Let there be SUN!!!

And there was sun…so much was waiting for sun!  I finally got a coat of Kilz on the reconstructed window casings at the front of our house.  Next comes the stain and we are done with those windows…on to the next… Son and his girl are here…they made the long drive from VT to catch […]

4th of July…

Leave a Comment

For some reason, this year’s 4th of July seems a bit odd…July 4th is a Saturday in the midst of what has been a very rainy and overcast spring and early summer…today, the sun and clouds have been battling and we’ve enjoyed a nice breeze.  We took advantage of early sun and worked outside until […]

Life without color…

Here in New England, we have had a spring that has been largely gloomy, dark, foggy, rainy andgray.  H owever, in those moments of sun and light that we have enjoyed were all the gorgeous colors of spring…green, green grass (which always needs to be mowed because we have to wait until it stops raining to […]

My three dads…

I have been blessed with three wonderful dads.  Michael is technically my step-dad, but in reality he is a good friend and a great dad.  Joe Henderson is my father-in-law…I have loved that man since the day we met.  Last, but by no means least, is my dad, Al Pallas.  As I am the oldest […]

Golf…

My husband plays golf.  He grew up playing with his parents on incredible courses in exotic world locales (my beloved f-i-l was with the State Department and my husband and his brother lived in Brazil and Mexico and London, with home stays in VA in between, plus my beloved m-i-l is Australian, a WWII war-bride).  […]

More bits…

Rain, gloom, humidity…days at a time…the weeds are starting to outpace the beets and onions…but it is too wet to even weed much.  The good side is that everything is bright green and lush. The baby herons are growing up.  A while back, I wrote about the three huge heron nests that fill each spring […]

Rainy little bits…

It has been a gloomy, dank and sprinkly last few days, but today it is pouring!!!  The gardens, the lawn, the new pear tree…they are all drinking in the liquid gloriousness.  The down side is that the veggie garden is looking totally weed-choked…I guess that’s where I will be spending what non-rainy moments there may […]

So much to do…

Leave a Comment

I find Spring absolutely exhausting.  There is always more to do than there is time in which to do it. Spring in community theater is finishing up the current season and preparing for the next season.  It is “out with the old” and “find a place for the new”.  It is recruiting new members, applauding […]

Soggy day…

1 Comment

Today is one of those rainy New England days that is so welcome.  We have planted the veggie garden and it is drinking in the rain…I can almost see the plants growing as I watch.  We moved all my huge pots of herbs outside and they are enjoying the moderate temperatures and the rain bath […]

Ahhhh….
