I’ve blogged this sculpture twice already 2014. 2020

And Flowers Pittsburgh is a local small business. Thursday evening I met Karen Toole, who along with a team of seven, arranged more than 75 bouquets of colorful flowers for the occasion!
Everyone got to take home a pretty bouquet that adorned my friend’s birthday celebration.
I learned you can host a flower arranging party for 5-10 friends or attend a floral design class in their studio.










Specializing in obsolete parts!
Clifford IS The Faucet Doctor.
He refurbished our decrepit spigot/faucet and now we have water without a leak! After two days of having the water turned off in the house, we are eternally grateful for his expertise.
Amazing. Miraculous, if you ask me.
When your home is 100 years old, it’s hard to find replacement parts. Steve found the Faucet Doctor and replacement parts weren’t a problem.
He just kept the part overnight, and by noon the next day? Voila! it’s like brand new. Steve put it in place and he turned the water back on. I was able to run the dishwasher, start the washing machine and take a shower. Hooray! Thank you Faucet Doctor.









Thanks for the fun guest blog dc
Once you see ducks in a JEEP you’ll notice more of them as you walk through a parking lot or a JEEP is stopped next to you at a red light.




My granddaughter Shanti (6) photographed the bunny in the yard next door.
I think of the book when I see rabbits in the wild.
“Watership Down is a classic 1972 adventure novel by Richard Adams about a group of wild rabbits fleeing their doomed warren to find a new home, facing predators, challenges, and building a new society on Watership Down in England”
