I've lost something – again. It doesn't matter what the item is. The problem has interchangeable missing objects. When I don't immediately put something in its designated place, it gets stuck in the Twilight Zone. My mantra is, "I'll get back to that later." For the moment, I think the temporary holding spot makes sense, … Continue reading Lost

SIX ON SATURDAY: In the Details
Today’s blog is a quick one. I’ve grouped six photos of pinks and purples growing now in my garden beds and planters. When you look at the big picture of our yard, you see lots of green.

Ch Ch Changes (apologies to David Bowie)
They say, “The only sure things in life are death and taxes.” I have to add one more: change. That’s so huge, and I don’t know how “they” missed it.

This is as good as it gets here, so I’m taking advantage by staying outside as much as possible. I’ve worked a little, sat a lot, and thanked the Lord … Continue reading Six on Saturday: Almost Too Perfect
Six On Saturday: Sweet May
There are several sources of sweetness in the air right now. I love the scent of all of these, but their pollen can trigger allergies too. There's always a catch, isn't there? The top photo is honeysuckle, growing along the roadsides everywhere. The migrating hummingbirds have been enjoying its nectar for a couple of weeks. … Continue reading Six On Saturday: Sweet May
