I'm not much of a gardener ~ that pleasure falls to hubby ~ but I certainly do enjoy our roses. When we moved into this house the yards were bare, and one of the first things we did w...

Mr. McGregor and I are weeding, moving stuff around, and getting ready to plant some color. Then some serious porch-sitting on my $2-dollar-yard-sale wicker chair. Hope you all are fairing well, ...

I can't escape it. Everywhere I go there's junque! In my mind, there's a difference between plain "junk" and good "junque". Junk is stuff that's one step away from going in the trash....

Day one of our road trip was a travel day, with a stay-over in Cedar City before heading into Zion National Park. Cedar City is several miles past the turnoff we needed, but it was a necess...

Fall is upon us. For my beach community, the changes to the new season are always subtle. First it's an increasing nip in the air, morning and evening, until finally it's necessary to...
I was awakened this morning, while it was still dark, by the sound of a train whistle off in the distance. Keeping my eyes closed (and hoping to go back to sleep), I could hear the train rumbling...

I was moved by this little video that carries a big message. It's about kids in Paraguay that play instruments made from discarded trash from the city dump. "When I listen to the sound of a...

Yay! I did it - happily I'm joining Claudia at A Favorite Thing Saturday. It's been a super busy work season, and it feels good to do something that has nothing to do with strategic plannin...
