I bought my beloved a birthday gift, and ever since I made the purchase, I fretted about it.
You need to understand something about Mr. Chili. He’s a thinker. He loves little more than he loves research and investigation. He’s had it in his mind that he wants a bike for about three years now, and [...]

The “this I believe” edition.

This afternoon, my bicycle came up from the basement, where it’s been for at least a decade. Mr. Chili pumped up the tires (which, amazingly, held the air) and dusted the major cobwebs off and Beanie, Punkin’ and I went for a little ride. We headed off down the street and through a [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this lately (actually, if I’m going to tell the truth, I’ll have to say that this has been an issue for me for my entire adult life - it just changes a shade here and a bit there, but whatever), and I don’t seem to be getting [...]

I’m posting twice today because I want you all to go on over to see Jake. He’s got something to say that’s near and dear to my heart, and he says it with an insight and precision that worked just right for me.
Read, comment (tell him I sent ya), and for the love of all [...]

This critter, that many of you helpfully identified as a woodchuck (or, as Gerry calls them, groundchucks) when I first posted about her last year, seems to be an annual visitor to my yard. I noticed her (I’m assuming the feminine gender for convenience) yesterday afternoon while I was finishing my lunch; as I [...]
