Working from Home: Week 29
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
Celebrating Life
If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate. ~ Sandy Dahl This week's Friday Celebrate Life post has a bit more of a somber tone than normal.

On Saturday, I discovered one of the rhubarb…Read more The First Rhubarb
Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest. ~ Henry David Thoreau Remember when the smallest things would make our day as a child? Like getting a sticker on homework. Okay, sure I'm old enough when most of my school work was done on paper, and we had scratch-n-sniff stickers. Maybe it was chasing…Read more Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
