Wool & Bull: Summer Sunday Morning
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2013/08/summer-sunday-morning.html
Sunday, August 11, 2013. Today I feel like I have a lot of blessings. First and foremost, Sam is still getting along okay. He's not showing any acute signs of disease - he just seems to eat less and less every day and he's getting boney. Yesterday was peach day. We've been overrun by fruit flies, so I decided to cook up all the peaches we had and get them out of the kitchen. I made peach jam and peach cobbler and both are delicious. Die, fruit flies, die! Three tips for making peach jam. I'm over-educate...

Wool & Bull: July 2012
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 5, 2012. My husband says that we live in Mayberry and sometimes that seems to be true. On the 4th of July, in particular, you see that small town spirit. One of the highlights of the day is the 4th of July parade. This is no high tech spectacle with tarted up floats. Instead, it's a true celebration of community. Anyone can participate and most do! This antique fire truck is promoting the local feed store. Families grab a piece of shade to watch the parade. The local cub scout pack. When d...

Wool & Bull: March 2013
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. Happy Birthday, Mom. Yesterday was Mom's birthday and Kate had the thoughtful idea that we should take flowers to her grave in tribute. We took carnations, because they're her favorite, and I had the florist make them blue, because that's her favorite color. The whole affair was messed up due to other factors, but, still, it was a nice idea and I'm glad we did it. So, I'm not a big cemetery visitor. There's nothing there to draw me.

Wool & Bull: "Speech After Long Silence"
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2014/02/sweet-teddy-face-after-long-time-i-feel.html
Saturday, February 15, 2014. Speech After Long Silence". After a long time, I feel like writing again today. There's nothing much going on - we're snowed in for the umpteenth time this winter. We got five inches of snow last night. Teddy is loving the snow. He doesn't seem to feel the cold and loves to snuffle around in it and get his face covered in snow. Thanks to our neighbor, Tom, who has a snow blower and cleared our driveway so Jeff and I could get out. He's such a good guy! On the drama side, Kate...

Wool & Bull: Pioneers
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2013/08/pioneers.html
Thursday, August 1, 2013. Today's good thing was brought to my attention by a friend's facebook post. She works at Chase Law School and posted a group picture of the graduating class of 1921 with the following observation: When the two women pictured above started law school in 1919, it was illegal for them to vote. Imagine that! I'm hardly an activist myself. I think politics is a dirty dirty business and I stay as far away from it as I can. It's hard to support any politician when you make the ...Great...

Wool & Bull: Dog Days
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2013/08/dog-days.html
Saturday, August 17, 2013. Today's good things are dogs playing joyfully together and Trixie Koontz's book "Life is Good.". This morning when I let the dogs out, our neighbor's dog Ginger was in the front yard. She's a large reddish dog - maybe a golden or setter mix - and I wasn't sure how the dogs would react to this stranger. After some cautious investigation (and sniffing), Pepper and Ginger began to play and it was such a treat to watch. Tiny Pepper would jump at Ginger saying "chase me!

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Don't Weed the Charmin! Today's good things are Burger King's 50 cent ice cream cones. I love that I can drive through and get a small sweet treat for 53 cents (including tax). It's not expensive and it's not huge, so it's not guilt inducing, and on a hot summer day it's a perfect little treat. As I found with other weeds, this weed has its own virtues. It's useful for making rope. Here's a video showing how to harvest the fibers for use. It's also edible - the seeds may be eate...

Wool & Bull: June 2012
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2012. This little red cutie is a little beat up, granted, but I'm loving the pictures it takes. Moreover, I love macro and this camera has a digital macro setting that goes practically microscopic. I think I'll really enjoy having it on our upcoming trips and not lugging the big Rebel all over the place. Another recent and cheap pleasure has been the discovery of Spotify. Friday, June 8, 2012. Back on the Horse? I'm almost done with my first project from the yarn I sent to the mill. ...

Wool & Bull: August 2013
http://woolandbull.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 22, 2013. The Truth and Nothing but the Truth. Today's good thing is that my daughter got safely home from a two week trip to Shanghai - where she contracted bacterial gastritis and had to make two trips to the ER for IV fluids. We were so worried, but now she's back home and feeling better. At the end, he resigns from the White House staff and goes to join his elder son in a protest that lands him in jail. The son later becomes a congressman. We left the theater thinking, wow, what an a...
