February??!!?? When did it get to be February!!?? ~~ My azalea is blooming again. This little plant was a gift sent to Jack while he was in the hospital more than 10 years ago. It was from a distant business associate and the relationship wasn’t all that cordial so it made the gift all the [...]

Have you ever noticed
Posted in Life on Jan 17th, 2011
That you always have one less tissue in your pocket than you need when you take a walk in the winter? That you spend the last half-mile sniffling and hoping you don’t meet anybody you know? If the wind is cold enough you start to consider alternatives like your coat sleeve or handknit mittens. Kids [...]
Nothing to see here
Posted in Life, Ten on Tuesday on Jan 9th, 2011
So it’s Sunday morning and the house is still sleeping, my favorite time of the day. I have the heater going under the desk, a cup of coffee on the warming plate and no place I have to be this morning. We got a dusting of snow last night so while it’s gloomy and overcast [...]
St. Nick’s Day
Posted in Life on Dec 24th, 2010
And it’s here. After all the hustle and bustle, the shopping and wrapping and shipping, it’s Christmas Eve and my schedule is free. For the weekend we have the time to relax and enjoy ourselves. There are a few presents to open and fondue to prepare for dinner but otherwise we’re not making plans beyond [...]
It’s over already?
Posted in Family on Nov 28th, 2010
Since it’s almost December (!), the burning bushes are nearly denuded but they were glorious this year. So that week went by in a blur. We had fun with the kids and grandkids although we didn’t have great plans beyond the puppet show last Sunday. The rest of the time was taken up by walks, [...]
Last night I had a whole evening free which doesn’t seem to happen much lately. We went out for a quick dinner as soon as I got home so the whole cook-and-clean-up thing didn’t consume half the evening. I could have spun for an hour, started a new lace project, paid bills and still had [...]

Draw me a picture
Posted in Life on Aug 17th, 2010
No Ten on Tuesday today. Um, wow, I guess the combination of mud and young guys hit a chord with a bunch of us so I went searching for the photos I took last year on the premise of giving your audience what they want. And of course, all I could find was this: Apparently, [...]
That’s how many of the registered voters in our precinct showed up to vote yesterday. It was a primary for both major parties with some contested races, but none where the outcome was really in question. And then we had Proposition C which would invalidate the federal requirement that most people purchase health insurance or [...]
Brain chatter — the June edition
Posted in Life on Jun 30th, 2010
Just barely still June, but it counts. Holy moley the year is half gone. ~ Now that the veggie garden is planted and it’s mostly maintenance chores, I’ve spent the last week pulling weeds and spreading mulch in the flower garden around the house. I ran out of mulch before I ran out of garden. [...]
