Why have you forsaken us?
Clearly our sacrifices of rubber ducks, enormous wads of toilet paper and most recently, an entire bag of flossers, did not please you…
You rejected my offering of Drano.
You have turned away from an eco-friendly mixture of baking soda, salt and vinegar.
You even scorned the plumber.
You have spewed forth - again and [...]
Amy learned this song at preschool and it is now one of her favorites. I must say, I’m a bit envious of Thumbkin, as no one seems to realize that he’s simply behind your back. Hmm. How to master this trick…
I’ve missed a few days’ blogging here and there. Things have [...]
Apparently God has been too busy answering court complaints to help me sell my house.
This fact came up at my house last week with a group of friends. I explained that I had even bought St. Joseph from the Catholic Supply Store (yes, my mom knows), buried him in the front yard and said the [...]
Last night, it was 53 degrees. 53. About damn time. I am over waiting for the summer heat to say its goodbyes.
It does, however, also mean the last of the brilliant summer color. Here’s a parting shot of the front garden, more echinacea, some bee balm (raspberry wine) and moonbeam coreopsis. [...]
It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
Today’s offering is a little purple coneflower, or echinacea. I chose it because while much of the color of the summer season is winding down, I have a few coneflowers hanging on. These are such lovely, long-lived flowers. I planted them in bunches in the front garden - and in back [...]
I have to say, this whole “selling our house, not selling our house, selling our house” craziness has made me realize a number of things. And I feel like I need to memorialize them so that they are not forgotten.
1. Throwing things away is not a bad thing. This is the number [...]
Katie did, in fact, survive her first day of kindergarten. She loves it. She has a few classmates from Pre-K and lots of new kiddos in the class - there are 16 kids.
I have volunteered to be a Class Parent. Yep, you read that right. Katie often looks like a gypsy (she has an interesting [...]
Oh yeah, I’m back.
Well, I wasn’t really gone. But my Green Thumb Sunday love was. One of the reasons that I was so crazy nuts about getting the migration over to wordpress.org to work is that wordpress.com would not allow script. And without script, you can’t do a proper blogroll (you can [...]
I am, apparently, the queen of flip-flop.
Not on purpose, mind you.
Remember this big announcement? And my reasons why?
Well, I take it back. Sort of. The house is still on the market but my heart is no longer in it. At least not for fall. We picked the worst market in 16 years to try and [...]
