A river cuts through a rock not because of it's power, but it's persistence. Another week has gone by. I'm not going to sugar coat it. This has been a hard week and at time rather soul crushing. The smoky conditions are still here and haven't cleared as predicted on Monday. Our next chance of…Read more Working from Home: Week 29

Working from Home: Week 28
Be kind to one another. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. The heat has returned along with forest fires. Smoky haze is not my favorite thing to wake up with. Whenever there is ash in the air, I always feel like the earth is in mourning. Maybe it is? Humans…Read more Working from Home: Week 28

The First Rhubarb
More grows in the garden than the gardener sows. We had some excitement over the weekend. During my morning routine while my first cuppa is steeping, I check out how the container garden is doing overnight. Some mornings I also get to greet our new deck frog. On Saturday, I discovered one of the rhubarb…Read more The First Rhubarb

Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path... Another week has passed. It's the last full week of August.

Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Where has the past two weeks gone? I'm blaming the heat and the day job on lost time. Although, the heat has been fantastic for the sunflowers. We're down to the last three or four that haven't bloomed yet. Even our experiment from bird seed opened up.…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Working from Home: Week 23
Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning. ~ Winston Churchill The past week, I've seen about a dozen deer roam through our back yard and neighborhood. Mostly have been doe, but we did spot two bucks. We also saw an amazing rust colored bobcat. I now considered it a bad day if I didn't…Read more Working from Home: Week 23
Book Challenge: The Travelling Cat Chronicles
"I knew he was searching hard for a new owner for me, but that as each attempt came to nothing, he felt hugely relieved to be taking me home again." ~ The Travelling Cat Chronicles It's been awhile since I've posted a book review. I've been reading, but I've been remise in posting book reviews…Read more Book Challenge: The Travelling Cat Chronicles
Working from Home: Week 21 and 22
Everyone has his day, and some days last longer than others. ~ Winston Churchill I missed a wfh post last week. Between the summer heat and my allergies, my creative juices weren't quite up to par last week. The past two weeks, I've bought another tank of gas and had an oil change. In 2019,…Read more Working from Home: Week 21 and 22
Celebrating Life with Sunflowers
We think there is endless time to live but we never know which moment is last. So share, care, love, and celebrate every moment of life. It's been awhile since I've done a celebrate life post. I thought it was time to bring it back. In many states the virus is rapidly spreading and hospitals…Read more Celebrating Life with Sunflowers
