Howdy! Welcome to the June Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour. We’re talking Beach Reads this month. I’m not heading to the beach this summer, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a perilously tall TBR pile. I’m currently reading something decidedly un-beach-like on my Kindle. John Taylor Gatto’s Dumbing Us Down: The … Continue reading →
Better late than never. For various reasons, it seems like it’s been a busy month. Let’s see how it looks here. San Antonio House: Mr. L went down for a couple of weeks and took care of the yard, replaced a bad board, fixed a window sill, primed and painted, … Continue reading →
I’m trying to trap Boomer. No luck so far. Here are some trap antics that have ensued in the process: Junior readily entered the trap and was surprised when he got caught. I foolishly attempted to transfer him to a carrier, and he escaped. He came back to eat Fancy … Continue reading →
