I know that “necessity” is actually the mother of invention but in this case it’s really more like persistence. Really, it was persistence that made it necessary for me to invent. So maybe both. Invention has two moms. That’s so current! And guess I didn’t really invent anything. I just came up with a good [...]

Sometimes when I read blogs I get a little over whelmed. You know, just every once in a while. I mean, sometimes it seems like everyone else is so much more on top of things than I am. The picture that most blogs/bloggers present is such a pretty one. Everything is so organized and ahead of [...]

So. If I had taken my camera (phone) or even my “real” camera down to the beach with me this morning I would have taken a picture and shared it with you. As it was, I had no camera and had to record the image with my mind. Remember? When that was generally the way [...]

Today has been the kind of day that gets me all tied up in knots. It frustrates me – that is a whopping understatement – to have to do something twice. And that has already happened more than once today. I had already planned to write about making chamomile tea today – and as the [...]

See? Last week when I did the Pinspired and Produced feature and said it was #9, none of you noticed that it was really supposed to be #10. And honestly? One of us should really be paying attention. Maybe you did notice and you were too polite to say anything. I’ll try to keep track [...]

Seriously. I spent a bunch of time out in the garden this week and I was thinking about how tenacious the weeds are. We work and work and worry and bend ourselves over backwards to keep the flowers and the vegetable plants alive (often with mixed results), all the while we are fighting and toiling [...]

When I started my vegetable garden I was initially very excited and then very frustrated. The excitement came from the vision in my mind of how I wanted the garden to look and all that I wanted it to be. The frustration came because I very quickly realized that I was facing a mountain of [...]
