A proverb from me: A sunny day makes the heart happy. The temperatures climbed today and gave everyone around here a bad case of spring fever. And then to make matters worse, a Gurney’s Seed Catalog arrived in my mailbox. Oh the joys of gardening! I would love to reap the rich rewards of a well… Read more

I’m just here to say that you haven’t experienced Valentine’s Day until you’ve experienced an elementary school classroom on Valentine’s Day. The pink cookies with sprinkles, the Valentine Cards, the vanilla cupcakes with confetti icing, the heart-shaped donuts, the glittered Valentine boxes, the conversation hearts, the high volumed children, the green-sucker stained tongues, the sugar highs, (including me, the… Read more

Last night I attempted cooking, which in and of itself is a feat. I can honestly say, of the things I have been complimented, cooking is not one of them. There are people who are renowned simply for being a good cook. If their name comes up in conversation, people’s eyes roll back in their heads as they… Read more

A couple days ago, my husband shoveled us out of the snow. It was just in the nick of time too. I believe with my all of my being that he was on the verge of having a full on attack of deliriousness as a side effect of the cabin fever he’d developed after being cooped in the house. It’s like we were living in The Shining. We… Read more

One of my posts was freshly pressed on Tuesday, and I was happier than a puppy with two tails. There wasn’t anything that could steal the lollipops and sunshine from my day. I was sliding down rainbows and hugging strangers. I didn’t really understand what it meant to be freshly pressed, and what I did know was due… Read more

My little town got 8.5 inches of snow Tuesday night, and they cancelled school. And as an added bonus, we don’t have to start school until 10:00 this morning. Yippee Skippee!! Snow days don’t come around often, and I try to enjoy them. I spend my day in lazy gear, reading, writing, facebooking, napping. My husband on the… Read more

Put on your snowboots with your sexiest bathrobe. Make a fashion statement. Take an empty bowl and a scooper of some sort, high step through the snow drifts and brave the bitter winds to gather up clean snow. I find it necessary to scrape off the first layer, as you might find some specks from… Read more

My husband J-Dub has a side not many people know. To the outside observer he appears to be a polite, hardworking, rugged, no-nonsense cowboy. But underneath his dirty, black hat lies a light-hearted wit. I had a good day today and decided to text my darling to share my good news. Here’s my text to him. And I received a… Read more

Two phrases I never want uttered in my home again are: We’re out of eggs. That’s the last of the milk. I am remedying the egg situation soon, very soon. And I am strongly considering a goat for the milk cure. Now before you curl up your nose at the mention of goat milk, I… Read more

Yesterday I wrote about an avocado green canister that is banged up, rusted, and just plain ugly, but beautiful despite it’s imperfections. Rather than the reactions I was expecting to receive, several folks said they loved that canister. I’m wondering if this green canister falls under the term Wabi Sabi. That word in itself is just fabulous… Read more
