When I look back at this month, I don’t feel like I accomplished much of anything. But, I did get almost all of my plants planted. Do you ever buy flowers and plant most of them right away, then run out of steam? That’s me. I have a few left to plant, and there’s even …
What a month this has been! I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about the eclipse, but I was just bowled over by it. I doubt I’ll see another, but here’s to hoping I do! The weather is sunny, and I’m ready to get some ferns for the back porch. I still haven’t decided what to …
Spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere! But, I don’t think Mother Nature got the memo! The days are sunny but cool. I’ll take it as I am completely over the cold weather! Anyway, welcome to the last Monday in March and another edition of Songful Style! Suzy and Shelbee decided to riff (see what …
I have been taking naps! We got a new TV for the third bedroom. I turn on the electric blanket, crawl inside the cozy bed, turn the TV onto a baking show, and sleep! I guess I’ve only done it two days, but it’s a little out of the ordinary for me. I need to …
As I write this, would you believe it is about 60 degrees (15.6C) warmer than it was last week? We had an Arctic freeze, polar vortex, whatever you want to call it, it was frigid!! And, today, we had a high of 53 (11.7C)! The night before, we had such dense fog, it was a …
The weather has changed quite a bit since last month! We’ve had several heavy frosts and even a few snowflakes. The leaves are all gone from the trees in our yard and from most of the trees around us. It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving has come and gone here in the States. I did quite …
“Meet Virginia” Last month, I said I thought fall was definitely on its way. We had fall, and then summer came back for quite a few days. The last couple of days, it’s been a bit chilly and drizzly. Our temps are supposed to drop drastically in the next day or two. Anyway, welcome to …
“A Thousand Years” I think fall weather is on the way. Mother Nature uses a calendar about as much as I do! That calendar may say one thing, but Mother Natures does her own thing! We have warm days and blessedly cool nights. Nigel and I washed windows and took out the screens. That lets …
“Heart of Glass” Last month, I began with a whine about the heat and humidity coming to Central Indiana. Well, I had no idea what heat and humidity were compared to the last several days. I have not done much of anything except try to keep my outdoor plants alive. You’ve seen my indoor plants …
“Freak Flag” Well, the heat and humidity have arrived in Central Indiana. I think they used to call them the dog days of summer, but I prefer to think of them as the slog days of summer. There’s nothing to do but slog through this air. Anyway, welcome to the last Monday in July and …
