A Playground for Fiona and Morning Glory for Sue

We're currently staying in St. Paul Minnesota in a nearly 100-year old home. Right outside the window are morning glories. I've loved morning glories since I was a kid and always hoped to have some of my own. Now I do for a few weeks while house sitting.

Diagonally right across the way is a playground. [...]

Leaving Colorado and Heading Back to California for a Short Visit

We've enjoyed house sitting again for Rita in Colorado. They are coming back one day early so we're leaving a day early. That's okay. Nomads must be flexible! We're so flexible that a week or so ago we changed our plans entirely and decided to head back to California for a short visit.

Fiona hasn't seen her [...]

Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster Colorado

When you first enter the pavilion there's a section about bugs. There are scorpions and [...]
