One of my favorite orchid suppliers is hosting its annual Orchid Fest today through Sunday. Parkside Orchids is normally only open to the public a few afternoons a week, but once a year, it hosts a three day event in which other vendors rent booths, and set up tables and tents to sell their goods.

Isn’t she totally adorable? I just brought her home 15 minutes ago. Right now, she’s in the library with the doors closed, although she could stick a paw around one of the doors to get out, if she really wanted. She’s a 3 year old spayed medium-haired tortie with a huge fluffy tail. I’m glad […]

Larry’s going back to the flea market to hawk his goods. He’ll be there both days this coming weekend, and the following one. Technically this should be part 2, but since it laps into the following week, I’ll leave it as is, because it will be 3. I’m coming back! I’ll be signing copies of […]

Hat Tip: Johaha All we need is Failbin or Pacione to show up to comment on this particular blog entry. The entry itself is an open letter from Aaron Polson to an unnamed “Mr. Professional Writer” who disses the little people. Although Mr. Polson claims he wasn’t the one dissed, he professes to speak for […]

Mia went in for her initial checkup this morning. She went right into her carrier, and the only peep I heard out of her the whole time was when I had to drive over a couple of nasty bumps in the road. My car has a pretty stiff suspension, so we could feel and hear […]

It’s official; her new name is Mia. I’m starting to wonder whether she’s really a cat. I can grab even her back paws, and she doesn’t seem to care. That’s just a little . . . wrong.
Just Don’t

Please do not invite me to join Twitter, Facebook, or anything like them. I simply won’t set up an account with them. It’s not a matter of “go away! I hate you!” I just find it really annoying to keep getting email asking me to join someplace I don’t want to.
Daggy Does Emotions

Hat Tip: Lewis Daggy thinks he writes better from a woman’s point of view, because, you know, he identifies with their emotions so much. I actually feel I write better from a female point of view rather than a man’s (at times), because there I get to explore more of an emotional side I might […]

My parents drove out to visit us today. We showed them the house, gardens, around town a little, and then they took us to lunch. Since they wanted to get back before rush hour, and the possible scattered t-storms, they dropped us off after lunch, and headed home. Dad claimed I gave him excellent directions, […]
Bloody Hand

This isn’t quite Michael Jackson’s “Jesus Juice.” It is, however, how my fingers look, after pitting a bag of cherries, to make a pie. They’re bright friggin’ purple! I know a couple of people who love that color, but they’re under the age of 14. Oh, well. The cherry pie will come out fine, even […]
