This plant was a gift from my mother for Mother’s Day (yes, I got her something nice, as well). Despite the fact that we haven’t gotten much rain lately, I have been keeping it watered, along with my hanging plant, and they actually seem to be doing pretty well. Green thumbs up to someone who […]

This past weekend was our local air show. I live really close to the base, so I was able to catch a lot of it from my house. I caught some of the US Navy’s Blue Angels performance from outside: And some from my bedroom window: The Canadian Forces’ Snowbirds were there, as well. I

I realize it’s no longer Wednesday, but my internet was down last night. I was pretty sure it was a sign for me to get some sleep, so I did. Here’s my week in photos, a little late. We had some pretty large snowflakes last Saturday. When we got home from the store, I noticed

In my last post on this blog (a link-up called “Currently”), I was lamenting the lack of snow this winter.
