By the time October rolls around I’m usually too hung over from the year that’s passed to do anything for Halloween.

June 15th will be the second anniversary since we adopted Diago. Well yes, of course I keep the date marked on the calendar! For us it is a very special occasion to commemorate because the day we brought Diago home changed our life forever. I don’t know how we lived all those years without our…

Yesterday marked the start of winter here and I’m all in favour of the cold windy days that are ahead and the outfits that go with them. With the number of colourful trees I’ve been posting lately you would be forgiven for assuming that these are abundant where I live. Unfortunately though it could not…
