Happy Second Day of Spring! Yesterday was the Spring Equinox, so naturally Mother Nature decided to celebrate with a Nor'easter. The predictions ranged from 1-3 inches, to 3-5 inches - at the moment, it's still snowing and there's easily 6-7 inches out there right now. Also, Melissa Ford over at Stirrup Queens pointed out that... Continue Reading →
Today is Pi Day! For those of you unfamiliar with this "holiday," here's a blurb from the official site - Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to... Continue Reading →
Last Tuesday (March 1st), I was out in the woods behind our place, playing with my new camera. On my way back inside, I spotted a critter. It was on a rock, next to the wood pile in the yard that sits about 50-60 feet away from the house. After it posed for a picture,... Continue Reading →
Last Monday, I wrote about the pending arrival of my new toy. One week later, I feel compelled by my obsession to do a camera followup. I'm happy to report my camera arrived in plenty of time for me to get shots of the full moon, and I'm still ridiculously happy about the whole thing.... Continue Reading →
I haven't owned many new cameras in my life. I learned basic photography in high school, using a loaner camera from my dad (which I still have, as evidenced by the pictures in my post from last year, "I heart photography"). Soon after, he gave me my first real camera, a Nikon that I used... Continue Reading →
I love moments of inadvertent validation. I'm exactly one week away from the 12 week post-surgical mark, and I've been starting to focus on diet and exercise again. Yesterday, our youngest helped me setup MyFitnessPal on my phone. She'd apparently grown weary of hearing, "Yeah, I'll check that out someday soon." As she was going... Continue Reading →
The streak is broken. For months, I enjoyed the absence of the four letter S word from my life, but now it's popping back up in my vocabulary with annoying frequency. I suppose I shouldn't complain, though - as New England winters go, this one has been particularly warm and four letter S word free.... Continue Reading →
Rabbit, rabbit! *grin* This morning on Facebook, I mentioned to a couple of friends that I was/am a huge Xena fan girl back in the day, and I believed the first time I posted on the internet was in the Usenet Newsgroup alt.tv.xena. Naturally, I had to go looking, and thanks to the power of... Continue Reading →
On this day in 1882, Virginia Woolf arrived in the world. Here are a couple of snippets about who she is - From Wikipedia Adeline Virginia Woolf (née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf... Continue Reading →
Last week, we got enough icy snow on the ground that I couldn't make it down the hill to my Avian Eatery. As a temporary solution, I shoveled out a spot on the ground near our house, and scattered the birdseed and such around. While this Tufted Titmouse enjoyed the new location, he was not...

To be fair, I'm a little bit biased in my declaration that this gorgeous and talented person is a rising YouTube star, given that she's my firstborn. And yes, I've blogged about her channel before. But look - two thousand other people can't be wrong, right? Cailli hit this milestone a couple of days ago,... Continue Reading →
A strange thing happened to me last week. As I worked on my Witchy Wednesday post, I noticed a steady uptick in my site views. By noon, I was convinced I'd been "attacked" by some new, intelligent spam bots that could mimic human interaction as they clicked through my pages. Around 10pm-ish, I checked my...
