Friday before a long weekend…need I say more?

I know I have babbled on before about my gorgeous daily commute to and from work.  I ramble through bucolic old New England towns…farms and homes and pastures all the way.  One of my little superstitions is that if I see the cows or the horses or other animals in any of the fields I […]

It has been almost a month since my last post and for that I am humbly penitent.  Around this time each year, it is if my brain gets overloaded and decides to go walkabout.  I’m hoping it comes home soon. We finally got the vegetable garden tilled and mostly planted…I’m still looking for two red […]

I have mixed feelings about Patriots’ (a/k/a Patriot’s or Patriots) Day.  Those who live in Massachusetts, Maine and, of all things, Wisconsin, know that it commemorates the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War (Paul Revere made his wild midnight ride April 18/19).  But for New […]

I love Fridays because I love weekends.  And, sure as shootin’, one follows the other. It is getting lighter again and that makes me happy.  More sunlight seems to bring out the gardening-hunger in me…I’m already looking forward to cleaning out all my garden beds after winter, trimming the grape and raspberry vines.  But that […]

OK, this is a public therapy post, so if you aren’t into that kind of thing, don’t read further. My daughter pointed out to me yesterday that my blogs and posts have been generally a bit “down” lately.  This gave me one of those ah-ha! moments…I am feeling very out of sorts these days.  While […]

Real estate sales are starting to pick up in our neck of the woods.  With interest rates dropping to recent lows, lots of folks are refinancing, which can be pretty smart, depending on what type of loan you are refinancing.  Lots of people who want/need to sell are starting to see action.  And there are […]

Because I am hypo-thyroid (have been diagnosed and on meds for 29 years), I see my doctor regularly…blood tests, mammograms, all those things that “they” want you to do regularly…I had my repeat colonoscopy a few months ago and for the next couple of months, received a slew of bills from all those associated with […]

I am addicted to the internet.  I don’t feel any better, saying it aloud, but it is one more step along my road to accepting myself AS I AM. This morning, after brewing my one-cup, I checked my email, my Facebook, my Twitter, my Google Reader, my Blackberry, my NYTimes.com morning news, my GrowingBolder.com, my […]

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dearest daughter, Happy birthday to you. And many more…
