What a struggle it is for human children to learn to walk! And how easily amused this little dog is!

Good that the tree branch didn't damage your car, but awful about the bad driver dangers. No matter how safe you drive, there are always those who don't. They drive among us. Here's hoping your poor car has seen the last of bad driver attacks.

Heavy wet snow hit here last night too, and still coming down. Both dogs were afraid to go out in it this morning at first, I think because they feared that last night's howling winds were still out there, waiting to strike. Winter, be gone! We're all sick of you.

This sounds like a matter for the police, and for updating physical locks on doors and windows. Perhaps hidden webcams. In other words pull out all the stops to secure your home *before* another break-in occurs. I'm sorry this happened to you, and hopefully it won't again.

Phaedra, if reincarnation is a thing, I want to be reborn as one of your animals! They are the luckiest of all creatures, and it makes me happy to see them in your pictures. :) Love your journal. I don't have the paper version of such a journal, but I do keep a folder of photos of my gardens...

"Trust No One." Words to live by. I've become very interested in Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) and think this will be the security protocol of the near future, replacing passwords and other easy-to hack gate-keeping strategies. Basically it is a means of verifying a person's identity without...

Only if the ground is still frozen, and ours is.. rock solid. Spring has yet to spring. When it does, we'll have a second mud season.

Good luck to the worms trying to emerge from the ground; we still have about a foot of snow.

Our foot and a half of snow is melting too. I was planning to go out tomorrow to the post office, dump, and egg stand, and I'm thinking now it will still be possible. Plowed driveway and town road are melting down to pavement/gravel, and thankfully the snow that fell on the paths I shoveled...

They all look so comfortable in there.

Truth. Especially those big fuzzy bumblebees. Bees are only interested in collecting pollen, doing good deeds basically, while predatory wasps and hornets have a whole different mind set. All of these species will defend their nests, but bees are far less likely to claim real estate close to...

We had spring-in-winter with 50 degree (F) weather; then this past week winter-in-spring with bitter winds and temps in the 30s (F). Now the weather gods have decided to play what I hope will be the last sick joke of the year - a huge snowstorm. There are few things I dislike more than...

Cold weather here, after unseasonable warm temps last week (50s F). An inch or so of fluffy snow on the ground this morning to remind us that it is still technically winter I guess. I have to take Mabel the wild sheltie to a vet apt for exam, HW/Lyme test, and Lyme/Lepto shot in 2 weeks, and I...

How many ponies do you have? Would love to see a pic or 2. (I get my equine fix vicariously these days.) Burdocks are horrible little hitch-hiking pests for sure. I once read a how-to to remove burrs from manes and tails by soaking in vegetable oil, combing them out, and then of course...

Pancakes are in my near future too. Cold weather and a half dozen eggs needing to be used up seem to point this way

That is completely hilarious!

I can relate. I'm still crippled from working in the woods this past week, tossing downed branches and saplings onto brush piles.

As a sun worshiper, I would thrive on your season of continual daylight, but sink into despair during your months of darkness!

When I retired I stopped switching back to standard time. Winter is dark enough without having the sun set an hour earlier. I am on DST year round (for the extra hour of sunlight), and in addition all my clocks have always been set about 20 minutes ahead (insurance against being late). I'm...

After the sixth extinction takes us down, we will become the plastic layer in the archaeological crust. Good point about polyester. I'm not happy about the fact that a mix of polyester and cotton is my preferred fabric for clothing. Cotton shrinks and wool makes me itch to death, but my...
