Heavy rain falling in the afternoon sun.  This means that a rainbow can’t be far behind.

Of all the parks in all the towns in all the world, what are the odds we’d run into family at Coney Island for Independence Eve fireworks?

Apparently the odds are 1 in 1 … This was our first trip here, and somehow we managed to accidentally find each other in a crowd of over [...]

Every spring, hundreds of houseflies gather on our porch railing to bask in the sun and socialize.  At first I thought they were mating, but a close inspection showed there was no hanky-panky going on.  So maybe this deck rail is their meeting place, where the flies flirt to find a mate, and then they [...]

It’s time for the annual Spring Egg Hunt at Tower Park in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky!

This is the first year we’ve attended.  Though there were thousands of colored eggs on the ground, residents informed us that the recession caused a huge cutback in the number of eggs this year.

We woke up to an inch of snow Saturday morning, so we went for a long hike out back.  Good thing we got out early because most of the snow had melted by noon.

Theresa and Shadow can’t help but smile while hiking through the pretty snow.

The adventures of Darby and Shadow continue!  Watch as Darby tries to hop through the deep snow in our back yard.  That “little wood bone” you see sticking up from the snow when Darby first stops is the grave marker from our last dog, Peanut.

Check out this video of Theresa testing her new Mossberg 20-gauge pump-action shotgun.  Theresa practiced killing zombies for when the bio-engineered plague infects humankind in the 2012 Apocalypse.   
She’s a crack shot and went 5-for-5.  We decided to kill our old water heater at Little Wolf… that’ll teach it not to work!

We are certainly enjoying our new friend, Jabba the Toad.

Jabba tried but couldn’t figure out how to safely climb in the dog’s metal water dish.

As I reported earlier, we have a toad friend who has moved onto our porch.  At night he sits in front of the sliding glass door and feasts upon the endless supply of bugs trying to get to the light inside. 
This little toad certainly has it made.  He has the porch all to himself.  [...]

We have a new toad friend who lives on our porch, swims in our dogs’ water bowl, and sits in front of the patio door all night long eating bugs dancing in the light.  He has such an easy life that he has grown quite fat, which is why we call him “Jabba the Toad.”
