• New Kitty in the house! Room for more of some things …

    We have a new cat in the house. This makes for 6 in total. This was an adoption (and a young’un at that!). Some time back I wrote about our “Good Visitor Kitty”. He last was seen a couple of weeks ago — he never was absent from our front or back entries that long.…


  • Firelight & Candles

    Candle light is so refreshing, particularly in these days of modern electricity! It’s a dull day here, where we live, and it’s not raining, the wind isn’t blowing very much. It’s about 73 degrees F., but still, it’s dull and lifeless. A day like this the fireplace would be nice to use. Oh, we don’t…


  • The Unveiling of Who I Am: a little bit, at least

    As you readers may have noticed, this blog is not totally anonymous any longer. Today I added my first name to the posts. So it’s officially a “semi-anonymous” blog now. Maybe I’m known just by that, maybe not. If you know me by my first name, you may have already known me just by what…


  • Flies, Strider, & Bleu

    Flies. Summer. Ugh. Why is it that flies WANT to come inside houses? They are only around outside when it’s warm … no flies around in the Winter. So, in the Summer, when the house is COLD from the Air Conditioner, why do they come inside? Just to be pests. Sit on the ceiling, sit…


  • Hummingbirds, not much rain, Hummingbirds

    The rain that comes is not enough. Tree leaves are turning brown, or way-too-early-for-Autumn yellow or red, etc. We’ve been in drought mode for the past 5+ years, things seemed better the first part of this year, but that’s not the case this Summer. Storms pop up and drop nothing on us. Frustration to hear…

  • Christian Liberty

    Well, drinking alcohol* is a matter of Christian Liberty. My last post talked about drinking a Hot Toddy. I said I might have one that evening. Did I though? No. It sounded good, but I didn’t need one. I decided not to have one. Which is my perogative. It would have been fine if I’d…


  • Bored — but I have a topic afterall!

    I’m bored tonight. Figures. The children were hyper at bedtime. Guess it wore me out. Yes, tired, but my mind is awake. My mind is awake, but not totally alert. It’s not about to let me sleep, and not about to let me think deeply. Yuck. This is the time for a Hot Toddy. Whoops,…


  • Teaching the Trivium

    The Trivium. That’s what we’ve intended to teach our children, just didn’t have a name for it. I’ve always ignored references to “The Well Trained Mind”. The little I heard, I didn’t like it. It seemed to me those who followed it were instilling formal schooling in very young children. Not what we believed in.…


  • Upgrade in progress

    Remember that upgrade I talked about here? It’s in progress. Really. What am I talking about? Ah, it’s a woman thing. Some women today need extra progesterone. Yes. It’s fine to talk about. Natural progesterone cream is available in the United States without a prescription. Dr’s poo-poo it here. Well, what else is new? Many…
