    I am really surprised that I have taken to the Apple Watch so completely. It is not that I use it as a fitness device although I DO have goals…that I seldom meet. But, I wear it every day even though it was over 50 years since I regularly wore a watch. Q: So, what…

  • Pirate is getting better at learning where the “outside” is but we still have to carry him downstairs in the morning to go out or he will not make it all the way. He’s getting heavier now, too, so he had better pick it up soon! We’ve been puppy-proofing the house but he is a…

I don’t grow sweet corn anymore because back when we had chickens, the raccoons would come eat my corn just as it was perfectly…

  • Emily says it is going to be a rainy weekend but I am always skeptical of weather forecasts more than 24 hours before the day, especially here in Vermont where they say “don’t like the weather, wait a minute”. A rainy weekend will mean more Olympics to watch as well as the Cubs taking on…

  • _Dear Friends,_ It is definitely the dog days of summer, especially as I have been busy getting acquainted with Pirate. I took him to Burlington with me and as we walked down the Church Street pedestrian mall it took me over an hour to make it up the 5 blocks. He was very interested in…

  • I think I will do some chores this weekend…er play with my puppy. Maybe I’ll ride my motorcycle…er play with my puppy. Maybe I’ll do some blueberry picking…er play with my puppy. Hey, it is sweet corn season so that is definitely a break from playing with Pirate! The dog days of summer is sure…
