Back On Track …
Lots to share! (Yep, the picture post I talked about…) I’m so excited. Our garden is producing: Oh Summer, I love you!!! We have Cornish chickens (meat chickens) … So, hear me out. I researched and grew into this phase, FOR A WHILE – on my OWN. One …
What a wonderful day …
The weather was beautiful, our daughter was gorgeous … We had a great day! Moving on … I have a whole week to play in the studio. I have my garden starts growing … and I’ve roped DH into building one more (of the two requested) raised garden beds. It’s all about moving forward! The …
Bombshell-Deadline-Bombshell …
And Finally a GOOD WEEK!!! I’ve been Missing In Action. I’m sorry for that. Crummy Viruses, Avoiding Adulting, Dealing WITH Deadlines, and ULTIMATELY – We Are Here! A few weeks ago, I spent some time (FORCEFULLY) visiting a lousy GI bug, but I beat it back and after 3 hard days – I won. Then …
Goodnight 2019 …
Our tax prep is DONE, dropped off to our favorite tax man, we’ll find out how well we did next week. But, can I just say THANK GOODNESS! It wasn’t all bad, as we took plenty of breaks … Fed the Ladies a bit of watermelon (they love it!); We enjoyed some pool time with …
Countdown, checklists, gardening …
So, the countdown for the twins’ open-house is in full swing. Menu has been determined, multiple negotiations for set-up and décor have occurred, deep-cleaning is about to begin … Oh, how I love being Martha Stewart! [Umm, NOT! – but I’m proud of my kids, love my house and 100 closest family/friends that enjoy that …
The beat goes on …
After sleeping for some 13 hours, I woke to our first summer day! (I am absolutely NOT complaining about the temperature!!!) So – we spent some time getting the garden in order (rototilling, weeding, general clean-up). I do believe I will sleep well tonight, but I had a blast playing in the dirt! With our …
WTH is THAT?!?
We’re settling into a good routine around here with the kids and dogs and pups … BTW – for all you Michigan folks – fair warning … the twins are now driving. Granted – not alone yet – so we’re all still safe for a bit longer … Anyway, a nice routine. Not much studio …
Of Course …
Of course it’s starting now(!) … My Neapolitan Mastiff mom has started stage one of labor – on Saturday, when I have to go to work. And – WE were going to see the new Batman movie … but now, ‘Fatty’ and I are pacing, heavy breathing, repositioning and pacing some more while the rest …
Where does the time go???
Where’d the week go? Can’t believe it’s Friday already! Big family shin-dig to celebrate my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary later today … No studio time – but good family time. I have been producing in the studio. Still on a pendant/badge reel kick … with the new kiln running twice a day. And, my coffin …
The yard work is done (almost) …
For this year anyway … Each year I add to our growing gardens/flower beds/landscaping. Since our house is in the middle of what used to be a hay field, I’ve had lots of planting to do. In the first few years, I would surround the house with annuals – in pots, no less. I quickly …
