Visiting Quail

Picture of the Day for April 6, 2021. A quail flew up to the ledge of the porch, checked things out, and flew away.

Leaky Roof Fun Continues

Picture of the Day for April 5, 2021. The leaky roof fun continues. Before I had my roof replaced in 2018, I only had one leak in my bedroom. Now I have to set out two bowls to catch the water. Argh!

Easter Service 2021

Picture of the Day for April 4, 2021. Every Easter I have a tradition of attending an Easter service from a different denomination than my own. This Easter and last year, due to COVID-19, I ended up watching services on YouTube. This morning I stumbled upon a compelling service from Hope Community Church out of North Carolina. This is after I tried watching a service from a local Methodist church which was lovely but moved sooooo slowly it was painful. I was struck by how different yesterday’s Passover and today’s Easter celebrations were. I love it.I think religion and belief are so fascinating  

Passover Seder

Picture of the Day for April 3, 2021. I attended my first Passover Seder. My niece and her husband are Jewish and now living in Utah. It was a wonderful experience and meal! It was baby girl’s first Passover Seder as well and she was equal parts unimpressed and vocal. So much so that she was whisked off to bed midway through the event. I was not much better behaved as I accidentally spilled my drink all over my sister who was also in attendance. Oops.

Dolly Parton Perfume

Picture of the Day for April 2, 2021. I love ❤️ Dolly Parton. Her new perfume? I was hoping to love it too. It’s okaaaaay. 

Why am I not in Jackson Hole, Wyoming?

Picture of the Day for April 1, 2021. It’s my oldest niece Chantal’s birthday and I was about to text her to see what the plans were for celebrating the day (since I’m fully vaccinated and ready to socialize), but saw that she was in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. So jealous! One of my favorite places which I have not visited in 13 years. Time to go back. 

Joe Pickett Novels

Picture of the Day for March 31, 2021. I’m circling back to the Joe Pickett series by CJ Box. The titular character is a game warden in modern-day rural Wyoming - a place that I love. I met CJ Box at a mystery writers conference I attended a few years ago. He was the guest of honor and his manly cowboy-ness caused all the women’s hearts to flutter.
