Critter Karma Failings
Well… my critter karma is not going so well. I saved another turtle this week, but I also witnessed my dog catching a squirrel. Then this morning at 2 a.m. a quarter sized spider crawled across my thigh while I was in my bed. Naturally sheets must be washed and the bed must be properly…

Critter Karma
Critter Karma: The concept that I will only go out of my way to unalive a bug or animal if it is in my home or endangering a person/property.

That meant for any of my friends engagement parties or bachelorette weekends or weddings I had to travel back to school on my own. I was headed to Kentucky for my roommate’s wedding when I…

Memories
When I was a kid, I would check out dozens of books at a time from the library. One summer I read every Nancy Drew book in their collection. Another summer it was the babysitters club. I remember one day sitting in my living room with 10 chapter books, Simple chapter books, and just reading…

April Showers
As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers. But I have long considered this inaccurate. It seems like May showers bring June flowers. At least in my neck of the woods. Speaking of flowers, it’s farmers market time. This year I got a unique bunch from Aunt B Blossom’s in Ottawa, KS. I can’t…
