Our spring has been beautiful beyond description.
And since Tom’s been home since his surgery a month ago, we decided to brighten up our back porch and deck with some hanging baskets of flowers, as we sit out there several hours a day, some days. This is our view from our old white wicker furniture nestled [...]

Today I Bought Geraniums
March 13th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Creating A Home, Health, Medical, Reflections, Uncategorized
The news from my doctor wasn’t good yesterday, so today I bought geraniums.
I’ve only had the traditional bright red geraniums once before several years ago and I came to love them dearly. My plants grew and grew and bloomed and bloomed all through the spring, summer and long after. By mid-winter that year, none [...]

Snow is Gone, but Christmas Spirit Reigns
December 15th, 2008 · 10 Comments · Creating A Home, Tom & Me, Uncategorized
The snow last week was short lived, but we’re still in the Christmas spirit. Just tired out, is all. Somehow, Tom & I both have run out of steam and plan on just coasting through the rest of this month til year’s end. I hope that’s the case, anyway, because I’ve needed my afternoon naps [...]

Anyway, back to the loose screw on the towel rod. (See Monday’s post here.)
Well . . . a day later (we’re up to last Saturday here) & $50 something bucks shorter (home repairmen husbands & Home Depot will get you every time), Tom got it "fixed."
But, not before he had worked on it [...]

It’s the little things, you know? That add up to the huge irritations and inconveniences.
That’s been my life, of late.
Actually, considering all that’s gone on, I’ve been in pretty good – make that extremely good – spirits. But, alas, my composure sort of slipped this afternoon. I was confused, irritated and impatient, for which [...]

I Use My Good Dishes . . . Every Day
June 16th, 2008 · 12 Comments · Creating A Home, Perspective, Reflections, Tom & Me, Uncategorized
There comes a time in life, and I’ve arrived there, when "saving" good things – the best, whatever it is – for "company" seems to be a loss of the lovely for each and every day. The one we’re living now.
I did not come to this realization on my own.
As with most of the [...]
