Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley. We had some rain last night but today the sky is blue and the sun is shining. This weather sure is unpredictable, it can change quickly. The cats were here early this morning and ready for their breakfast. The wind is blowing pretty hard and they do not like it, but they are more hungry than scared. Bob is washing the breakfast dishes and he will soon have my kitchen spotless. It sure is nice to have a good dishwasher, I think I will keep him. We have had another busy week. We did some more...
Less than a mile from the sugar-white sands of Grayton Beach State Park, at a depth of 58 feet, lies a one-acre permit patch of seabed known as the Underwater Museum Of Art (UMA). UMA is North America’s first permanent underwater sculpture park, nestled in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of South Walton, Florida. Beneath the surface, art and the aquatic environment fuse together as one, creating breathtaking experiences that dare our perceptions of the beauty of art and its potential. One purpose of UMA is to create art that becomes marine h...
Well it is a little cool this morning here in our little valley. The sun is shining and the sky is blue. The cats were up and ready for their breakfast this morning. I do not think they like the time changes, I guess it takes everybody a good while to get used to going back or forward an hour. Our fruit trees are blooming. We have been having some very cool mornings with some light frost. I hope the frost has not got all the fruit, now a days it is hard to have fruit trees in a valley and next to a creek. Bob has got the breakfast dishes done... Full story
Hi I'm Ducky! I'm as sweet and lovable as they come but I do need a special person to adopt me. I came to the shelter right after my puppies were taken from me. Since then I've only been good around younger dogs. I'm very protective of them and will growl and bark at other dogs. THAT has gotten me into a couple of skirmishes and I've been the one hurt. You could say I act like I'm tough but I'm "all bark". I will do best in a home where I'm the only dog and I have my own person to take care of....

Q.) Where did you grow up? A.) I was born in Memphis, but we moved to Hohenwald a couple of weeks before my 4th birthday. Q.) What is one of your fondest childhood memories? A.)

What did you actually become? A.) I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I just knew I wanted a husband and a happy life. I am thankful I have that right now. I became a local radio...
Well, THOSE eagerly anticipated revelations certainly crashed and burned. You may recall that last summer a former intelligence officer told Congress that Uncle Sam maintains a covert stockpile of downed alien spacecraft and corpses. (“Doesn’t he look unnatural?”) But now a wide-ranging report by the Defense Department’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) declares there is zero reasonable evidence of a secret program to recover dead extraterrestrials and reverse-engineer their technol...

As a writer, I can’t deny harboring an appreciation for the richness of slang, metaphors, similes and colloquialisms. And yet…there’s something not quite rational about the agitators who force our language to evolve. (“Come on, participle! Crawl up on dry land! That gerund is beating you!”) There is an undisputed utility to manufactured terms such as “gerrymander,” “carpetbagger” and “flyover country”; but other linguistic innovations have been more frivolous. (Society’s onetime fascination wit...

With a lifetime of research and experimentation with color, the chalk paint she created in the ‘90s remains incredibly popular. Since 1988, Annie Sloan has impressively published 26 books, serving as an invaluable resource for those researching the idea of furniture upcycling and restoration. Both seasoned artists and newcomers to the world of Chalk Paint appreciate its flex...

Well we have been having some beautiful and sunny, but cool mornings here in our little valley. We have also had just a few much needed rainy mornings. This morning the sun is bright and the sky is blue, the wind is blowing and the trees are budding out.
