I was intrigued by this painting, and that was before I read about the artist! He was definitely a character. Unfortunately, he chose alcohol and brawling one time too many. If you want to read the post with all the info and more information about my look, you can find it here. The interpretations for …

Welcome to the April preview of 10 on the 10th! Doesn’t it seem like we just celebrated Valentine’s Day, and now Easter is over? I guess that’s just the nature of things, right? Last year, we talked about diamonds, and as much as I’d love to do that again, we won’t. I think it’s time …
Week 150! How is it in your part of the world? My creeping phlox are beginning to bloom. Somehow or other, I planted three different colors in the same place. Luckily, I like purple so it’s OK. The grass is getting so green. My bonus son mowed it for us this past weekend. Of course, …

Mother Nature just doesn’t like Indiana right now. That’s the only conclusion I can draw. My hyacinths were coming up so nicely, and then she hit us with snow and freezing temperatures. Now, I’ve had snowy hyacinths before, and they’ve survived. This time, nope, no way! My poor hyacinths are all drooped over and just …
Week 149! Life goes on here at Haus der Mitte. I’ve become quite adept at administering Nigel’s antibiotics. He’s gotten really good at transferring from the chair to the wheelchair, the wheelchair to the toilet, the toilet to the wheelchair. The hardest part for him is getting in and out of bed because he can’t …
