When you have pets you know that their lives, although such a huge part of your own, will most likely come to an end .  You might try to prepare yourself but when it happens it is still a really difficult thing.   Five years Continue reading →

Just Trying to Be One of the Herd

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 11 Comments/ 510

What a wonderful surprise this past Saturday when an afternoon spent at a local Artisan’s Market included visiting with a herd of llamas. We found a parking place on the lovely property of Deerwood Reserve where the White Squirrel Artisan’s Market was being held. We Continue reading →

Fat Bear Week 2023

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 3 Comments/ 910

I almost missed it again. Last year I got in on the last few days of Fat Bear Week and this year it is the same. 2 days of voting left. I have resolved to mark my calendar for next year so that I don’t Continue reading →

Maksim Turns Four!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 34 Comments/ 557

Maksim turns four years old today and it is time to celebrate. This cat has brought us so much happiness – it is ridiculous. His antics keep us (and the internet) amused and I can’t imagine what we did before he arrived. Holly, on the Continue reading →

Deer and Foxes and Bears, Oh My!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 30 Comments/ 624

I have shared many times here on It’s Just Life that we live in a magical place. Our neighborhood community, Connestee Falls , boasts almost 4000 acres of wooded land that is home to not only us but to an amazing array of wildlife. It Continue reading →

Who Goes There?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 26 Comments/ 530

It’s always an adventure living in the forest and some days it gets a little bit more wild than others. It is fawn season and one of our resident deer mamas has a pattern set to come to visit our neighbors and us at various Continue reading →

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 20 Comments/ 547

I grew up with a father who loved to listen to birds and identify them. I remember him having binoculars to check them out and to try to identify them in our yard. I have always have bird feeders around and enjoyed seeing them even Continue reading →

What Is A Sniffy Bush?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals, Writing/ 22 Comments/ 676

Last night I couldn’t fall to sleep right away. Weird, since I was finally home in my own bed and was happy to be there. You know that kind of night, don’t you?  When you just can’t shut off the thoughts?  Well, last night I Continue reading →

It’s Birthday Time!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 28 Comments/ 15350

Today is Maksim’s 3rd birthday! Woo hoo! I “might” have gotten a birthday candle to put on his breakfast this morning. I know it is silly but this cat has been THE best thing ever. He makes us laugh and is still all kitten at Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
