yesterday

Yesterday was kind of a strange day…
To start with, the wind blew HARD for most of the day, which is always unsettling. I had intended to get some work done outside, but when I tried to do some hand watering, the wind was blowing the water sideways and I had to stand just right for any of the […]

the end of an era

Well, we’ve reached the end of an era.

Happy May Day

When I was a kid we used to make little baskets at school on the first day of May, then fill them with flowers and give them as May Day gifts.  What a nice tradition… one that I wish I would have kept up with our kids.
 As I look out the window today though, this is what […]
