I slept late and we are having a quiet day. This is what I woke up to at 9 a.m.
This was not night time. This was out my front door at 9 am and we don’t have fires to blame.
With the cool nights all summer in Indiana, the marigolds are about the only thing left, [...]

It is miracle Saturday. I don’t usually get online on a Saturday; let alone one that is rainy. So, I thought I would share a bit of my life with you.
When I do get online, one of my favorite blogs is Crazy Aunt Purl. I have secretly been thinking about living in L.A. a lot [...]

It’s so beautiful out today. I love this property, with all the trees waving in the wind and the two fawns that have taken up residence (I think their mom might have died in a car crash). Poor babies are eating all the red tomatoes and yellow roses. They do not like the pink roses. [...]

Summer is officially here, along with the strange urge to pour poisons on your grass and kill things. I suppose that some weed killers are not poisonous. I have heard of pouring boiling water on stuff to get rid of it. I had a joke here about just who you could get rid of but, [...]

Summer is almost here. Tulips and daffodils are blooming and tomato starts, in the bay window, are two inches tall.
This means that I will soon be reminded that I have, yet again, overestimated my youth and energy. I am still weight lifting and doing aerobics, and still stuck at 11 pounds lost, but I do [...]

I am so tired of the snow and winter and having such a time trying to find anything worthwhile to post, that I thought a change of banner was in order. Trusty camera and Irritating little Chihuahua and I went out to capture the newly opened daffodils on film. I do wonder what has happened [...]

It’s getting cold in Indiana and time to clean up the garden. We now have a bag of little hard green tomatoes. Mom tells me to wrap them in newspaper and put them in a cool spot for home grown Thanksgiving tomatoes.
You know those baby watermelons I showed you way back last spring? They [...]

Were you ever in a relationship where you woke up one morning and said, ‘This person is making me old.’?
It’s not that they are actually making you old. Mother Nature does a fine job of that on her own and when your genes add something like heart disease or cancer to the mix, it is [...]

I want to suggest an idea to everyone, and since I like to dream big, to everyone in the world. Okay, if it spread in the US, I would be happy.
I like to garden but have always just planted enough to keep us in tomatoes, hot peppers and green onions. This year I added my [...]

Mine grows with watermelons, tomatoes and marigolds all in a row; in October.
I took my morning walk and photography expedition. Somehow, I just do not think this poor little watermelon will have a chance to grow up.
It’s also raining leaves today. It is very hard to get a picture of the leaves raining against a [...]
