The cats were very diligently looking out the back door Thursday night just as we were heading up to bed. Since I like to turn the lights on in the back to make sure everything’s okay before I go upstairs, I was able to see what the cats had found. Guess what. There was a […]

We’ve been sure to keep a camera with us ever since we first saw the bison in Anson, Maine. We drove by their field a long time ago and noticed them grazing. That was the time we didn’t bring the camera. Since then, it’s been disappointment after disappointment (we never saw them again). Until yesterday. […]

I already told you about the baby birds in the garage. That was a few weeks ago. Those birds got up and flew away one day while I was stacking wood and I haven’t seen them since. I sometimes wonder where they went and if they’re okay. Then, I usually return to stacking wood. Apparently, […]

I know, I know – okay? Here’s how it got started – last night, Laura and I were watching videos of cats swimming. It looked like they were having lots of fun. And since it’s been so hot around here, I began pondering whether or not our own cat would like to try out the […]

I was outside clipping my nails in preparation for tonight’s Jiu-Jitsu class. I was halfway though my right hand ring finger when Laura burst through the back door. “Bob, I just saw a moose run down the road!” The camera was already in her hand. I threw the clippers in my pocket and we both […]

A few weeks ago, Laura and I were introduced to some ducks that live up the road. You see, next to Steve’s cabin sits a small pond. For the longest time, the pond was only filled with water. Recently though, the pond has acquired an addition – ducks. And a goose, or a gander. I […]

During our walk back from the old mill waterfall earlier this week, we passed by a local horse sanctuary. While I was far too focused on making my way through the large field next door in attempt to reach the stream for some great photo ops, Laura was busy taking pictures of a few horses. […]

A few nights ago, around 10pm, Laura and I were standing in her room looking for something to watch on Hulu. This is what we usually do before we sit down to eat dinner. Every night, we find a bit of great entertainment, make dinner, bring the dinner into her room and eat it while […]

I’m sitting here right now at the butt crack of dawn with the one and only Voleman on my lap. He’s purring away like it’s nobody’s business as well as “making muffins.” You know, when a cat kneads his claws into your leg? It’s called making muffins. I’m sure someone made that up a long […]

I am covering my ears right now because I can already hear the snickers about my love affair with Voleman. I don’t want to hear it and I challenge you to live with him for a few months without falling head over heels for him. He’s like a magnet. An orange furry one. Voleman is […]
