Week 128! Oh, yesterday, Nigel and I got our flu shots. I am one of those people who are knocked out the next day after a flu shot. And, sure enough, this year was no different. Actually, last night was pretty miserable as I just couldn’t get comfortable. When I was a kid, Mom would …
There are some bloggers I follow that I’ve come to regard as friends in a sort of superficial, but not really, way. One of them is Lydia at Where the Wild Things Are. She wrote a post about kindness, and it really resonated with me. We are so often our own worst enemy. I think …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and …
We have had frost the last few nights. I have an upright jumbo elephant ear in a large pot in front of the garage. I’m trying to decide exactly what I’m going to do with it. I think I’ll just wheel it into the garage and cover it with a sheet. I also have three …
Week 127! Would you believe we’ve not only had frost, but we’ve turned on the furnace? And, last week, we had temps in the 80s (26.7C)! Anyway, I’m pretty sure Fall is here to stay. I’ve gotten rid of several plants and am covering up others I need to figure out where they’ll spend the …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for that piece. Shelbee is this week’s curator …
Week 126! The weather here in Central Indiana appears to have changed to real Fall rather than False Fall. The leaves are finally beginning to turn, and the plants are saying goodbye. I’m ready to be done with plants and have gotten rid of several already. Sue has decided to step away from the Weekend …
Life lately… Where in the world did October go? It’s my favorite month, and we are already at the third Thursday of the month? How can that be? I just celebrated a birthday and heard from all of my people. I love hearing from all of them on the same day! Nigel is still struggling …

Week 125! We had False Fall a few weeks ago, but I think true Fall may be close! I need to start cleaning up the backyard and getting plants ready for the winter. I have already decided what flowers I’m not planting next year! Looking at you, begonias of any kind! Anyway, welcome to the …
