More spiders than spoons…
I was outside on the porch drinking coffee this morning and spotted this quirky looking little bug on my mug. I gave it a little nudge with my finger and it sprang a good four feet through the air, startling me as much as I must have started the bug. The bedroom painting odyssey continues......

A friend of ours lives in a gated community that has a pool, and invited us to come hang out at the pool today. I was initially very excited, because I absolutely love to swim! And then as I was trying to remember where I'd stored my bathing suit, I realized I had a quandary:... Continue Reading →
After taking it real easy for the first couple of days of my staycation, today I felt up to tackling a couple of chores. I'd been promising to trim back the way-overgrown privet bushes as soon as they were done blooming, and that was over a week ago, so I figured I'd start there. It... Continue Reading →

Yesterday at work, I was running between two of the buildings I work at and came across a bunch of purple viney plant parts strewn across the parking lot. I am not sure how it got there - maybe someone had been transporting an overgrown hanging plant and lost some of it? But I felt... Continue Reading →
This one was 'speeding' (for a millipede) down my downstairs hallway just now. Luckily I found it before one of the resident felines or eater-of-things spotted it.
