Where is the summer going? I can’t believe it’s Friday (again). My son’s soccer team had its first meeting last night – practice starts next week. Hello, fall. You are my favorite season, but I’m not ready to meet you just yet. How about we wait a couple of weeks? I still have summery things [...]
I love mornings-after-a-night-of-rain. So quiet, but you just know that everything’s growing ….My Wednesday was a blur of activity. I finally (finally!) ordered my mohair ottoman/cocktail table for the family room. Now, I just wait the 10-12 weeks until it arrives. Easy. I also went to my Pilates lesson (and had more blueberry/ginger water), picked [...]
Our house gets overrun with “stuff”, which ebbs and flows according to my tolerance level. Some days I’ve had enough, and out go the magazines/newspapers/computer printouts/child art project stacks that would be more than happy to take over if I’d let them. Another major offender? Shopping bags; specifically, plastic shopping bags. We live 1 [...]
Our family has a couple of weddings coming up: my brother is getting married in September; one of my sisters follows in December. Throw in an uncle and a cousin who are also tying the knot this fall, and you can quickly see where my weekends are going. (Oh, and speaking of weekends scheduled – [...]
What a weekend! We spent Saturday morning at Planter’s Palette in Winfield, picking up a few perennials to “fill in” where our gardens needed it. And of course, if you’re already driving 45 minutes for plants, what’s another 15 for some awesome fruit salad? So of course, we went there, too. Yesterday we visited Grandma [...]
The weekend is upon us! And I’ve picked up some reading after my Thursday B&N run(see above). Reviews and snippets are sure to follow …. Thanks, R!
This morning, we’re off to the local Farmer’s Market to pick up some berries and veggies (and truth be told, some cookies and muffins as well). It’s a gorgeous [...]
This is a little piece of the sky above our house yesterday. Love the blue with a smattering of clouds to study. It was a perfect weather day: our reward for surviving the 90s. Little things like that make me smile ….. and today promises more of the same. I’m looking forward to running outside, [...]
You know it’s hot/humid when your iced tea looks like the picture above. Remedy? Air-conditioning and a book or magazine. I had lots and lots of time to read last week without my buddy around …. I finished “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” (more on that another day), got caught up on my New Yorker’s, and flipped [...]
