This month I have a lovely blue coffee cup. The picture doesn’t show it very well but it’s a deeper blue on the bottom and shades to a very pale blue at the top. It also has sea shells and rope and is a bit nautical. I figure if I can’t get to a beach […]
For some reason this has been a bad week for me — migraines, bad fibro days, and let us not forget the poison ivy. Luckily, the poison ivy (cross every set of fingers within ten miles) looks like it’s not going to go systemic on me this time. My right arm has pretty much cleared […]
Last weekend, we worked on getting that rest of the gardening done. Sunday, we got a lot done and then started to weed out around the fruit orchard. Last year we didn’t do much in that area and it has gotten rather overgrown with weeds and baby trees and stuff. I’m highly allergic to poison […]
Today I was reading Amazon Daily and found a link to an article by Luc Sante, “The Book Collection That Devoured My Life” in the Wall Street Journal. I read through the article and I laughed and I commiserated and I thought, “Here is a kindred spirit.” Here’s two quotes that give a flavor of […]

Yesterday it was 107 with the heat index. Today it was even warmer. We walked down to the mail box to get the paper (1/4 mile). Then worked in the garden for about 20 minutes which was as long as we could take. Paul got the yard prepped for mowing–lots of branches and twigs came […]
Today was hot — 98 degrees (107 with heat index). Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter. But this evening it was another thunder, lightning, and rain storm. I’m hoping if dries off so we can get some yard work done tomorrow. We were supposed to run errands today but it took 6 hours at the […]
