Today, I posted on Medium.com. I have finally met the threshold for being paid as a writer on that platform. Therefore, for now, at least, I will be cross-posting between my WordPress blog and Medium page. https://carollabuzzetta.medium.com/the-best-way-to-start-your-day-not-1b6c769304d0 Thank you!

Foodie Monday: Favorite Flavor and a Few Changes for August
It’s August 1st! How the heck did that happen? It’s been a busy six months! In February we decided to put our home of 16 years up for sale but wait until spring to do it. In the meantime, we started cleaning out. When we met with realtors, we decided on listing the first week…
Poetry Friday: New Books While I Wait for the Fog to Clear
I’ve been trying to keep up on my reading since we moved. I’m on my third novel for the month and enjoy sitting on the deck facing the lake reading a few pages during the day, as well as at night before bed. The first two books I read were borrowed from the local library….
Brief Update on Links & Life
Yesterday, I linked my Medium.com post on my blog here. I wrote the post on Medium and left a link here. Overnight, it went viral and is still accumulating views and has been read almost 1,000 times. It’s too bad that I’m not already behind the paywall on that platform! If you’d like to read…
Monarch Update: Leaves Uneaten
I chose to publish my blog on Medium.com today. You can find it here (click the word, here.) I hope you click and read it. It tells a lot about who I am, what I care about, and how I’ve gone about working to preserve a species loved by many. As a preview: here are…

They recently rescued a dog who is tiny compared to Molly, a mix of Lhasa Apso, Australian Shephard, Shitzu, Terrier, and Chihuahua according…
Foodie Monday: Buffalo Eats
We were in Western New York two weeks ago for a quick visit to see my parents. On the way in we always stop in Hamburg, a suburb of Buffalo on Lake Erie to stay at my sister-in-law’s condo. We were there only for a couple of days and went out to dinner one night….

Price Shockers!!!
Inflation hits everyone, no matter your socioeconomic class. And, while some might still be able to afford absorbant prices, it might be wiser to pass. Last week’s price shock was $1.00 an ear for corn. Nope, didn’t buy any. This week’s shocker is is $7.04 for six hershey bars. Nope, didn’t buy that either. A…
Poetry Friday: Enjoying Dusk at the Lake
On two consecutive nights this week, I sat on our dock at dusk and watched the loons gather. It was an interesting time, one full of serenity and calmness, as well as appreciation for this bird I’ve come to enjoy. Both nights, seemingly, held a routine. Three loons were gathered in the middle of our…
