string of bad days with depression, anxiety and more. But they made me realise something important when that one good day came along.

real life is only a dream
of real life
in the mind

minds.
but even this is not
what it seems.
after all
what is real
about a dream?

Question for #birds enthusiasts: How do you deter Cowbirds from dominating your feeders?

I have already tried safflower seed--they munch it up, tube feeders--they hang on it and eat, and I have suet feeders, which they also hang and eat from. What else can I do?

I definitely need to check this book out!
NEW RELEASE!

If I pull my gun, I’ll have a dozen trained on me before I even get to my feet. I could maybe throw the table over, grab Piper, and we could make a run for it… Everything important to him is riding on this hand.

So pretty!

It's a bit cold in the garden (for us) but the roses are still blooming! Some, joyously purple!

Agreed.
Hot take: there are too many supermoons of various types these days. Let's just have one every ten years or so.

Love this. Those cookies look delicious!
Thank goodness for baking! I was having a rough, disheartened morning when I suddenly realized: if I start baking now, I can be eating cookies in less than HALF AN HOUR.

And I was! ✨Magic. ✨ (It really did turn my day around!)

Nobody tells you how much of your life you end up saving for later with chronic pain. You can't go to the thing because you need energy for the other thing.

The Four of Pentacles isn't just about control, it's about the grief of rationing your life.

The Christmas Retreat by Trisha Ashley just hit my kindle! I love her books. Reading The Twelve Days of Christmas is part of my Christmas traditions.

Now the only question is whether I can wait till Christmas to read the Retreat?

NEW!

Amycus halted and dismounted. Without saying anything, he took his horse to water him. I quickly slid down and helped Piper to the ground. She whirled and threw her arms about my neck, clinging to me as sobs wracked her body. I held on.
