As the designated hostess ofÂ the internetÂ I am delightedÂ to welcome Pat Esden online.Â Of course she’s been around for awhile, and no doubt has a long list of online friends, but she’s been delinquent in starting a blog.Â But now she’s finally relented, so welcome, Patty! I’ll also just point youÂ toÂ another new link in my blogroll.Â

Burning the Slush

8JuneSuzanne1 CommentJust for Laughs, The Human Condition, Writing

Check out this terrific slushpile bonfire.Â Someday I want to be there, roasting a marshmallow on a very long stick.Â And if by some twist of bad writing a manuscript of mine is on the pile, I promise to laugh my head off.Â Let it be purged.

Fuzzy Martial Arts Moment

6JuneSuzanne2 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Martial Arts

I got a phone call this afternoon from a lady in charge of a girls camp not too far from here.Â I taught a self-defense clinic to the girls last year, and they were calling to see if I’d be willing to do it again. Unfortunately, I won’t be able too.Â The camp conincides with

Fatty Ferrets

5JuneSuzanneHome in the Rookery

I took the ferrets to the vet for a shot update, and it turns out the two youngest have picked up some pudge.Â So the vet suggested I keep their food out of their cage except for established feeding times…but she also acknowledged that their sister is at her ideal weight and shouldn’t lose anything.

In a Frenzy

5JuneSuzanneWriting

I’ve been quiet on the blog front, I know, but I’ve been good about writing!Â My gladiator story has given me no end of trouble over the last months, but just recently I had a brain-burst and figured out what it needed. I’ve since finished the first draft, done an intensive critique, and written in

Newsy New Links

Adding a couple new links to the blog roll, both guys that I would love to sit down with at a con. 🙂 David Langford, author of The End of Harry Potter? and blogger extraordinaire. And John Scalzi’s blog, Whatever.Â Â I’m looking forward to reading Old Man’s War when vacationing this summer. The only connection between

A Warren of Bunny Rabbits

31MaySuzanneHome in the Rookery

It seems we’ve put out a sign that says, “Wildlife Welcome”.Â Today while planting flowers I saw a dazed looking tiny rabbit, so small at first I thought perhaps it was a baby squirrel or something.Â Even its ears were small.Â Soon I saw his brothers and sisters, wobbling about our flower bed and blinking

Hummingbird Wars

30MaySuzanneHome in the Rookery

Our two hummingbird feeders have attracted two hummingbirds so far this spring.Â As the feeders are quite a ways apart, one might think that this would mean we’d have one hummingbird at each feeder, right? Wrong! What we have isÂ non-stop aerial battles over territory.Â I sometimes wonder if any actual drinking gets done, as no

New Live Journal

29MaySuzanneBlogging

I’ve been threatening to start a LJ, mostly so I can sign in when making comments on friends’ journals, and I’ve finally done it. You can visit Pen and Ink Confessions for the occasional post that just doesn’t fit my mood over here.
