dave started feeding the koi again the other day (they don’t eat in cold weather) and it seems speck found herself another food source. it should be noted that speck is of sizable girth and is no need of further food, especially that which is stolen from the mouths of fish. the beginning part of the video was shot by dave from inside the house and right after he finished shooting speck apparently took a header into the pond. we deduced this from two things: a...

so it would seem i’ve been neglecting this blog but i’m asking that you hang in there with me. i don’t seem to be emerging from my funk as quickly as i would have hoped and whatever creative juices i might have had in the past have seemingly dried up. i think of things i’d like to let you know about but then i can’t seem to summon up the energy to actually get them down in print and then the moment is gone. i’ve got a few things i’d...

not to be crass but december 2009 can go suck it - i have never experienced such a shit sandwich of a month as december 2009 in my life. sadly it wasn't even the type of crappy month that once you get past it you can look back and laugh - it was chock full of "only time will heal" moments. after demeter's diagnosis and the loss of astrid i couldn't shake that insipid "bad things happen in threes" idea and i really wish i was able to. the day after christmas we were enjoying...

fortunately for me nature provided some inspiration with which to ease back into blogging. last weekend we had the largest snowstorm we've seen in nashville in the 15 years we've been here. it was a fantastic weekend of being snowed in together and that along with the beautiful white blanket over everything (along with the silence) did my heart good. here are a few snippets for your enjoyment: indi relished being covered in snow we got a good bit of snow but the tail end was sleet so we ended...

in the middle of december we took demeter, jewel and dooley to the vet for what we thought would be unremarkable annual check-ups for jewel and demeter and for a recheck of a large laceration carley inflicted on dooley’s flank. at that point i thought my biggest worry was whether dooley’s butt was going to heal okay. we walked out of the vet broken-hearted after finding out that demeter had a large mass in her colon and probably a few weeks to live. an ultrasound a...
