So, that title is a little misleading and also somewhat unfair to the blizzard that wreaked havoc on us last week and hasn’t really let us forget it. But it is the milestone marker for the insanity we’ve dealt with since he came round. As a professional nerd who lavishes in the luxury of working …

Black Swallowtail Butterflies Like Parsley
This weekend, I have learned something new and interesting about, arguably, some of the prettiest insects in the animal kingdom, butterflies. Lining our driveway, in the rainwater runoff path, we have a butterfly garden planted with many pretty blooming plants (and currently, a healthy host of weeds).

Lions and Dogs and Squirrels, Oh My
Yes, yes, I know I post really infrequently. Life has been… crappy horrible insane busy. Shut up.

So, we needed to get our gutters cleaned. They were gross. It caused us problems during the Snowpocalypse of 2010 with hugemongous icicles forming on the side of our house. They dangled from the gutters and attached to one of the spare bedroom’s window. And then it melted. Into the window. Onto a box of …

End of a Very Busy 2010
This year has been a crazy roller coaster of things! Some bad but most everything very good. We’ve been in our little blue house for a whole year now and married for almost 7 months. We lost a very sweet and beloved kitty but are looking to find a dog to round out the menagerie. …

Absentee Blogger
I am a bad blogger. I promised an update during the long weekend and didn’t deliver. I apologize. Lots. I even had a fun post about shoes drafted that I never bothered to post. Some day soon. Promises. It has been super hot here the last few weeks. We haven’t hardly had a chance to …

Wedding Day Recap
Goal #1: At the end of the day, be married to the person you love most in the world. ACHIEVED Things did not all go as planned, which if anyone will recall, was planned. And everyone loved it anyway which was so much more important to me.
