When I come across products that really work, I love to pass these finds onto friends. The following two items pass both my form and function test. They do what they are intended to do in excellent fashion. You can find both of these at your local Bed Bath & Beyond store, or click on the photos to buy them online.(Images and description courtesy of BB&B website.) Have you made any great product discoveries lately?
I’ve been a little under the weather, and wanted to make myself a healing soup that wasn’t the usual boring Chicken Soup. This Seafood Curry Chowder, with its Indian spices (which helps open breathing passages) and chicken broth (general fixer-upper elixir) gives a one-two punch!
BUT…
It’s so rich and delicious and special–and SIMPLE to make–that you could serve this at any dinner party and get rave reviews. It’s my family and friends’ all time favorite soup!

If you’ve had animals your entire life, you’ve probably had the experience of frantically searching for a lost pet somewhere along the line. And you also know how truly heart-wrenching and helpless it makes you feel. Well here’s a tip that can literally be a life saver in helping you find any lost pet.
Recently, talking with one of my more orginal-thinker dog friends, she shared this tip for how she’s found her and some of her friends’ missing animals.… Read More
Early post this week so I can share one of my favorite holiday presents with you. This Thursday night into early Friday morning, we’ll get to watch one of nature’s most wondrous annual celestial light shows–the Geminids meteor shower.
What’s perfect about this year is that the moon will have set before the meteors come out to play from around 10 p.m. through 3 a.m., so the sky should be nice and dark for optimal viewing. There could be … Read More
It’s been an eventful and interesting day, starting at 3:30 a.m. this morning…
…with a pit stop at the emergency vet’s, along the way.
Kiera had a little issue that was easily resolved, and all’s well that ends well on that front.
That’s by way of saying that if you don’t know where your nearest emergency vet facility is, you should find out now.
My day was made a lot more manageable by knowing exactly where our emergency clinic was … Read More
I was recently asked by an interviewer what I’ve learned from my dogs. Since he was referring to Dogs of Dreamtime, he was specifically asking about Kiera, Magic, and Molly.
To put into context some of what I’ve learned from my animals, it helps to know that, left to my own devices, I gravitate toward intense herding breeds. Kiera is an Australian Shepherd. Graidy is a Border Collie mix. Magic was an English Shepherd mix, who died from Lyme … Read More
I learned a long time ago that, when I’m paying attention, I can always find a silver lining in the most difficult of circumstances.
The silver lining in Kiera not fully recovering from Vestibular Disease is that it has given me the push I needed to decide to work from home rather than going into the office every day.
As I’ve watched Kiera’s age finally catch up to her big time, I’ve been feeling that I don’t want to be … Read More
I love nature. And I feel fortunate to live in close proximity to all that the great wilds of the Adirondacks have to offer.
But, um, this is perhaps a tad too close for comfort. Yep, this is a very big black bear sauntering through my mother’s front yard. Thankfully, all dogs were safely inside.
And here’s a lovely doe in the backyard. Both passed through within minutes of each other.
Over the years, we’ve seen more and more of … Read More
