Dagwood and Daisy

This is Dagwood and Daisy playing. While we were visiting, they would play three or four times a day. They were so much fun to watch. Daisy is the one making most of the noise and is the smaller of the two.

Dee’s Lime Tree

A year ago, Dee said we needed a lime tree. Steve walked into Wal-Mart and there sat a lime tree. It was as if it was meant for us to have the tree. I looked up on the internet to learn more about them. It said that lime tree produce from November to March. It […]

Sedum Fetthenne & Butterfly

During the summer I thinned out the sedum fetthenne around the tree and placed it around the fountain. They grew nicely and on this fall day attracted a butterfly. It ate for a very long time.

Harvesting Grapes

We had heard a lot about Holy-Field Winery but had never been there even though it is located in South Leavenworth County, only 15 minutes from our house. Dee, our neighbor, has been there many times and has picked grapes for several years. This is such a popular activity that we had to sign up […]

Murder Among Friends

“Murder Among Friends” begins with a clap of thunder that the audience nearly jumping out of our seats. It was very loud and Morgan Fairchild was on the stage as the lights came up. It is very unusual for New Theatre for the “star” to show up on stage so soon. Morgan Fairchild was perfectly […]

First Country Music Concert

So I didn’t know who The Zac Brown Band was, until Chris and Holan were going to their concert. Then one night at the Wine Barn, Holan mentioned it to the group. Dee was totally into going but didn’t want to intrude into Chris and Holan’s concert outing. Besides, they had bought their tickets for […]

“THE PRESIDENT’S OWN” UNITED STATES MARINE BAND

We were excited when Katy gave us free tickets to go to Helzberg/Kauffman Center for the “President’s Own” The United States Marine Band. First off, we had never been to the Kauffman Center where the Kansas City Symphony performs. Second, it is special to see the Marine Band play since the performances are rare in […]

Anton’s Taproom (Bar)

Tonight we had dinner at Anton’s, a new place for us.  Anton’s is a taproom, restaurant and butcher shop in the heart of Kansas City’s Crossroads district. Dee and I had the smoked salmon sandwich dressed with herb cream cheese, pickles, lettuce and red onions with a side of slaw. Steve and Holan had the […]

Lazy Dogs

The dogs were lazy today all sleeping on the couch. Pebbles decided to get up when the camera came out.

Hummingbird or Wasp Feeder?

The Hummingbird feeder in the front yard has been there since Spring and has recently started attracting hummingbirds. The little birds would come to the water fountain next to it but they would not eat from the feeder. I don’t know what had changed but then we noticed wasp were also feeding. these are pictures […]
