I want to take a minute to apologize for not blogging much this month. But we've been dealing with our little old timer Gracie who has been very ill.

After getting no answers from the previous veterinary group we've been with, we took her to another vet who immediately suspected Cushing's Disease. She did the proper blood test and sure enough it came back positive.

Now with medication we hope this will give us a little more time with her and I can get back to creating my folk art and blogging.

Thank you all for understanding.

Wishing you all a happy and blessed Easter!!

In Like A Lion...

We knew February was too good to be true. Unusually warm temperatures... Bright sunshine...
It all went out the window after midnight on March 1st. Nor'easter Riley blew through and wreaked havoc on Central New York dumping between 28"-30" of snow on us.

Thank the Lord above for the inventor of the generator and for good ol' Ben Franklin's smarts to invent the "Pennsylvania fireplace" which led to the wood stove. We are blessed to have both.

We lost power, cable and internet. All the wonderful luxuries at times we take for granted. It took two days to dig out. The older we get the slower it is to dig out.

I've heard the whole month of March is supposed to be a stormy one.
I'm guessing the "out like a lamb" is out of the question.
So I'd better "eats me spinach" and get my snow shovel ready!
