Where Will I Go when I Die?

Date May 31, 2009

No, I don’t mean heaven or hell. When it comes to that subject, I believe what the Bible teaches in multiple texts sprinkled throughout. I will sleep the deepest sleep ever known to man or woman until Jesus comes. What I mean is, will I be put in a grave or will I go where [...]

My Week in Review

Date May 30, 2009

Sunday It was rainy and messy off and on all day. There was no way I could get out and get some sun. I did check on the garden and the earthworms. The sun would peek through the clouds but before I could do anything about it, the clouds would close up and the sun [...]

Square Foot Garden: Urine or Mine?

Date May 28, 2009

I will go to any lengths (within reason) to have good results with my Square Foot Garden this year. Last year, it was too much in the shade plus I don’t think it was an excellent mix, either. With my neighbors’ help, I believe this will be much better. Sometimes it needs a little more, [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part LXXIII, Neighbors

Date May 26, 2009

The folks’ house had stood empty for some time and it seemed so strange not to have them there. Then the daycare that was created to support the school lost its director and the church started casting about for a new one. A young woman and her family were moving to the area and she [...]

Looking Back

Date May 23, 2009

Sunday I got up earlier than usual for a weekend day. I had places to go and people to see. It was dreary and rainy and I got a later start than I wanted to (of course). My sister and I talked about my getting a couple of quarts of strawberries as I went through [...]

Square Foot Garden Visited and the Harvest Has Begun

Date May 21, 2009

I can’t say “revisited” because this was the first visit. I’ve had my romaine munched so I sprinkled bone meal, blood meal and scattered enough moth balls to keep the surrounding area free of moths for a year. That didn’t seem to deter the latest invader, though. To make it short, I’ll let the pictures [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part LXXII, Mem’ries

Date May 19, 2009

When BF and I first started “liking” each other, we were going to a very conservative school where boys and girls weren’t supposed to ever be alone together. The faculty had relented and let the opposite sexes sit at the same table at meals but that was only with proper supervision. That didn’t mean it [...]

Life on the Edge

Date May 16, 2009

That’s what my sisters say so here we go with another week. Sunday Happy Mother’s Day! My middle child is the only one who didn’t check in with Mom today. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional. He gets into mowing the lawn and generally working outside and the time slips by. The first to call was [...]

Yet Another Square Foot Garden Update

Date May 14, 2009

It was Mother’s Day and I was in for a real treat. I didn’t know it when I got up. Several months ago, I’d emailed my neighbor and said I wanted to hire her to build me some more Square Foot boxes. When she got home from her extended construction job, she told me she’d [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part LXXI, Changes

Date May 12, 2009

The parking lot was slick as owl grease so there was no way I was going to try to drive back to the building. Getting out and walking wasn’t an option, either. My ride had already left and the owner must’ve been busy inside. I didn’t know what to do but assume a prayerful attitude [...]
