What I Do When I Have a STUPID Day. . .

what else, instead of hiding under the covers and praying for a quick end to the day, but to go for a walk in the woods! And that’s just what I did. After a stupid day at work. Stupid stupid stupid. Stupid. Stupid. There, now on to my walk. [...]

This Week in Bloom

Well, now wouldn’t you know I forgot my camera when I went to my Mom’s house this week – but, never fear I did capture photos. But, they’re sitting on her computer. So I’ll get them next time I go there and post them for you. For now, here’s a couple of [...]

A 65,000 Acre Backyard

What does one do with a 65,000 acre backyard? Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Mon@rch (Tom) and experiencing first-hand some of what he does in his *huge* backyard! We hiked to many very interesting places. First we went to an old growth forest, where he taught me [...]

I love watching this show, but I never dreamed I would be in it [...]

Yesterday for Mother’s Day my Mum wanted to work outside in her gardens – no problem! Anything to be outside. I took photos of this week’s flowers in blossom from her gardens for you to enjoy this week. Well, some have been around, I just didn’t get to them last week. [...]
