This is Marzipan
This is Marzipan. She came to give old lady Arugula companionship when she was the last chicken standing and the two have been bosom buddies for the past 1.5 years.

Farewell, Poppy
Dad went on ahead overnight on June 22, and I am certain joined a big starlit celebration with my sister Sandy, his sister Diane, and his life love, Louann. There was a time when they were often together on laughter-filled marathon buzzing around town adventures, and they’ve all visited him in recent weeks as he…
Farewell, Rue
This is Arugula, my favorite dinosaur ever. She was gobbling up watermelon to beat the heat just yesterday and this morning I found her weak and distressed. Mercifully, by this evening, she had gone on ahead. I brought her home when she was just 2 weeks old and named her just a few days after…

Messages from Sky and Crow
My Murder has been growing in number with just a sampling here of the 10 or more that frequently show up now. I was thinking that perhaps it is the unusual cold. The past couple of days, there has been one waiting for me on the railing and one that hangs around after all the…
