We’ve all experienced sadness and loss in our lives. There isn’t one of us that hasn’t. Unfortunately, the more years we live on this planet, the more losses we experience and to be honest, they don’t get any easier in the actual moments, but almost more difficult as we’ve built walls around our hearts so …
LeRoy is Gone ~ All The Sad Faces and Ugly Cries
My eyes are red and swollen. I can only keep myself from crying for a few hours’ time, if that. Then I am reminded that he is no longer here by some random noise, smell, or feeling and it all comes flooding back again. LeRoy is gone. The husband brought him to the vet on …
Live Electric
by Michele Redmon Imagine that you find a magic lamp. (You know it’s magic because it’s old and gold and you’ve seen Aladdin like 100 times.) You rub it and out pops a Genie who tells you that you can have one wish right then or all three wishes in ten years. What would you …

Fashion in Leaves by Tang Chiew Ling
I randomly stumbled on these pretty fashion illustrations by artist Tang Chiew Ling using leaves and flowers to create their dresses and gowns and fell in love.

Nature Walk | Heaps Peak Arboretum
A few weeks ago, before settling down at Lou Eddie’s Pizza for a pie, the husband and I went on a little nature walk adventure up on the rim of the mountain in Skyforest. After a fire had devastated much of this land in 1922, Mary Putnam Henck and the Lake Arrowhead Women’s Club organized …
LeRoy’s Future Doesn’t Look Bright
The air is thick and the mood is heavy in our house and it has been for a few months now… though this week has most definitely been the hardest. Each day tears flow, each sleepless night, tired eyes quiver while our mind takes us to the past and to the future and to what …
