No, I’m not the Pioneer Woman and this is not Marlboro Man… …this is my version: redneck flyboy. Just sayin’. I think the drugs are kicking in…
Let the exchanging begin!

Hubby needs to exchange the gift I gave him: an RC plane. If I’m going to be truthful, his needs and wants weren’t even a factor when I picked it out; my only thought was the inevitable look of surprise and happiness on his face when he opened it Christmas Eve. I got that, in [...]

The fae folk were good to us last night… there’s a bloom on one of the papayas… …and of course no post would be complete without ‘the girls’… pictured here early this a.m., bristling at something.
