I wish I could bloggily share a gorgeous fragrance or the feeling of warm sunshine (finally!) on the top of my head. Spring is absolutely the best way to come out of a long and dreary and COLD winter. These crabapples are in my front yard. My neighbor has a gorgeous old-fashioned lilac that is […]
Megan had an orthodontist appointment today, and I’m sure glad she has her driver’s license so she can drive herself there, even though it still makes me nervous. I like that television commercial for car insurance, where the dad looks over at his teenage daughter behind the wheel and sees her as a toddler. In […]
The Library Board…that mysterious group of people who meet in the evening once a month and decide our fate. My boss’s bosses. When they want to talk to you, you say “I’ll be there.” Really, it’s not so bad. This is not New York or Chicago, nor is it a multi-national corporation where the Board […]
Tonight I went to a concert! The first one in ages, and high school band concerts do not count, even though they are wonderful. This one was very good, too, and I had a great time. The concert was a fund-raiser for the hospital, sponsored by the Rotary Club. It was David’s idea to get […]
Sitting here watching old reruns of The Newhart Show. I do remember this show from prime time, and it was a hoot. It still is. It looks so much like real life, but it’s exaggerated and condensed to keep you laughing. If people really behaved this way in real life, it would be enough to […]
Here’s a shot of my buddy Jake from a few days ago, pausing briefly from cleaning out the birdfeeder to stare me down. Spring is coming! Not much snow left, it was a nice enough day to walk through the garden and see what’s going to be blooming in a few weeks. Here’s what we […]
Even though I spent most of yesterday snuffling back tears, I managed to have an enjoyable time with my sister and family when we took her out to eat for her birthday. She is living with her boyfriend now, however unofficially, so we don’t see her much these days. She’ll be back after Easter, though, […]
I grabbed this shot of a snow bunting taking charge of the bird feeder by putting one little foot on each sock. It’s a good reminder to me to not hold back, but to own the things you dream about, move forward, and just go for it. I had to shoot through the screen so I […]
I have a day off tomorrow. I can’t wait to get back to the business of getting the house cleaned up…one, cleaning out the basement storage room, two, moving my daughter’s bedroom to that space, and three, creating a craft room for myself in her old bedroom. It’s so much easier to want to work […]
