Sights Around Blackberry Homestead

November 8, 2024 This afternoon, I went with Nox into the backyard. I was able to get a great picture of the yellow fall leaves on the hickory tree next door. Later in the afternoon, I walked to the mailbox to see if we had gotten any mail. On the way back to the house, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Bruce Heads to Georgia by Way of Florida

I Found More Fossils!

November 3, 2024 I was picking up more rocks this afternoon, when I noticed several had fossils. I was delighted to find more fossils and even a new type of fossils. The hole may be a fossilized worm hole (a trace fossil) and not a crinoid. I have been moving rocks to our burn pile […]

Bee Bum in Morning Glories

November 3, 2024 Yesterday, Bruce and I were walking around Blackberry Homestead. I noticed the morning glories blooming. A moment caught my eye, it was a bumblebee bum. I tried to get the camera in focus to capture the bee bum. The bee decided it had enough and backed out of that morning glory flower. […]

Fall Has Fallen

November 2, 2024 The small tree out front went from green, to a few yellow leaves, to leaves all over the ground in just a few days. Our neighbors’ pear tree has started turning red. The pecan trees leaves are turning as well.

Artist Desk Assembled and Estate Finds

November 1, 2024 This morning, I started assembling my new artist desk from Amazon. I got part way into the assembly process when I realized they really meant two people were needed. At that moment, Bruce wandered into my office. Bruce was happy to help. I read the instructions, gave Bruce the screws and installed […]
