The wild edges of my little ol’ yard

It was a chilly 44 degrees this morning.  Me and my wild-a** morning hair, my camera, and a little ol' pup with a nose for adventure, headed out to see if the plants survived the chill of the night. The irises haven't bloomed yet.  My hand wasn't as steady as I hoped, but I did… Continue reading The wild edges of my little ol’ yard

Empty Nest Reflections on Mother’s Day

It's quiet here this morning in our Lil' ol' empty nest.  I'm an empty nest Mom, on Mother's Day.  There, I said it. It's the first Mother's Day where I won't see either daughter.  We have no forced plans to see them.  Or a vacation to share.  I can't believe we haven't hugged since we… Continue reading Empty Nest Reflections on Mother’s Day

April brings Spring-like weather while it showers us with the Yippee! - I'm all warmed up to the… Continue reading A not so perfect mixture for decluttering

A twinkle in those eyes and a song in the air…spring is here!

I couldn't hear him clearly when Mr. bounded into the house and yelled up the stairs to me, "I heard a Robin!" And Slam the door went closed before I could respond.  Back out the door, Mr. flew. I watched him from the windows, as he wandered about the yard, looking up at all the… Continue reading A twinkle in those eyes and a song in the air…spring is here!
