I Wonder Why?

Posted on by Katya

Why is it that I have been so tired as the darkness sets in?  And why was I awake at four this morning?  Poor little Murphy was enjoying a nice deep slumber when I told him it was time to get up! Michelle had classes today and I was concerned about her driving by herself [...]

Another Autumnal Delight

Posted on by Katya

How is this trio of trees for color?  On a little walk in the front “yard” (woods) I  kept looking upwards and found these trees all in the same vicinity.  I think they posed quite nicely.  On the left is a Maple,  the center is a White Oak, and the tree on the right is [...]

Surpise! Here I am….

Posted on by Katya

I have not been posting on here as there seems to just be so much going on, and yet, nothing at all is going on.  Yes, that sounds so contradictory, but it seems to be my life right now! Every time I log into Facebook, I am somewhat shocked and maybe a bit disturbed by [...]

Enough of being quiet…..

Iscreaming!!!!!!) I HATE THIS WEATHER!!!!!!! There,  I *almost* feel better.  Seriously, I am feeling so beat. It is hard for me to understand how some people feel totally recharged by the sun and heat, and others like me feel totally drained of all energy.  I realize the heat we are experiencing really isn’t that bad, [...]

White Cabbage Butterfly

Posted on by Katya

Yesterday, I saw a little white butterfly flitting all around the back yard.  I decided to go out and follow it a little, just in case it decided to land. Talk about frustrating!  This little butterfly is the definition of the word “flitting”!  The tiny bugger would land momentarily and as it saw me bring [...]

Some of this….and some of that!

My goodness!!! Usually by this time each year, we have taken the camper out for a weekend or two, but not so this year.  We are so busy, it seems we are constantly on the run. The poor little camper is left sitting in its winter parking spot with weeds growing around it!  Help!!! On [...]

A BIG Workday at Grandma’s!

Posted on by Katya

We had made plans to work at Mark’s mom’s house yesterday.  My mother-in-law had some yardwork that needed done and Mark told her we would be able to do it. Well…*my* day did not begin as planned.  It seems Murphy had an upset stomach at about three in the morning, and he threw up all [...]

Hark, the Sunshine!!!

Posted on by Katya

I cannot believe it is early morning and the sun is shining!!!!!  The weatherman had said the dark clouds that loomed over us the past few days were “stalled”.  Well, someone must have pushed them outta the way, because this morning is gloriously sunshiney!!!! I went outside with the camera a couple of days ago [...]

Back to Seneca Lake!

Posted on by Katya

As promised, I have had a bit of sleep and now I can (hopefully) post the photos taken at Seneca Lake!  We stopped by a Chinese restaurant on our way to the lake….they have some pretty good food there, and it is consistantly the same.  When we finished though, we were so stuffed, we had [...]
