Dog Days of Summer

This is Shepherd.  He rules the roost around here.  Most of the year, he's a very energetic, frisky 10 year old.  But when the heat of summer hits, he becomes best friends with air conditioning vents all over the house.  Usually, it's about July before the heat gets HOT around here.  I remember June last year had a lot of "cooler" days (cooler in Arkansas = under 90).  Not so this year.  The heat came and boy, has it stayed.

That's why we call it "air you can wear."

Yes, it does look like he takes up the whole bed, doesn't it?

A Change in Attitude

I'm starting fresh with a new blog, here. Sometimes it is easier to start with a clean slate. I'm leaving my old blog Lamplight and beginning a new start here.

I'm drawn more and more to cooking and gardening these days. I'm sure there will still be some sewing and knitting around here, just not as the main focus anymore. And of course, everyone I know is interested in helping the budget go further!

So, let's go!
