I am so exhausted. I have lots to say and very little time to say anything. So I’ll just cut to the chase: It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
Chris and I joined Morris Arboretum last weekend and I am thrilled. I didn’t know what an arboretum was before I moved to Philly. [...]
Okay, I know that some of you are meme shy. But as part of my efforts to pull myself out of my funk, I thought it would be fun to try a new meme.
It’s easy to participate. Just post a photo on your blog of something that makes you smile or gets you [...]
What with all of the focus on Jenkens
these days, I’ve almost forgotten that some people work at big firms
and like it. Then again, some people also vote for Sanjaya on American
Idol. There’s no accounting for taste.
That said, after my splintering attack on big firm life,
I had lunch with a friend who has done [...]
It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
And today, I’m featuring this lovely little pansy from my front garden.
Pansies are just about the easiest flower to grow in the world. They love cool weather and they’ll tolerate some heat (though they don’t love extreme heat). They’re fairly resistant to drought. The oddest thing about them is [...]
So, you know I’m working on a post about happiness. I’ve been thinking about what makes me happy. As a result, today’s top ten is a list of ten movies that make me happy - not necessarily the funniest, most well written or best acted… They just make me happy. Enjoy!
Life [...]
It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
Four things say spring to me:
Daffodils
Tulips
Crocuses (Crocii)
Forsythia
And if you’re a regular reader, you’re thinking, but wait… isn’t it still kind of chilly… you’re in Philly, right? And your forsythia is blooming now?
I’ll come clean. It’s not. This is Philadelphia forsythia, but it’s from the flower show.
My forsythia is [...]
Wow, it’s been awhile since my Top Ten Monday…
But I feel compelled to post one today since I got so much feedback on my Swiffer post. Yeah, that’s right. People came up to me in person to talk to me about the Swiffer. It’s crazy.
So,
today’s top ten Monday are the top ten [...]
It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
Yeah, I wish this was my garden! This picture was taken yesterday by Chris while we were at the Philadelphia Flower Show. The theme was Legends of Ireland so there was a lot of green, white and orange. Fortunate for me since I’m really in an orange (and purple) [...]
It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
Okay, disclaimer: I did not take the picture on the left. I swiped it from Wikipedia.
But I have a reason. Sadly, my garden is a mess right now. A big ol’ mess of mud and dog poop. Mmm. Don’t you just love winter?
Actually, I do love [...]
It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
Chris pointed out that I didn’t properly credit him for my last GTS photo. Sorry, sweetie!
Actually a number of the photos of our garden and the park nearby are courtesy of my own Ansel Adams… including, of course, this one:
It’s moody and dark, not unlike our house these days (more [...]
