First Hard Freeze

November 30, 2024 It got down to 23 degrees F last night. When I got up to take Nox outside, the backyard was still covered in frost. I took some close up pictures of henbit covered with frost. The frost had started melting in the front yard. I am not sure what these weeds are. […]

Nox, Out and About

November 25, 2024 On Thursday (November 21), Nox was enjoying the day. I took some pictures of her walking about in the yard doing Nox things. After her walk, she was tired and stretched out in her bed.

Permission to Feed the Donkeys Carrots, Granted

November 20, 2024 Last week, I saw my neighbor out putting hay out for his cows and donkeys. I waved at him and then I picked Nox up so she could watch the cows and donkeys eating the hay. Nox loves watching cows. Our neighbor came over to talk to me. I was glad he […]

Scenes from the Backyard

November 20, 2024 Monday (November 18) was a lovely day. I walked around the yard and got some pictures. The grass has gotten surprisingly tall and the false dandelions are blooming. The butterflies enjoy the false dandelions. I have seen several different types of butterflies. The fritillary butterfly is visiting a false dandelion aka cat’s-ear […]

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. […]

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

November 6, 2024 Warning: This post has a lot of pictures, so it may be slow to load. On Monday (November 4), we went to the RV and I did the small amount of laundry we had. Bruce wanted to take as many clothes as he could on his trip. Nox was happy we took […]

Cows and Donkeys Next Door

October 29, 2024 Bruce was out mowing the back pasture yesterday when our neighbors’ cows and donkeys were close to our fence. At the same time, I was outside weeding one of the flowerbeds that came with the house. Nox was just hanging out with me. The flowerbed has daylilies and what I believe to […]

Donkey and Sheep in Pasture Behind Us

October 24, 2024 On October 20th, Bruce spotted movement in the pasture behind our back pasture. We walked over to our back fence, carrying Nox. The donkey was very curious and so was Nox. I held Nox safely out of reach of the donkey, since the donkey wanted to sniff (and maybe nip) Nox. The […]
