I stumbled across this little pond when I was delivering something to a volunteer who lives at the top of a mountain. I decided to explore a bit while I was up there, and lo and behold: this scene. Sometimes when I explore, I don't find anything of real interest. But other times, I discover …
Last week, Malcolm and I took a road trip to Ouray with his mother. We traveled on the Million Dollar Highway, which with inflation, should be the Trillion Dollar Highway. The aspens burned yellow, ochre, deep red against the surrounding evergreens. I highly recommend a jaunt down the highway in mid-September which is the peak …
When I first edited this, I liked the way it looks like an old protest picture when they sprayed protesters with high pressured water. Then I realized that we’ve been protesting the same fucking things for almost 200 years. Make America Great Again, they say. Well I say America was great for a few select …
I’ve got two for you today. I bought a car last week for the first time ever on my own! We’ve had about 8 total inches of snow this week which meant two two-hour delays. I feel so independent now that I can actually get places in snow. No more canceling plans or calling into …
I’m feeling rather uninspired to write today. So I’ll leave you with this picture of the two cutest snuggles this side of the Rockies. Note that Malcolm is sleeping in his Huggle, the off brand of a Snuggie. We’ve been living in them since my family gave them to us. So comfy!
Simone and I have been together for 8 years this year. She's getting old but it's hard to tell because she always acts like an old cat so much so her nickname has been Old Lady Simone since forever. She's had a runny nose this week, so she's been sneezing right in M's and my …
Since November, a permafrost and leftover snow blankets the ground in patches. Directly beneath the thin snow is a layer of ice. We took the dogs on a walk last weekend and I slipped on a patch of ice and completely ate it. I fell gently into a pile of snow, somehow, so I didn’t …
We spent this Christmas at Malcolm’s mom’s house with his sister, his sister's girlfriend, and the puppies. We played the best White Elephant game, ate delicious food, and played a Christmas version of Clue and Scattergories, which was admittedly quite difficult after the eating frenzy. Such a warm holiday that I didn’t know if I’d …
Taluah loves all boxes, baskets, hampers, crates, etc. If she can’t get in one of those things, she will pull everything out of said container. Today she felt fancy and borrowed my hat. Happy Friday! Mae
This is what our grape leaves are currently doing. We didn’t get any viable fruit from these this year, but we learned a great deal about how to tend to fruit trees and plants. Next year we’re going to have so much damn delicious fruit, including grapes. P.S. We think these are grape plants, but …
