This is a sad post but I feel like many of you have followed us on the journey with Rita and I wanted to share this. A couple of weeks ago, she started walking in circles . . for 15 or 20 minutes, almost spinning in circles. I would hold her and think maybe she had gotten herself dizzy and just didn't know how to "fix" it. She's never liked to be held and within a couple of minutes, if that ...
Weather
Dang . . my recent posts are entitled "lightning" and "weather". We watched the tornadoes cross Oklahoma tonight and I'm praying for my Oklahoma friends. If you're reading this, please check in when you can. My guess is that those of you in the worst hit areas probably don't have power or cell phone service but always know, wherever you are, if you're having a natural disaster and it's on the ...
Lightning
Last night, it was maybe 9 or 9:30 p.m. In the distance, we heard thunder. It wasn't loud. It didn't sound angry. Vince said "We'd better get the dogs out before it starts raining again." I took Oscar out. Then Vince took Rita out and I got Cooper's harness and was on my way out with him.

I ran out, in the rain, a added blood meal to the garlic and before I had even finished, the rain stopped. That was it for yesterday's rain. The sun came out and it was a beautiful day. We knew there was going to be a lot of rain today and ...
Floss for No Bees
Once the floss was organized, I was ready to do a conversion and pull the floss for No Bees by Birds of a Feather. I started by pulling the called for floss. I pulled the Gentle Art floss if I had it and if not, I pulled DMC. In the photo below, you can see the called for floss on the left of each pair and the floss on the right is the Victorian Motto that I pulled. Those are pretty ...
Another “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” Day
Yesterday I was going to get "No Bees, No Honey" kitted. I knew I didn't have all the called for Gentle Arts floss and I figured that was a good time to match up some Victorian Motto floss and use that. I have ordered quite a bit of floss from them through the years and have always been happy with them. Their skeins have 20 yards and there are so many colors. Most often, their floss is sold in ...
