Scout: I Am Not A Pillow
Not sure what is going on here. Poor Scout.
Trixie Diaries: Six Months, How Time Flies
She’s six months old this week and not sure how it’s gone so fast. Although, she has not problem being a lap dog. The amazing shrinking panda bear. And obligatory Easter puppies. She’s just the best puppy. Sweet as can be, listens, and learns quickly. And aside from her recent predilection for chewing on inappropriate…
Happy Spring!
I spent yesterday cleaning up the yard in anticipation of Spring Equinox. Taking stock of what survived the winter and what will need to be replaced. While there is no sign of an Iris or Pussy Willow after this harsh winter, I was happy to see it looks like only one bunch of daisies will…
Why You Keep Doing That?
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to work now that Willow has learned to jump in my lap for scritches. She’s a persistent little fluffball. And she’s super peeved I keep dumping her into the chair next to me… But rest assured, I am busy editing Duxbridge Mysteries!
Instant Pot: Revisiting Pot Roast
Revisiting this recipe because it’s been ridiculously cold this week and I’ve about had it with ducks being inside and puppies crazed because they aren’t getting enough outdoor time.

Don’t Let Them Fool You
They look so innocent… …yet they are not. Story soon.
Things Are Going Well
I give it a week and they’ll be sleeping together.
Welcome Little Willow
Willodene Jolene has landed. She’s about 6-7 months old, which completely goes against my “oldest/longest kitty in the shelter” rule. After fostering a mama (Missy) and her five 1-day old kittens (Jake!) I swore off kittens forever. But this girl picked me, so who am I to refuse? Once it’s determined my new additions…
French Butter Cookies From Scratch
I recently had to get a Costco membership – long, boring story – but it’s already paying off. When I came home from Paris four years ago, my suitcase contained 10 packages of St. Michel Butter Cookies (Galettes). I was besotted. Super buttery, flakey, not terribly sweet with just a touch of salt. Costco sells…
