Hoerman's House

My life day to day

Lounging Lizard

Found this five lined skink lounging on a burned log in the fire pit. Will have to thoroughly check the fire pit next time we use it. Don’t want to burn up any critters.

My What Big Red Eyes You Have

We have a LOT of cicada’s this year. Found this one on the bird bath. Thank God for a zoom lens on the camera.

His Last Day

Glen took Petey’s picture on his last day. We are all still trying to get used to a house without him in it.

The Weekend is Like any other Day

For Lily, the weekend is just another day to nap.

Sad Farewell

Yesterday was a very long and sad day. Glen and I decided it was time to bid our sweet dog, Petey, farewell. At 16 he could barely walk without falling and we had no way of knowing just how much pain he was in. The decision is never an easy one to come to, and you always second guess yourself. I thought I would share two of my favorite pictures of Petey.

You were a sweet, gentle boy with the softest fur. You were loved and you will definitely be missed!

Hunting Moths

Lily has quite the appetite for moths. She is always on the hunt for them while sitting on the window sill.

How Does She Sleep Like That?

This is from a couple of weeks ago when Lucy still had to wear the cone of shame. I forgot I had taken this picture. She is a master napper, so she didn’t let the cone get in her way.

Stinking Chamomile

Glen picked some fresh flowers for me yesterday. They look like little daisies and are quite pretty. The true name of this flower is anthemis cotula, but is commonly called stinking chamomile due to its unpleasant odor and its resemblance to the true chamomile. Although they may smell horrible, they brightened my day 🙂

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
