It's hot and humid again and I am suffering. I was out all day and I am so done in. Little things are so much harder in the heat and humidity. As I age I am finding it difficult to just get through. Anyway tomorrow I am taking a day off. I have things to do but they may or may not get done. I do

Two weeks ago today my driveway was paved. I had been dealing with an "airport mix" since moving here and it didn't last. Moreover the last batch was incorrectly made and it was really bad. After a tough winter and a lot of damage to the surrounding lawn, I made the decision to just go ahead and

We live busy lives. We make on the spot decision, often in short order and then regret them. I was in this situation last week. I acted upon my feelings and real information but didn't fully think through the consequences. In a couple of days I decided that being right was less important to me th

This photo makes me happy. I am learning my new camera and I think this one is pretty good even though it was taken at a good distance. The colors are pretty and fresh and it makes me smile.This as far away as my yard goes. The new zoom is good.

Every morning I spend time in the yard. With the recent excessive heat and humidity it has been difficult and I have been out early. Today is really nice though. The rain yesterday blew the humidity away and it should be pleasant and lovely all weekend. Spent some good time outside earlier.

Until about twenty minutes ago I have been living in a heat wave. Six days of excessive heat and humidity are difficult and exhausting. And finally there is rain. I am so excited. I am working at Tanglewood tonight and tomorrow and I am so happy about this rain. It is the opening for the Boston S

Finn is my second pup in my current gang. He came from New York and lost his home in a fire. His sister was adopted but he was big for a Yorkie and very timid. When I saw him online, there was something in his eyes that drew me in. As it happened I adopted his now sister Margie the day before and

I know it is the 4th of July and a big day for America. For me it is a day to stay in and relax, enjoy the dogs and my air-conditioning. When given my druthers in this weather I am exactly where I want to be. A few garden pictures from earlier.

The temperatures in the Berkshires are still deadly and the humidity is persistent. I have worked for a number of days in the worst circumstances. I couldn't do it today too, so I opted out. James Taylor is at Tanglewood, but I won't be. In addition to the heat and humidity the crowds are overwhe
