Monday evening I don’t know what made the difference but I had a lot more energy this afternoon. Maybe it was because I didn’t work at the hospital today. When I come home from work, I’m pretty much tied up in knots and stress can be exhausting. At any rate, I told about my gardening [...]

I’m beginning to see some real growth in the garden. Isn’t spring exciting? Now that we’re moving to the end of the month of May and are close to June, it’s not long until the first day of summer. Just a little over three weeks and it will be here! I’ve already been having cilantro, [...]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That means this post is around 8,000 words… I found a teeny tiny cherry tomato today! The onion patch also contains romaine, arugula, a tater plant my neighbor planted, parsley and cilantro. I think that’s all. I’ve been having arugula and cilantro in my salads and [...]

This week has been so messed up I haven’t even attempted a daily update. I can pretty much remember how the days went because so much of it centers around Twinkle and her many moods. She has been thoroughly traumatized by her recent experiences and I don’t know if she will ever recover. I may [...]

It was edging into July and I had been invited to DS1′s place for the 4th of July. My granddaughter’s birthday is on the 3rd so I went down on the 4th Eve so I could be there for her special celebration—the annual fireworks display at the university. On the way, the odometer in my [...]
