Labor Day 2023: Undaunted, We Picnic!
Vicki Day2023-09-08T15:16:12-07:00Here we were in the middle of what should be monsoon season and yearning for rain, so sure enough it came in torrents on the day of our Labour Day Seasons’ Eatings picnic.
All Creatures Great, Small and Green
Vicki Day2023-09-08T21:26:18-07:00While the critter-sightings seem delayed from last year, we now have spied another raccoon mama and her kidlets, and a smattering of skunks but no wee ones.
Well, FINALLY!
Vicki Day2023-09-03T09:58:40-07:00Just last week we were lamenting that we had not seen one raccoon or skunk baby and then here comes the little family.
A parking addition for your convenience
Vicki Day2023-08-15T15:08:22-07:00We are incredibly stinking blessed that the doctors and bigshots for whom my home was constructed deserved and received a private parking area even though at that time Jerome was essentially a pedestrian community.
LOTS, TONS & BUCKETS of stuff a’happenin’
Vicki Day2023-08-15T16:00:11-07:00In typical August fashion we are popping with busy-ness inside and out. Let’s start with a stroll through the gardens.
4th of July 2023: Fabulous FUN, FOOD & FRIVOLITY
Vicki Day2023-08-15T14:44:15-07:00Our first Seasons’ Eatings picnic celebrating July 4th was a rousing success complete with croquet, a modicum of badminton, specialty-crafted OH-MY-GOODNESS sangrias, and an overflowing abundance of silly-good food and even-silliergood company.
The Magic Lens
Vicki Day2024-04-05T05:17:26-07:00Our friend and photographer Michele Jones once again graced us with a visit. Take a look at how she saw, explored, and captured the magic both inside and out of all that IS The Surgeon’s House.
The Great Koi Migration
Vicki Day2023-08-15T15:18:33-07:00We have been experiencing a persistent absence of clarity in the lower pond in spite of our best treatment efforts.
Aren’t We Spiffy?
Vicki Day2023-08-15T14:33:59-07:00In a former recent blog post we told you that the only architectural feature my home did NOT offer me was the most ideal, protected, and DRY location to sit and experience storms as they make their way up and down the valley and over our mountain.
Revisit the Great Green Pepper Caper
Vicki Day2023-08-15T15:22:00-07:00Dale Carnegie should step back and genuflect in Ann Reis’ direction because that darned girl got us – we’re NOT the caterers – yet again when a glut of green peppers showed up at our food bank.
