Just a thought…

I’ve been feeling so crappy the last few days– can barely get out of my own way let alone think about anything coherently. It’s been a real challenge. Tonight I think I figured it out. The oncologist said I could stop taking the medication I was on after I finished the last dose. That was […]

Spent most of today — outside in the garden…

Today, we spent most of our day outside doing yard work. We’ll it seemed like all day but was only about 3 hours. We’d done housework first. But anyway we managed to do: finished weeding the strawberry patch planted 22 new strawberry plants pulled all the creeping jenny in the yard (before it goes to […]

Of cabbages and Kings…

Well, not really cabbages and kings, but close enough.  First a whine: today is day 2 of a migraine — I’m done now, but my head seems not to care.  Anyway, it has been awhile since I posted and I thought I should catch up a bit.  First, we’ve been pushing back on the leaf […]

A Curious Statistical Anomaly is One Lovely Blog

I was thrilled when Velvet of vvb32 reads told me she was naming A Curious Statistical Anomaly as One Lovely Blog. While I put a lot of thought and effort into this blog, I don’t often get a lot of feedback and it was nice to know someone (other than family) thought is was worth […]

Spring has sprung…

“It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” – Mark Twain. I love that quote and it really speaks to the […]
