It’s been so long since I stopped in to say hello, I figured I’d better do it while I had a moment and was thinking about it. Winter ended rather abruptly, and with the end of the snow, the race to try to get something to grow in the garden (or rather ANYTHING to grow) …
Daily routine is important. Knowing what each day has in store is, for the most part, soothing. There is a comfort to getting up each day, accomplishing what needs to be accomplished and making the most of the time we are given to live our lives. For me, during the week at least, that means …
If anyone ever tells you that moving to a rural area will be relaxing, I encourage you to look them in the eye and tell them that they do not know what they are talking about. Seriously, they have no idea. Life is so full in the country, that there aren’t enough hours in the …

I had made up my mind to write something at least once a week in June. I got as far as the Monthly/Weekly/Food celebrations, was mid-way through June 1 celebrations, and just couldn’t finish. My heart wasn’t in it. Every single day something horrible happens in this country, it’s all out of control and I’m …

Usually I would have been here for the past few days, counting down the days to Easter and all of the rich, miraculous meaning behind the events of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Instead of sitting at the computer, since I do that all day, every day for work, I have been focusing on …
