When we rely upon laws to enforce decent behavior, we end up spending our hard-earned money on attorneys. Rather than legal recourse, I’m on a mission to amp up my personal charm and collaborative kindness. Good manners are contagious.
Let’s get viral together.
Winnie Nielsen says: That lamp looks like a little solar version?
Bump has rallied again. The vet called me this morning and so we will take each day as it comes and work to keep him comfortable if he needs anything different than the medication routine he is on at present. He seems to be feeling much better than the weekend and acting more like nothing is wrong. He will never be robust again but as long as he has no pain or other troubling symptoms, we will take that as a good sign and just enjoy what good time is left. Thank-you for your sweet heartfelt comments. I was a wreck this weekend in anticipatory grief.
Karlyne says: At first sight, I thought you’d crocheted him a little vest…
Janice L Slater says: Beautiful picture. Looks like a woodpecker. We have an amazing woodpecker that hangs upsidedown to eat from our feeders. His undertail is brilliant orange! Fun to watch.
Lisa Von Saunder says: Here’s your darling Jasper playing in the new snow ! BB king, Earl and Frankie say hi and send kitty kisses.
Gerald says: Nice eyes, lovely gray and tan cat.
Gerald says: Fall is upon us, winter is not far behind..
Winnie Nielsen says: Just look at that beautiful iron work on the bench! What a lovely piece to place where it is perfect for sitting and having quiet time.
Speaking of sitting, the weather has cooled down in the evenings and mornings and I am seriously working on perfecting my PorchSittin’ technique on our back porch. Early mornings you will find me and Bump bird watching and enjoying a cup of coffee. It is a skill worthy of the highest level of participation!
Cindi says: Oh wow! That is beautiful!! Well, all of the daily pictures are beautiful, but… what a stunning creation in this one.
MaryJane says: Thank you Cindi and good morning!
Winnie Nielsen says: Whew, I am late checking in today! This photo of the wooden angel is beautiful. I love the simplicity and use of natural material.
Lisa Von Saunder says: we all need few more angels in our lives !
Lisa Von Saunder says: That squirrel looks like he’s about to talk to you. It’s like he has questions that need to be answered.
Winnie Nielsen says: It is interesting how different your squirrel looks from the ones in my yard here in Florida. Many of ours have reddish brown fur and white bellies with a darker tail that is sometimes striped like a coon tail. Or maybe we have too much local inbreeding in this neighborhood?

MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
This is the color that our regional Southern Red Maple leaves turn in the Fall. Right now, along river edges where they grow best, the leaves are bright red with some oranges and yellows mixed in. These colors along with the beautiful sienna orange of the Cypress reflect into the tannin waters of our rivers in a spectacular show.
Thank you for your contagious commit, I will keep your words of advise close to my heart. Oh, how I love the outdoors, what one single leaf can do on a pile of warm inviting outdoor wood-it warms my soul with a cup of hot tea waiting for me after retrieving objects from the outdoor environment and adding them to my indoor decorating.
