Big or small, short or tall, young or old, rich or poor, feathered or featherless, there is so much happiness to be found in this world. And since Monday is the most stressful day of the week for many featherless beings (on account of something called “work”), Pearl figures it is also the perfect dayContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Redecorating”

Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Burrowing
Bruce is a native Texas box turtle, which means his species naturally lives in the southern and central parts of our home state, as well as elsewhere (including in Missouri, which had the good taste to pick the 3-toed box turtle as their state reptile). But even though he is quite literally at home hereContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Burrowing”
Friday’s Better With Feathers
Feathers make everything better. For starters, you no longer need your alarm clock to get up in the morning. Also, victuals are more delectable….if there are any left by the time you get to try them. Then there is the joy of realizing how much better home furnishings look with a little judicious “remodeling.” AndContinueContinue reading “Friday’s Better With Feathers”
Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share
Gratitude is a smooth operator. Once you see gratitude in action, you know you are seeing a master “black ops” secret agent at work.

Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Feeding
Bruce is a surprisingly picky eater! This has caused his mommy many, many stressful days and nights, worrying that he isn’t eating enough or enough variety to stay healthy and strong. It doesn’t help that, aside from the collection of water turtles we routinely rescued, cared for and released when I was a youngster, MaltiContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Feeding”

Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share
Gratitude can make even the suckiest days so much better. For instance, let’s say you are molting and you feel just awful.
