May and October, the best-smelling months? I'll make a case for December: evergreen, frost, wood smoke, cinnamon

"Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves, we have had our summer evenings, now for October eves."

At what size does a spider stop being an arachnid and become a rodent?

I have a strong phobia of spiders.

We've had a giant writing spider in our living room window for a couple of days now.

Prayers for Charlotte.R

There is a North Carolina blogger I have been following since before she had her first daughter.

I now have grandchildren the same age range as her children, so it was such a shock to read her Instagram today.
  April posted to Instagram that her two-year-old daughter, Charlotte has received the diagnosis of Leukodystrophy, a rare, incurable and terminal disease.

August is that last flicker of fun and heat before everything fades and dies

June is the gateway to summer

“Don’t you just love those 12 seconds when the laundry is done?”

Hello, March, and welcome back tornado season.
Our peak tornado season is March, April, and May, but we can see tornadoes any time during the year.
Tennessee is a part of Dixie Alley.

While I really love the longer daylight hours and the warmer temperatures, I also dread this time of the year for the storms that pop up.

The stormy March has come at last

Pillow Talk

So, apparently, last night Badger woke me up and requested breakfast for this morning.
Now I have this totally weird thing where, if you wake me up out of a sound sleep, there's a very real chance that I'll open my eyes and have a semi-intelligent conversation with you. 
I may even toddle off to the bathroom, but I won't remember one thing about it come morning.
