Sightseeing and Ingenuity at Its Best
It was kind of a lazy day today. I went to church in the morning. Came home and had lunch. Then put the tarp I bought yesterday on the kennel.

It’s time to clip Java’s nails. I truly hate this part of dog ownership.
Once again, I have a post on Vision and Verb titled “Doggone It!” on the joys and challenges of life with dog(s) that I hope you’ll check out. The above photo and the ones that follow were taken as part of an assignment for my weekly photography class where we were supposed to try different…
“The pure joy of daily living becomes impacted with the blood of fate and battles. There’s no turning back the man says, the one waiting to take tickets at the top of the gangplank. Still, in the past we could always wait a little. Indeed, we are waiting now.” ~ John Ashbery, “More Feedback” There…
I did not go willingly into a past me reflection. It was my failing iPhone 6s Plus that forced it upon me. As I flicked through old photos, they reminded me of all the things I’d done. It wasn’t long before I was wondering where that Maery had gone. I’m simply not the woman I see…
An Ode to May messily meandering maimed and misunderstood oh you monstrosity of a month Ah, yes, written during the down-of-things. The upside of May is found in Jamaica Kincaid’s book, My Garden (Book): “The month of May comes on suddenly and moves along swiftly, and each day pleasure after pleasure is flung before…
I found this video on YouTube. It’s been one of my favorite songs for many years, even though it makes me sad. Maybe I’ve always known in my heart that H wouldn’t stay with me forever. Maybe our worlds were just too far apart for me to hang on. Facebook Twitter Pinterest

I love those kind of days, ones where you can just do whatever you want!
Looks like you got Java’s kennel done, it looks great!
That is an awfully smart idea by rigging up that apple picker! Too bad it didn’t work out so well!
What is it about dogs that just don’t want to relax? I have a couple of those myself! Silly! Don’t they know that us humans would like to relax from time to time?
Ha ha – I love the apple picker. that’s the kind of thing you can only get away with if you don’t have any neighbors close enough to watch you. Relaxing is good every once in a while – I think I might have done too much of it yesterday, though!
You are so good at combining pics with what’s going on in your life. Totally entertaining!
I’ve been away for a few days- working like crazy. Sounds like all in all you’ve been hanging in there. Love your blog, can’t wait to get together for writer meetings!
I love the photo of Java looking at you through the little window. Great!
And, sorry, but I chuckled about your apple picking escapades!
I also love the photo of Java peeking at you. Really enjoyed going for your walk with you. Also, Java’s kennel looks perfect…nice job.
Yes, the apple picking was definitely good for a laugh. It could have made funniest home videos if it had been recorded.
I too love the photo of Java looking down at me. She’s actually on one of the deck levels (there are two levels), looking through the rail opening.
Sue – I am totally looking forward to your show opening! And to doing the writer’s challenge. I just hope I can think of something to write about.
wow, that apple picker is something else. i might have to try that. after i try the ladder, which, i hope is easy. the best apples are at the very top of our trees. bummer!
great photo documentary of your escapades, i am enjoying your blog!
