I told the yard guy to forgo mowing in the back this time because… well, I love it. Weeds and all. Maybe the weeds are the best reason to lounge outside among the bees gathering pollen.
Badger seems to like it, bees and all.

V Day
When my husband arrived home last night he was greeted with a minor emergency: “Water was pouring out of the doohickey under the sink so I turned it off. OH, and the disposal won’t work.”
He had to run out for a new disposal and didn’t finish until nearly 10:00p.
I felt pretty bad for him, but not nearly as sorry as I felt this morning upon finding two cards, two boxes of chocolates and roses.
I love this man more than anyone else on earth. He didn’t try to vacillate or put anything off, he set right to work on the problem like it was the most fun he’d had seen since his Navy days.
This wonderful man realizes that every little thing I do for him is out of love. I know that the only reason why he still works is to keep us in food and kibble.
We’ve been married for over 30 years and each day with him is sweeter. I thank God for him so often the good Lord is probably tired of me.
He’s also pretty cute. 😉
Pigeon Peas
There are pigeon peas growing in the ‘hood. I’d never heard of them, but now think planting some would be a good idea.
The Three
The three AMBs. Granddaughter, Daughter, Grandpa.
Yes, hell. I know my place looks abandoned. I don’t do much outside in the Winter.
Weirdness
Okay, this is a bit odd. Same sky, just pivoted a bit. The tree on the right is also visible on the second photo.
Good Start
This morning started with a bang; fingers of color stretched across the sky from both the east and west, meeting above me. Wild! The last picture is a continuation of the photo just above it.
As shot.
…and then last night…
2024
Hope the new year is gentle with everyone.
Saw these birds flying north in a V formation early this morning. They’re flying back home already? It’s the first day of January; there’s plenty of winter left!
Flashes
Flashes of colored light often slash through our skies and are gone again in minutes. This display didn’t even last a quick five but I was happy to have caught it.
OFFENSE
I’m offended every time the powers that be raze a statue because someone complained that it ‘offended’ them.
The latest outrage? This Confederate memorial in Arlington -one of two, actually- had to come down. Why?
The Congressional mandate, passed in 2020, declared that the Department of Defense must remove all “names, symbols, displays, monuments, and paraphernalia that honor or commemorate the Confederate States of America” by Jan. 1, 2024.
Fox
Do you know who does this? The Taliban. Nazi Germany. Hamas. Not Americans. Well, not until now. We should be ashamed.
As President Lincoln stated: “Malice toward none and charity for all. North and South, we are all Americans again.”
Guess not.
Oh, dear. I was supposed to stay with dogs and flowers.
