I’m ready for the hummingbirds. I hung a feeder out about 10 days ago and am keeping my eye out for the earliest arrivals. The earliest arrivals to metro Atlanta showed up a few days ago….they will be at my feeders soon!

Gracie & CBD Oil
A few days ago, I started Gracie, who is now 13 years old, on CBD hemp oil in hopes of improving her mobility. Last night, she lept off the porch & ran after a critter she smelled in the woods, like a younger version of herself.
I don’t really want her disappearing into the woods at night like that, but I think the CBD oil is working.
One year with Raven
Today marks a year since I brought Raven home. She’s a great dog, so smart and so happy all of the time. Gracie has been a great calming presence to her & likes her company. Raven tries to herd Ernie (the cat) not so successfully. Ernie likes the attention most of the time. Bert, my sick kitty, is finally coming around, although that may be more because he’s sick and not so much because he’s accepted her presence. Raven loves them all and is delighted to be part of the pack.
Out with the old, in with the new
My old Riccar served me well – I bought it when we returned from our honeymoon 27 years ago. Now, out with the old, in with the new!
Celebrating 27 years of togetherness tonight
More snow and temps in the low teens
More snow and temps in the low teens (at last check 11 degrees) with wind chill close to and below 0. It is freezing here in the deep south.
Out for a walk
Out for a walk with my best girl Gracie, and was uplifted by the beauty of this Fall day.
My Sweet Gracie had some surgery
My sweet Gracie had surgery today to remove a tumor that was on her ankle. The tumor has been sent to UGA to determine what it is. I am hopeful it is benign.
UPDATE on 9/28/2017: I heard back from the vet today. The tumor is a cutaneous myxoma. It is benign. I am so thankful!
It’s feeling like Fall
Ah Autumn! Breezy, cooler, lower humidity, shorter days, school buses on the road, blooming spider lilies, labor day, choir practice…..and I joined a gym.
Raven, My Sweet Girl
