Saturday Evening on the Patio

This evening, like most evenings, I went out to water the plants and new trees and bushes just after the sun really got into its initial descent for the night – about 7:30-ish.  I started with the front yard and then headed out to do the back… Continue Reading “Saturday Evening on the Patio”

$#*t Happens……

OK, so I know that “stuff” happens and there’s not much you can do but laugh (or cry, as the case may be) at it and move on.  But, when the same (or very similar) thing happens twice within a short amount of time,… Continue Reading “$#*t Happens……”

Ring Them Bells

I love the sound of bells and chimes.  I typically have several wind chimes out in the yard to sing with the breeze.  I haven’t put them out here, yet – I’m waiting for the planned landscaping to be completed before I figure out… Continue Reading “Ring Them Bells”

Directionally Challenged

I readily admit it.  I have a major problem.  I am, to put it bluntly, directionally challenged.  I can get lost in my own back yard if getting around it requires the ability to know what direction I’m headed.  I am proud to say… Continue Reading “Directionally Challenged”

Serenity

Serenity, peace, living the good life……call it what you will, but I have had three days in a row where I have enjoyed perfect serenity – a little piece of heaven – and I didn’t have to go far to find it!  Right now,… Continue Reading “Serenity”

So much to be thankful for…..

Just look around you……it isn’t difficult to find those things that you can count among the many blessings you have in your life – those things that you bow your head and give thanks for – those things that give meaning to your life and make… Continue Reading “So much to be thankful for…..”

Moving On

What a hectic, busy, emotional, etc., etc., etc., few weeks this has been!  I retired from my job of 23+ years, packed up my house and dogs, put my home on the market, said good-bye to a lot of wonderful friends, and moved from central… Continue Reading “Moving On”

No Plan……..No Problem!

If this year has taught me anything, it would be that it is OK to not have everything planned out to the most intricate detail.  Really, it is…….and I’ve really, truly learned to be OK with that!   And, believe me, that is about as… Continue Reading “No Plan……..No Problem!”

What I’m looking forward to…..and what I’ll miss…..

As I reflect on my plans for the future and get closer to finalizing my decisions on when, how, and other specific details that are still being mulled over and analyzed (to death, as usual), I find myself thinking a LOT about what I… Continue Reading “What I’m looking forward to…..and what I’ll miss…..”
