This spring in Utah has been incredibly wet. On father’s day we got over an inch of rain, breaking the all-time daily rainfall record in Salt Lake City. I took this clip during one downpour–keep in mind this is highly unusual in Utah–and I had watered my lawn the previous day thinking ‘we won’t get all that much rain’. Silly me. Read more →
When a Plant Loves it’s home…
A lot of things in my yard come home from the store looking green and healthy, and then proceed to die. If you don’t count the garden, I think I really only have one flowerbed that could be considered fertile. After reseeding the whole lawn, and digging most everything else up at least once, I’m not sure I’ll have the ambition… Read more →
Tape with a Cat Problem
Anyone else out there have a cat with a serious tape fetish? I don’t use my scotch tape that often, but somehow I always seem to find it in this shape. (Note the telltale orange fur stuck to the tape.) She’s also quite happy to chew on tape on shipping boxes and the sticky paper from the lint roller (if… Read more →
As seen while driving…
Bright red Jaguar, rockin’ the stuffed animals. Precious! Read more →
Longer than I’d like…
It’s been longer than I’d like since I posted anything of interest. Here’s a quick update on life that’s slightly overdue. Our last vacation ended and I immediately went back to work. I remind myself that I really should take at least a day of ‘vacation’ after our travelling vacations just to recover. Somehow the practical half of my brain… Read more →

Home Sweet Home
We had an excellent time on our trip to WI, but it’s OH SO GOOD to be HOME! We started the return trip from home (Loganville, WI) at 6:20am and checked into our hotel shortly before 10pm in Laramie, WY. Googlemaps says it’s 15 1/2 hours of driving, so accounting for gas/food stops and the time change we still made pretty… Read more →
My mom says WI has the coolest people…
Another month has quickly passed. Big news of the month: cousins Austin and Blakely got married (Congrats!). We had an excellent time seeing everyone at the wedding and hope the little tomatoes we adopted out at the groom’s dinner are doing well. In other news, we drove to Wisconsin! Jason can no longer claim to have not seen most of… Read more →
Beggin’ Burros
At Custer State Park we encountered the “Beggin’ Burros”. Jason had read about them and we specifically brought an apple from the morning’s continental breakfast. All day we drove through the park and I kept calling out “Burro…I have an Apple!”…but we didn’t actually see any burros until the end of the wildlife driving loop when we encountered this guy.… Read more →
