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 …
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 …
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 …
Week 124! I am so sorry for not getting this out on Thursday. I was just feeling a little overwhelmed and decided something had to give. That just happened to be the blog. I did start a new series on my Instagram about my closet. I know some of you are curious about it so …
Week 123! Last week, I mentioned I was going to be presenting at my church’s retreat. It went so well. It was wonderful seeing women connecting on such a deep level and creating the beginnings of new friendships. This past week has been a good one, too. I had VTS practice, and Nigel had P/T. …
Week 122! I am going to begin with an apology. I have just plum run out of time. I am leaving tomorrow morning at 9:00 am (I know, the crack of dawn for someone like me) for a weekend retreat. This year, I am the sole presenter for the actual content. Usually, we split that …
Week 121! I got a facial today, and it was wonderful. Well, they always are, but I learned my aesthetician is leaving to stay home with her little one. We have really bonded over the years so I wish her only the best. I will get to see her one more time in a couple …
Week 121! I heard our area of Indiana only got 1.6 inches of rain in August so I was really excited when it stormed here on Wednesday night. It sounded like there was a lot of rain coming down, but the rain gauge only read 0.1 inch. I think there may have been some evaporation, …
Week 120! My fingers and hands quickly healed from the attack of the rose bush last week. I may have gone overboard in cutting away the dead stuff because it looks a little lopsided. It just insists on growing taller and taller instead of out. When I dead head that particular bush, I try to …
Week 119! I’m writing this with fingers and hands that have been viciously attacked! I have little wounds all over. Jack, you say? No. Nigel wielding his cane like a sword? Double no! I had some dead branches in one of my rose bushes and was cutting them out of it. I didn’t feel anything …
