From the time he was a puppy Geordie had a type – he liked Shelties!
(And true to his dog nature, he didn’t care if they were in a committed relationship or not.)
What can I say? I had a “type”.
There’s a girl over there? Let me hide behind you. I’m too shy to talk!

Now I feel like an idiot for doing it one drop at a time.
I found out recently that there is something called Green Lightning that can create nitrogen for fertilizer using electricity, water and air. The company says it uses about the same amount of energy as a toaster. They claim it can pay for itself in a year. So how much does it cost? First the low down payment of $97.00…then a second payment of $11,500.00 and a final payment of $27,040.00. Easy peasy lemon squeezey! (Guess we’ll have to stick to dog pee.)

OK, seriously, I have this big bottle of collagen that it’s obvious I can’t take. Any suggestions what I can do with it? Can you compost collagen?

This rustic Bear Paw Quilt would fit in nicely at a cabin by the lake or thrown over your couch at home. The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy. The overall effect of the quilt is of paw prints in snow. On sunny days, the colors look so inviting it is hard not to lie down on them and take a nap.
Handmade Bear Paw Quilt and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

Work smarter, not harder, right?
I think he was onto something.

My aunt told me about this challenge years ago. She said that if you get rid of one thing each day – even if it’s something as small as a paperclip – at the end of the year you will have made significant progress in cleaning up your house.
I thought of this challenge as I was hanging my new calendar. What if, to keep myself honest, I wrote what it was that I got rid of each day on the calendar? So far, this has turned out to be a great motivator. Trying to sort out an entire desk drawer might seem intimidating, but getting rid of that cable from a camera you don’t even have anymore is easy. After a while, these little steps add up.
I wish I could say that the place looks neater already. Instead I can say that the stack of items I have to give to charity is growing steadily. I keep hoping that somehow my donations will make it to areas of the country that have been devastated. Their loss is so great. I want to help, but I have so little. Perhaps this will be a way for me to make a difference.

In case you aren’t familiar with the backstory….
(The point being that I bought a used car that looks a lot like a toaster…)
*
*
(This is only imaginary. I would never use the ejector seat in the car for my puppies!)
*****************************
Now this happened for real on a drive home. After squabbling in the car, the two boys were so tired that they fell asleep together. It is one of my treasured memories.
*
I wasn’t there for that occasion, but I am very good at sleeping on my own.

Unlike those two, I’ve lived in other houses.
I know.

Due to a change in circumstances, I find myself unable to make Royal pillows any longer. I still have several large ones and several smaller ones in stock, and I would like to find good homes for them. These pillows would make a lovely gift for the princess in your life who may have an upcoming birthday!

If the Great Pumpkin shows up, I get to eat him, right?

This week, I heard a terrible crash and found Murphy on top of his kennel. In real life all I did was laugh and tell him to get down. I didn’t want him helping himself to his treats, but at the same time I was so happy to see him confident enough to get in trouble.
*
You’re not really mad at me, are you?
*******************
(This is one of the early pictures I took of Murphy. Back then he always looked so frightened. )

All year I have been saving the reward points that come with my credit card. I was hoping to consider those points Found Money spend them on a luxury – something I wanted but didn’t need. Last week I saw this decoration and thought, “I could give Christmas Puppy a family!! The cost is almost exactly the value of my points!”
*
*
To his dismay, Christmas Puppy will have to continue being single, though, since in reality I will be putting those points toward Toby’s upcoming surgery.
I think Christmas Puppy would be have been more appreciative of my gift.
Of course he would be. I don’t want to have surgery!
