What are you looking at? - This Western Tanager does not look happy to be photographed.

May 1

Another George Photo - Everyday, George has to make sure there is absolutely nothing left in Tucker’s bowl.

April 30

Spotted Towhee - We spend a lot of money on bird seed. It’s well worth the money to have this nature show everyday.

April 29

Life is Good - My favorite t-shirts and hats.

April 28

Our Neighbors - These beavers live in the little river across the street. They have been pretty active lately.

April 27

Peek-a-boo - Outside our front window.

Sunday Bike Ride - A nice day for a long bike ride along the river. Lots of people enjoying the sunshine at mostly a safe distance from others.

April 25

Mexican Train Dominoes - A nice evening with Roger, cocktails and a fun game.

April 24

Pink! - We took a drive, for a change of scenery. These flowers remind me of carnations.

April 23

Soaring High - I’m not sure what type of bird this is, but he was very photogenic.

April 22



GIFS - During this time when we are all working from home, my boss and I have daily conversations.  It’s my favorite part of the day.  He has a great sense of humor and we often include GIFs in our conversations.  I was telling him that I thought he was a good leader and included this GIF.

April 21

Ice, Ice, Baby - George loves ice cubes. When he hears the ice dispenser, he comes running.

April 20

Whodunnit - Roger is attempting to train the dogs to stay out of his new planter boxes. He is trying to figure out which dog dug a hole.  George won’t look at him. He must have some guilty feelings. Bad photo, but I had one shot at it.

April 19

Basket Case - Every she-shed needs a hanging basket of pansies.

April 18

Green Acres - Step one - rebuild planters.  Nice job, Honey!

April 17

Converted Fountain - I bountiful this fountain off Craigslist years ago. It developed a leak a couple of years ago, so I made it into planter. Lovely.

April 15

Oops - Another late night photo, because I forgot. Roger watching fishing videos..again.

April 14

Sunrise - Captured through the trees this morning.

April 14

Tucker - I caught Tucker peeking through the rails on the deck. Yesterday little guy.

April 13

More Signs - I love tulips. I wish they lasted longer. Missing my brother, Mike,
today on what would have been his 62nd birthday.

April 12

Looking For Love - Every Spring some geese come to our little river and mate.  Soon, we will see their offspring.

April 11

Critter Barrier - Overnight, a little critter into one of my pots. This is my solution. It works.

April 10

Flower Power - It’s a little early to plant, but I have the time and the desire. Let’s do this.

Wine Time - The weather is nice and hanging out on the deck is the order of the evening.

April 8

Selfie - My daughter sent me a picture of the current state of her hair. I sent one back in return. If I had taken another photo, believe me, I would have used that instead.

April 7

Handmade - We needed a sign directing employees to enter the East Gate, so that they can get their temperature checked. This is what the guys came up with. At least everything is spelled correctly.

April 6

What is wrong with this picture?

April 5

Mask Production - I spent all day making masks for family members. Stay safe out there.

April 4

Neighhhhbor - I came across this guy on my daily walk. He just kind of appeared to my right and startled me just a "bit".

April 3

Roger's Switch - Roger like my game so much, I had to get him his own Switch.

April 2

Animal Crossing New Horizons - I don't play video games very much, but Hannah recommended this one. I love it. It's arrival could not have come at a better time. I can live in this super adorable fantasy world and escape reality for a few hours.

April 1

No Joke - Today, you would normally see a lot of funny jokes, but this pandemic is no laughing matter. These are cloth masks, which are now recommended) for our employees.

March 31

Petal Perfect - another sign of spring and hope.

March 30

Which Dog? - Of course it's Luka. This time he went all out or, should I say under, the curtains.

March 29

Scattergories - We got together online with the kids and played Scattergories. It involved a few glitches and a lot of laughter. I hope we make this a habit.

March 28

Saturday Pattern - I walked a lot today. You can also see that it looks like I didn't stand very much.I confess, I played my video game a lot this day.

March 27

Production - Our staff is rotating one of us in the plant each day. Today was my turn. I was happy to do it. Nice to get out. Other managers then have the in-plant manager do things on site that they can't do. Today, I took pictures for two different people. It's nice to feel like I'm contributing.

March 26

Home Schooling - Roger is taking the opportunity to teach George a thing or two. I think the dogs are happy we are home.

March 25

Scenery - My daily walk affords me some beautiful views. Today it was the sky.

March 24

Another Sign of the Times - I took a nice long walk today. The school near my house closed the playground to keep kids from getting too close to each other. I feel bad for the parents having to deal with kids with all that pent up energy.

March 23

Working from Home - First day working from home. I'm not sure about this at all, but I am fortunate to be able to do it. My set-up isn't too bad, either.

March 22

Bike Ride - The weather was nice, so we took a bike ride. This turkey ran along ahead of us for awhile. Turkeys are so stupid, but they are  so fast.

March 21

Yurt - I was taking a walk and saw this yurt behind a neighbor's house. I don't know what they're using it for or where they got it. Yurts aren't cheap. They run from about $5,000 to $10,000. Maybe cheaper than a home addition. "Go sleep in your yurt, Grandma."

March 20

6 ft. Apart - An informal staff meeting taking place in the paring lot (complete with measuring tape).

March 19

Best Buy Social Distancing -  A clever way to protect us from each other. I had to point it out to the clueless guy behind me.

March 18

No Rest - Chores do not go away, because there is a pandemic. At least our lawn looks good. I can't say the same for my hair in 6 weeks.

March 17

Cancelled - Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, my Pilates gym is shut down until further notice. All of my classes have been cancelled. I was doing so well, too.

March 16

Take a Picture
- It will last longer. I like these notes, but it was time to clean my whiteboard.

March 15

Yes We Have No Bananas - Seriously, people. Get a grip. I’m guessing that a bunch of people are going have brown bananas are their counters in about 4 days.
