		<description><![CDATA[Whew. I&#8217;m just back from Vermont to visit my mother and help her with Mother&#8217;s Day in the flower shop. I drove up with my sister and within hours of arriving at my mother&#8217;s a manure truck rumbled down the street. For some reason my sister thought this was hilarious. She jabbed at me and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pinterest seems a no-brainer and I can&#8217;t believe it took someone this long to think of it. We humans are such visual creatures, we love to discover new things, we love to belong, we love to assert our unique value, and we love to collect. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been up to on Pinterest most recently [...]]]></description>

LinkyTools, for all their paid subscription glory, is still less than perfect in its execution. I renewed the subscription but the automated system failed to detect the successful payment.

		<description><![CDATA[Driving this morning, I see him walking. Old man with a fisherman&#8217;s hat, walking slowly. Maybe it is because I am halfway to 70 that I wonder if I will love an old man someday. If I will find the stoop in his shoulders and the shuffle of his feet endearing. If I will kiss [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve got squirrels on squirrels of every variety &#8211; gray, black, and flying squirrels (in our attic too). Hawks, and crows, and birds of all colors and sizes. Three neighborhood Tom cats who I imagine come here for the hunting. A dog [...]]]></description>

They have become quite delightful, fetching toys, wrestling one another, sleeping on heads and tucked under chins, trilling their greetings, and showing off their intelligence to the delight of visitors.
