We’ve seen so many critters around the house this year. Some good, some not so good. Let’s talk about another of the good ones. All frogs are cute, I think. But baby frogs are especially adorable. If you walk around … Continue reading

Snow Before Surgery
It snowed the day before my knee surgery. To me this seemed like a clear invitation to enjoy one last hike before temporarily losing my walking privileges. I accepted the invitation gladly, if cautiously. The last thing I wanted to … Continue reading
