Last Friday and Saturday a builder had all the trees on a vacant lot near my house taken down in preparation for starting a new build. While I understand that it’s his prerogative to do what he wants on his property, and certainly none of my business, I couldn’t help but cringe as I listened […]

Today on the blog Slim Randles has a cute story about Doc and his grandson and cars, but first just a moment with this lovely flower I saw outside my doctor’s office the other day. It’s some type of lily, but I’m not sure what the exact name is. I’d been told that a similar
Last Friday I felt good enough to go out in the back and putter a bit with my flowers. On my way to the side faucet to get some water, I noticed these little beauties growing along the fence. Thinking about a mushroom and whether it could be a flower, I decided to do some

So, the best laid plans and all that. My Sunday was supposed to go like this: A quick trip to the grocery store early enough in the morning to avoid lots of shoppers, then home to do just a little bit of cleaning, then work all afternoon on the quilt I’m making. Well, it’s now
A little bird like this has built a nest in one of my large potted plants on the front porch. When I’m in my office, supposed to be working, I can see her out and go in search of sustenance. I haven’t dared disturb her when I’m out, so I don’t know if there are
First off, some Monday fun. My son-in-law came over this past Saturday to help me with a few chores and hung some pictures in my office. One of my sisters made this for me for Christmas, and Matt thought the positioning on the wall suited a picture made by my goofy sister. Silliness runs in
