Crossposted from AroundCarson.com. January is always the doldrums of winter. This is when we get the coldest temperatures and the stillest air, when the snow falls and doesn’t melt, when everything is at its dirtiest and ugliest. It’s also usually the only time of the year that we get any appreciable amount of fog, and [...]
We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to see the lunar eclipse Monday night. It had been snowing and raining all weekend, and the forecast called for the weather to continue through the week. Even Monday through the day it was mostly overcast. But after sunset the clouds parted and the stars [...]
Sometimes I don’t want to carry the big camera around with me. Like if I have both kids with me, and I have to keep an eye on both of them in a crowded area, and we’re going to be walking around in the cold and I just don’t want that heavy piece of machinery [...]
Happy Halloween (a few days late). Scenes from this year’s trick or treating, with the largest group we’ve gone out with so far. This group also was out trick or treating. And we saw this at Starbucks. Video of all the kids trick or treating:

This is part 2 of our trip to Apple Hill. Part 1 is here. We went down the street to one of the other farms, a sprawling place called Kids, Inc. We found one of the smallest corn mazes ever invented, but at least the kids had fun running back and forth, back and forth. [...]
A few weeks ago we went over the mountains to Apple Hill in California. We went with a whole group of friends and spent the day visiting the farms, going in a corn maze, making homemade candles, seeing the animals, and of course picking apples. One of our first stops was at Bavarian Hills Orchards [...]
The little puppy is still with us. Grammy took her in. So now we get to watch her grow. Grammy named her Baby Boo, although we’ll see if she keeps that name even when she’s grown up and not a baby any more. There were a couple of other wild animals hanging around the house [...]
We are a magnet for stray and unwanted animals. This time it’s another puppy, a little thing that we’ve named Princess. This time we absolutely cannot keep another dog, so now we’re trying to find her a good home.
