You may have heard that one of the dresses Judy Garland wore in the Wizard of Oz is up for auction. The dress was recently found in a box at The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., after it went missing sometime in the 1980s. What you may not know is that iconic gingham […]
A few friends were curious about all that dirt in yesterday’s post. Considering Dad’s success rate, or lack thereof, with previous projects, I can understand their concern. Rest assured the dirt is for planting. The soil is for new raised garden beds that Dad built, and to refresh dirt in an old garden he abandoned […]
Dad, how can you be so inconsiderate? Why are you denying Asa’s dream of becoming an archeologist? For years he has studied every episode of the British television series Time Team, to learn the proper digging technique. In fact, Asa is convinced that buried somewhere in our yard is a forgotten Roman villa complete with […]
Dogs, do you enjoy going to the beach? Do you want to continue to be welcomed at Maine beaches? Then we all must do our part to protect the Piping Plovers! Piping Plovers are the small birds seen flitting across the shoreline. They nest above the high water mark, in the dry sandy areas, often […]

I demand a rematch! Our kibble hunt on Sunday was clearly rigged. Every year the Easter Bunny breaks into my home and hides my kibble in the living room. I have made it very clear that I do not like the rabbit hiding my food, much less touching it. Yet he still manages to slip […]
The spring backyard building boom has begun! I’ve been watching the birds and other critters hard at work making nests. I’ve also seen a lot of posts lately of dogs sharing their fur to help their feathered friends. However, I want to caution that NOT all dog fur is safe to leave out for birds! […]
On April 18, 2014, just after 9:00 PM, our brother Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge. But this post is NOT about when he left us. Instead, today I am sharing Mom and Dad’s memories of when Lemmy came home on January 25, 2007. Lemmy was their first dog, and they talk about those fond memories with […]
