It’s almost April and I probably should have been thinking about this much earlier (actually the thinking was being done…just not the action!), but I really want to put in a garden this year.
We bought our house in the Fall of 2006. It was built in 1915 ~ we have a very large front & [...]

Thought I’d end Friday on a good note and post some pictures of feral kittens that were in our yard in 2006. You can see them all at my WEBSHOTS ALBUM ~ Wild Kitties in the Backyard 5/2006. See you on Monday!

We had a beautiful weekend here in Northern Nevada! 70 degrees and sunny on Easter Sunday ~ Who’d thunk it!?

I seem to pick up lots of things on a fancy…and while I’ve always liked to work with wire (french beaded flowers and whatnot), I found some copper wire not too long ago and started hammering away on it. Tappa Tappa Tappa into the night I went. Then I started adding glass and metal beads [...]
