A little while ago I wrote about needing to find a watering solution for my raised gardens. Would it be a soaker hose? Would it be a portable sprinkler? Would it be a drip system? I’ve used all of them over the years. Each has their pros and cons. Each also has a different level… Continue reading Which End Is It?

Although I did start seeds indoors about six weeks ago, the growing season officially began today. This year I had purchased a couple of grow lights. Those, along with seed heating pads I had purchased last year, really gave the seeds a good start. The plants were in much better shape and size than last… Continue reading Growing Season 2022 Officially Began

Hate! Or I would say actually fear, is the larger pandemic we are facing, and it seems to be growing ever larger. When a 17-year-old takes a gun across state lines to a peaceful protest and kills someone. When an 18-year-old takes a gun into a grocery store and kills black elders. When a 21-year-old… Continue reading A Larger Pandemic

For the first time this season, I had a moment on the patio. Actually, two moments. The weather the past two days has been absolutely gorgeous. Not too windy, not too hot. It was even shorts weather today while mowing the grass. Yesterday, the husband and I sat for a chat just before dinner. Our… Continue reading Patio Time 2022

I live on a very nice cul-de-sac where we all get along well, and trade baked goods. If I have extra, I share. If they have extra, they share. It has been very nice to get new things I might not have tried otherwise. Thankfully, my neighbors don’t seem to mind being taste testers when… Continue reading One Batter, Three Ways

My dear friend Lisa was in town this evening. She is traveling through on her way to visit family. It has been over a year since we were last able to spend time together due to Covid and distance. I picked her up at her hotel and was greeted with a big hug! She looked… Continue reading An Evening of Rejuvenation

Sunday was a spectacular day. My youngest became a world champion as a musician with a record score of 99.175 (corrected score) with their band group. The screams that erupted by the students was equally matched by the parents. It was so loud we actually only heard the 99, had to get the final score… Continue reading Attraction and Identity

Last week I decided to spend the long weekend in Ohio. Several family members had recent surgery’s of various types. I wanted to check in on everyone, and to say hello to other family and friends. It started on Thursday evenings and carried through into Sunday evening. All are doing well, thankfully. It was good… Continue reading A Little Me Time

Sorry as there will be no post today due to some major work projects.

As a nation of wanderers, to some degree, we move from state to state, city to city, and house to house. In the moves, we often leave things behind that have little sentimental value or just won’t fit. When we get into the new place, in opening boxes, most of have a moment of wondering,… Continue reading From a House to a Home
