Lamp At Dawn

Feels like we were just here, doesn’t it. Hopefully next week will see enough extra energy to continue the Tale of Grrl!Squirrel, as well as a few other things. I did manage to get a ...

Snail, At Dawn

The tale of Grrl!Squirl will resume next week; too much to do today. SquirrelTerror may only take a few minutes to read, but requires significant time and energy to write the lunacy down properly. It’s ...

Through the Drought and Drouth

We got the deck sealed this weekend, with just enough drying time before a brief band of rain moved in. Planning and good fortune both paid off. One kid pressure-washed, the other did the actual ...
