Bobbing Heads

11MarchSuzanne3 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Writing

It’s been a while since I blogged, but if you were to turn my life of lateÂ into a picture metaphor, I’d be shown standing mid-stream andÂ fullyÂ submerged except my head, bobbing on top of the water. This may not sound incredibly comfortable, but it beats being six inches further submerged, I’m sure you’d agree.Â And, assuming

Snowed Inn

There’s nothing quite like a snow day when you didn’t want to go anywhere, anyway.Â This particular snow fall was especially generous, as it left us with power–nice, when you DO want to be in touch with the world and have a nice warm house. And it’s also delightful packing snow.Â This made for fun

Introducing Ezekiel

27FebruarySuzanne2 CommentsHome in the Rookery

This is a tad belated, as he actually came home Tuesday night, but he wouldn’t sit still long enough to get his picture taken and I couldn’t toss up a post without a pic, now could I? So, this is Ezekiel, aka Zeke.Â He’s half Rottie, half German Shepherd, and about to celebrate his one

First, upon removing the bumper of our car to fix the damage done by the deer, they discovered that the car was in an accident at some time previous and was not fully repaired.Â Fortunately the additionalÂ repairs are not going to blow the bank–but they’re not going to be cheap, either. ThenÂ I headed home in

Bruised But Not Broken

Alas, this morning the inevitable arrived.Â I hit a deer.Â There was really no time to brake, since it jumped straight out of the trees (where they grow closest to the road) and in front of my car. Â I was probably going close to 50.Â The poor thing never stood a chance. Luckily I’m okay,

A Cream Puff Kind of Night

It all started when our son stuffed four cases of A&W root beer into the basement freezer.Â The cans burst before they froze, so we had a delightfully root beer scented freezer and a waterfall of brown ice flowing off the shelves and pooling in theÂ bottom drawer. When I found it I may have said

Scoping Out the Lay of the Land

Our family has a new passion–paintball.Â And since my birthday is coming up, we have the perfect opportunity to outfit ourselves to indulge the new interest. With that in mind,Â we went exploring around our property over the weekend–this time with an eye for great paintball forts.Â Every pile of stacked firewood, fallen tree, or copse

Happy Thirteenth!

I’m delighted to anounce that my most hated story ever is through the most difficult part of the edits.Â Yay!Â This story has been the mother-bear of all stories, but I also felt it had a lot of potential and was worth the effort.Â However, I’m delighted to set it aside for awhile and start

Running On Empty

6FebruarySuzanneJust for Laughs

Me and the newÂ car have been running around a lot, so I’m getting a pretty good feel for how the car runs.Â Nice pick up, steering is touchier than our other car, brights are great for showing the sides of the road where deer hide. But this pesky yellow dot came on yesterday, and since
