At the end of my Seattle area stay, I grabbed a day and night to catch up with my best friend and college theater rival (she got all the parts!)…I dropped my rental at the airport, she whisked me away in her mighty Hyundai and carried me off for a day of amazing indulgence. We started […]
She’s baaack…
The party’s over and day-to-day life begins again. What a wonderful, unplugged vacation I just celebrated. I just spent a week outside of Seattle, helping put on a wedding! I can’t even begin to share all that went on…my cousin lives on a farm with cows, sheep, a goat, compost-eating chickens (including the ugliest bird […]
Right place at the right time…
I think I’ve mentioned before that the outside of our house looks like a construction site right now…well, I guess it IS a construction site. Three wonderful guys are swarming up and down the sides of the house, replacing rotted pieces with pristine, in the sweltering, pouring sweat heat. The hus got out of their […]
Another weekend gone…
We had another “missing cat” crisis this weekend. We decided when we moved into this house out in the semi-country that we would take our chances and let our cats transition from indoors only cats to in and out cats..we installed a cat door and the cats were free to come and go. The result […]
“The hurrier I go, the behinder I get”…
What a week…the wonderful hus finished the first coat of paint of the kitchen…looks GREAT, but we’re going to go ahead and put the second coat on just because. Methinks this will be a weekend project finished while watching/listening to soccer. Speaking of projects, what started out as replacing some dilapidated wood trim on our […]
Heron update…
My heron nests are providing me with lots of eye-catching activity these days. I’ve seen herons standing on the branches near the nest, standing IN the nest, heron heads peeping over the edge of the nests…looks like heron heaven right now. Again, there’s nowhere to park to take photos, so here’s a photographic representation of […]
Progress report…
Laundry folded…check… New Zealand upsets Italy with draw…CHECK… Lawn mowed…check… Grocery shopping…check… Nap time? Kitty says YES!<G>
The more things change…
Back when my kids were little, I would have been feeling very “poor poor pitiful me” that my husband and son were out playing yesterday and today, leaving me behind to paint, fold laundry, grocery shop and more. Now that my kids are grown and gone, I rejoice in the fact that my son and […]
The boy is home…
Got home from work yesterday and started to get the guest suite under control…the geraniums and some of my herbs occupy the guest suite in the winter and I never got around to cleaning after they left for their summer homes. We swept up the dead leaves and dust bunnies, put fresh sheets on the bed, […]
How does our garden grow…
