Nature Pictures from Blackberry Homestead

November 13, 2024 After I got back from getting my driver’s license yesterday, I walked around and took some pictures. There were several variegated fritillary butterflies flitting around. I was lucky enough to get a picture of this one. There was a small bird’s nest in the fence row. My index finger is for scale. […]

More Rain Today

November 13, 2024 It rained all morning. After lunch, I decided to wait until one o’clock to drive to the DMV. I wanted to avoid the lunch rush. The rain stopped and it was 1:30 before I drove to the DMV and presented my two pieces of mail to be scanned for the Star ID. […]

No Longer Florida Woman, Now Alabama Woman

November 13, 2024 Yesterday, I drove to the county courthouse, only to discover the driver’s license was at the Alabama State Police building, eight miles away. At the DMV, they had a kiosk to pick what you wanted to do. I selected “Transfer license from another state” and the machine spit out a ticket. I […]

Added Some Decorative Touches to Shower Curtain

November 13, 2024 My fabric pens arrived on Monday. I was excited to try them out on the shower curtain. I was busy with other things, so I didn’t decorate the shower curtain until yesterday evening. Here’s the before picture. Here’s the after picture. I free handed this with the fabric pens. I was pleased […]

Rain, Rain, We Needed It

November 10, 2024 It has been a rather rainy day with breaks in the weather now and then. During one of the beaks, I spotted a bluebird on the pump house. I was able to get pictures from the kitchen window, but he flew away when I moved into the dining room. I had hoped […]

The Drains Are Working!!!

November 8, 2024 This morning, I got a call at 11:47 from the Roto-Rooter office administrator. She was calling to let me know the plumbers were on their way! I was so excited! There were two teams. The first team dealt with the stoppage. They were amazed (as was I) to find a spoon stuck […]

The Dishwasher Came!!!

November 8, 2024 I got several things yesterday from different deliveries. In the morning, I got the FedEx from Bruce, as well as the coveralls I ordered. You can tell I am not practiced in taking my picture in the mirror. The coveralls are heavier fabric than I expected and are very well made. I […]

Bruce Made It Safely to Jekyll Island, Georgia

November 7, 2024 Yesterday, early afternoon, Bruce arrived at Jekyll Island, Georgia. I checked on Bruce with Life360 as he rode from Bushnell, Florida to Jekyll Island, Georgia. When Bruce stopped for gas, I would get an alert letting me know he had completed a trip and how many miles. I would watch as he […]

Nox Having a Ball

November 6, 2024 Yesterday, I put a treat in the Magic Green Ball aka MGB for Nox. (The Magic Green Ball got its name when our dog Luna played with it. She would slowly chew on the ball with a look of pure bliss.) Nox had a ball getting the treat out. Here she is […]
