A Good Night Note Dear Reader
We just arrived home from the second night of Mike’s Barbeque Trifecta. It’s late, I’m going to sleep immediately, the “bedroom” windows are open and I am about to drift off to the sound of bull frogs all around me. Life is incredibly good.I hope that you too are able to go to bed listening … Continue reading
Malus Fusca
Evil (malus) and dark (fusca) seems to be a rather glum moniker for this lovely Pacific Northwest native. Commonly known as Pacific Crabapple. Even crabapple seems a poor autograph for such an ambrosial and faithful vernal season intermediary. Always to be counted on to burst into bloom and perfume the air once spring is well … Continue reading
Time Zone Adjustments
I’ve been suffering jet lag. I’ve moved to a time zone four hours earlier. Man is that a hard adjustment. I’d illustrate it with a picture but it’s a face even a two year old off-spring can’t love. (That is, if I had one at the moment). Oh, I haven’t left the Farm on highway … Continue reading
My Daughters Crack Me Up
The other day our youngest Vick Chick, Anna Banana, Peanut Butter, maker of phenomenal pies, bread, dinners and more, all from scratch, was going to make the dinner of her daddy’s fond desire, grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. She does the best grilled cheese of anyone I know, it is an art form. That … Continue reading

I don’t have the patience to read technical manuals so I love that I can support Tia in her budding business and have someone I know well and relate to teach me what I want to know.–This weeks lesson: The stuff I forgot that … Continue reading

Dirt’s Tulips
This isn’t Today’s flower but since I have already done up my post on the Narcissus family I thought I would add the last of that group in that hadn’t bloomed until just a week or so ago. This bed is a mighty wreck and is due for it’s complete overhaul this summer after the … Continue reading
My Contacts Have Glued Up, I Can’t See
Hang on a sec while I pry my contacts off my eyes so I can clean them and get back to reading through the five hundred seventy-seven items on my Google Reader. Yes, I love you Dear Reader. Back in a flash. Relatively speaking of course. Oh and by the way, yes I knew you … Continue reading
The Let Down
We’ve all experienced it I am sure. Walking out of a football stadium, your team won, it was a great game, you screamed your lungs out, but then the let down begins to hit and by the time you’re home you have waves of, “hip hip hooray” mixed with waves of, “quick lets dial back … Continue reading
Help, Help the Weeds Have My Hand! They’re Pulling Me Down Into….
I know, long title. Is there a rule on title length? Somehow I just know Bethel is shaking her head again, as if my poor spelling isn’t bad enough. My title might not be short but I have grown a little short on time. So I’ll leave you with a few of my pictures and … Continue reading
