3 bats. For the past week or so, three bats have circled out house each evening at dusk. Frantic, swooping, flying creatures. I know this because I bought a sweet little table and chair set and plunked them out on our back porch so that hubby and I could enjoy coffee out there each morning.… Continue reading Go Batty
Yesterday in my yoga class, I decided to do as much of the class as I could with my eyes closed. I’ve noticed that in a yoga class, your state of mind can really run the gamut. Some days, I’m (we’re) feeling chatty and much talk and subsequent laughter ensues during the hour. Other days,… Continue reading Without sight…See.
I’m laughing as I type this….I had today’s post all mapped out yesterday. It was going to be on “sleep” and the benefits of it and, more pointedly, my quest for more of it. Well, I was working on an article last night, ended up going to bed, er….too late…and didn’t get to my post.… Continue reading Switch Gears
Greens in all directions today, on this last official day of Spring. What we’ve all been waiting for is finally upon us….glorious summer is at our feet. Tomorrow. In 24 little hours. You can just about catch a whiff of sunscreen…. Firstly today…the recipe for Roasted Beets that were mentioned in yesterday’s post (courtesy of… Continue reading Garden Glories
I was on the fence for a good long time about joining a CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Part of it maybe was habit (why change my routine of going to the farmers’ market or just the grocery store?) and part of it was fear, which sounds ridiculous but it’s true. Would we… Continue reading The Produce IS Greener on the Other Side of the Fence
One of my favorite things to do is to walk out in my garden early in the morning. No one else in the house is awake, there aren’t too many cars passing by…the world is relatively still. Birds, dew, clean scents, no heat…peace, color and magic. I did that this morning and here are a… Continue reading Morning Glories
Trumpet vines, that is. And they reminded me, big and loud, of a good life lesson yesterday. After several days of rain and just plain cold weather (what’s up with that?), the bad weather waved adios and sunny skies replaced them. And we exited our house as quickly as we could. One daughter headed out… Continue reading Trumpets Blare
“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”-Margaret Atwood And that’s how it was this past weekend. My husband and I worked out in the yard both days, all day. The kids helped too, in the way that kids do. They start off enthused, with the gloves on and… Continue reading A new fragrance: Dirt
This past weekend was utterly beautiful where I live. Spring-i-ness in all it’s glory. Honestly, if I didn’t have errands to do during the week and a family to take care of, I’d probably spend these early spring days just driving around aimlessly. It’s just SO green everywhere. Two weeks ago there were no leaves,… Continue reading Garden of Ideas
It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain Can you feel it? Spring is coming. In fact, it is a mere… Continue reading Color Me Green
