The Demise of a Bird Feeder

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 16 Comments/ 545

Between the squirrels, deer, raccoons and bears I have a continual battle keeping bird feeders full and intact. The past couple of months I have not been very diligent in keeping them filled primarily because I don’t need bears coming and causing havoc in the Continue reading →

The Dementia Journey Continues

Beth Ann Chiles/ Dementia/ 8 Comments/ 450

The absolutely most difficult thing during this Covid -19 pandemic as I have written before is not being able to see my mom. With the spread of the virus at care centers is it so important to adhere to their restrictions and I am happy Continue reading →

Maksim’s Big Adventure

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 505

Maksim is now 10 months old and still very much a kitten. Never having had a long haired cat or even a cat with claws ( no lectures, please), our lives have been changed with this kitten. He is definitely a handful at times but Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration, Writing/ 10 Comments/ 393

Rain chain, you say? What the heck is a rain chain? Rain chains are decorative alternatives to the normal rain gutter downspouts. There are so many options out there and we have talked about getting some for the back deck for years. We have always Continue reading →

Teapot Tuesday – Floral Delight

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 6 Comments/ 370

Teapot Tuesday today is a special one. Of course they are all special but this one came from my Mom and I love the simplicity of it. She found it in the Thrift Store at Copeland Oaks years ago. The raised bumps on the surface Continue reading →

A Buffalo Named Custer

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 12 Comments/ 407

I was looking at some old blog posts and found this one I wrote 9 years ago. Many of my readers today are not long time readers so because it made me giggle a little bit I thought I would re-post it with a few Continue reading →

An Abundance of Katherines

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...
