Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Facebook has been reminding me all week that it was seven years ago, the last week of September, when we went on our very first cruise, and it was to the great state of Alaska! So for Becky’s Challenge #SevenforSeptember I went back and… Continue Reading “Seven Years Ago – First Cruise to Alaska”
He’d worn out the Sketchers box though Bob tried taping it back together. Time to buy another pair of shoes or find another box. “Don’t worry, Sue, it’s fine.” “I’ll make do.” “It’s still great for napping.” Starbucks to the rescue. “How’s that, Benji?”… Continue Reading “From Sketchers to Starbucks”
Yesterday we took a walk at Nolte State Park through the woods, around Deep Lake. We love it any time of year, but especially during autumn. It was still mostly green, but there was a hint of color in the trees. Leaves are starting… Continue Reading “Falling Leaves at Nolte State Park”

What’s that you say? Squared pictures. Seven of them. Bugs. (I use the term loosely. All bugs are insects, not all insects are bugs!) So I can ‘double dip’ into two photo challenges, #Sunday Stills and #SevenforSeptember. I’ll start with an ordinary ‘bug’ resting… Continue Reading “Seven Squared Bugs?”
