An entry called "Autumn Eyes" ought to be about taking pictures of the beautiful autumn colors we are experiencing (sort of*). Instead, it’s to whine that my eyes are still bothering me! As I posted here, I’m suffering allergy pink eye. It got better, oddly during my awful cold, but came back and last week, [...]

Reggie and I stopped by my parent’s house for a quick visit this afternoon. Annoyingly, I was there longer than Reggie. There’s a small cherry blossom tree out in front of my parent’s house that we hook Reggie to. Reggie loves this.

Let’s face it, we don’t have the greatest weather most of the year: cold-rainy springs, hot-humid summers (and this year it was rainy too), nippy-icy winters, but autumn…we usually have nice autumns. We call them Indian Summers as [...] A friend’s house was robbed while she was at work yesterday.
