At least it stopped snowing

May 30, 2018

Here in the great Northeast, it snowed the last day of April. Mr Porter and I were outside that morning, getting an estimate from a lawn dude to see how much it would cost to fix the yard. After taking trees down last year, the yard is full of holes. We stood in the sleet … More At least it stopped snowing

Why did I give away my tiara? And other thoughts

May 10, 2018

Well here we are in Boston. No, we are not sight-seeing, it’s a medical trip.

I wanted a haircut and some caraway seeds

March 14, 2018

This time of year, everyone is Irish. For those of us in the northeast, we are sick of winter, and we need a holiday to look forward to. Enter St. Patrick. Although my ancestry is 75% Irish, let’s face it, I am an American. The only Gaelic I know is And I guess that’s it. … More I wanted a haircut and some caraway seeds

February, the longest month of the year

February 2, 2018

Recyclables roll down my street, pushed by icy winds. I am wearing layers of my heaviest clothes, and three scarves. A portion of my face is uncovered; the wind burns my skin. Bailey is content. He loves the winter. I bribe him with treats to come back indoors. Why do I live in a place … More February, the longest month of the year
