Patricia Proctor's Blog: My Dog Can Fly

I haven’t been writing much because life is soooo exciting I can’t find the time to fit it into my schedule. Patty told me this morning that the domain name for this site is about to expire  and did I want to continue with it or drop it. That is such a big decision! I [Read More]

Well, the last time I posted was in July of last year. At the time I shared about starting a new website – well the way things go – that didn’t last too long. In September I decided I didn’t like the name of that site – so switched to a new domain – ExploringVancouverUSA.com. [Read More]

Well, if one thing doesn’t work – try something else. For me this means starting a new website. Who knows how many I have started – lost count. But – here is a bit about my latest. It is called  Living in Vancouver Washington. It will be about just that. Places I check out, people [Read More]

It is planned so that [Read More]

Especially the tomatoes. This week we are back to normal with temperatures in the low 60’s. I decided to bring the [Read More]

Another beautiful day of warmth and sunshine. Love it. Went to a huge plant and garden art show at the Portland Expo Center this morning. Lots of fun things to put in the garden – took some pictures and maybe will get some day or who knows. Was fun.     We wandered around for quite [Read More]

This morning I decided it was a good time to fertilize the roses. So I was out in front doing that when a guy comes along and asks me if this is my dog. Dog? What dog? I look up and there is a happy, looking dog tootling down the street. I say no, not [Read More]

Spent the morning going through the pantry and cleaning out things that were outdated or would never be used. Surprising how fast things get out dated. Had quite a stack when I was done and lots more room on the shelves. Nice. Today is the warmest day yet. Supposed to get up to 84 degrees.  That [Read More]
