Ramblings from White Mountain

Yesterday evenings storm clouds that got all ruffled came over the mountains to the west. Whew. Mish was tired of having to cower under the covers of our bed. He’s spent hours hiding in there, lately. He’s a fair weather kitty with no appreciation for the beauty of cloud formations.

This year is going to go by so very fast, I can already tell. I’m just hoping I didn’t miss an entire year! We are thinking about gardening and looking at seed catalogs online. We’re going to limit the varieties of things to plant this year, and just plant things we tend to use the […]
