Once again I'm being plagued by baby bunnies.
We have a chain link fence surrounding our front garden / lawn. Last year I added a 15" (37cm) high wood fence all around the bottom and dug in chicken wire in the bad spots, where they regularly tried to dig under.
That didn't bunny-proof the area, but it did seriously curtail … Continue reading.....
It’s been a quiet week in Lake Woebegone….
Is that still on the radio?
It’s been a quiet but productive week chez nous….. In spite of taking a day off to tour the inner sanctums of a shopping mall.
Mon mari finished the ceiling in the second bedroom – except for the trim.
For you who are staying with … Continue reading.....
I was just on holiday for 2 1/2 weeks…..
It went like this:

I believe the green squash is the result of an illicit affair with either the 8-ball zucchini across the path … Continue reading.....
For some reason, mon mari is less than enthusiastic about me playing with his toys using his tools than one could expect, given the circumstances.
Someone has to mow the grass, after all.
I certainly wouldn’t be concerned about him using anything in my kitchen! (After I hid my good crepe and omelet pans…. He … Continue reading.....
Miscommunication?
Or utter and complete lack of communication?
And, why you should never leave your mobile phones at home….
I had doctor’s appointments this morning. Nothing serious; routine mammogram; bone density scan.
This being France, I was told to plan on two hours. They do rather like to be thorough.
This being Friday, mon mari decided he’d drive … Continue reading.....
Oriental Zucchini and Brown Rice Salad
Are you a plural purchaser?
Do you buy in bunches?
Amass in multiples?
If you see a gorgeous sweater that comes in seven colors, do you buy three? Or four?
Then pat yourself on the back for the great restraint you exercised in not buying all seven?
When you find a pair of jeans … Continue reading.....
