Dear Diary,
Beast has been back a few times today to play ball. He just showed up again (at dinner time) & would not leave my gate. I felt so bad making him go home. It would be so easy to just feed him, but I won’t. Not today at least.

You've made a friend!

Boy got his luggage after work today and set up his little guitar kingdom with all his new toys (pedals for every sound and distorted sound in the book). Don't worry neighbors, he's pretty respectful of sleeping hours, but he may drive you a little crazy before then.

We were friends before, but now I think I’ve inadvertently adopted a neighbors dog. It wouldn’t be the first time. Years ago my other neighbor had a beagle that lived here 3/4 of every day. He would be the life of the party whenever we had guests. He’s been gone forever, but peeps from all over the country still talk about that dog.

I'll see if he can send me a video. I should have taken one while he was here! Both boys, since moving out, have really gone a bit guitar crazy. S.Korea son now owns a mandolin, 5-string bass, and a guitar. S.Dakota boy is all about the pedals and the amp sounds for his guitar. I guess there are worse addictions... But seriously dude, pay off your student loans first!!

On my lily pad snow shovel in hand. Good morning, Pond.

We were friends before, but now I think I’ve inadvertently adopted a neighbors dog. It wouldn’t be the first time. Years ago my other neighbor had a beagle that lived here 3/4 of every day.

When we first moved here there was a beagle who would come to the house a couple of times a week. She'd scratch at the door, eat a bit and spend the night. One day she just stopped visiting.

I used to get a lot of visiting poultry that I eventually would feed. I only had one dog that actually walked into my house. That lasted a few days. He went outside with my dog, and suddenly was gone. My dog was happy to be alone.

Our neighbors dog used to be at our house all the time. He's a big chocolate lab. He was always at our front step, trying to get DS to play fetch with him or chasing my flock. He hasn't been around as much, especially since we got Smores. We've still seen Charlie around here and there, just passing by. He's always loose and goes where he pleases.

Happy belated anniversary @Ladies-Eight Amazing and inspirational!!

All the kid/grandkid talk is fascinating. I only gave birth to one child (which was all I wanted), but then inherited 4 more by re-marrying! I admit to my friends here, it was not my favorite inheritance at the time. But now, 18 years later, I wouldn’t trade a single one of them. 5 grandbabies in the last 7 years has been a blessing too. My hubby could live like the Waltons with us all on the same property, all together every day. I prefer the time spent with them now, then return them to the parents when I’ve had enough.
