  • What the World Needs

    I rarely clean windows anymore, plus these are the original windows from when this house was built in the 1960’s, so it’s hard to tell if they’re clean even after you clean them. While outside watering the flower baskets hanging… Continue reading

  • The Water Bowl

    It became easier to not add flowers to my yard once I stopped frequently visiting my happy place that you can read about here. My favorite garden center that feeds my very soul simply by parking my truck nearby. Sunday… Continue reading

  • Hear Myself Living

    It’s okay to change your mind. I change mine over something almost every day and I think being adaptable smooths the rough edges of change. Even though I didn’t plant any flowers in the ground this year, it didn’t stop… Continue reading

  • The Golden Jubilee

    My home is telling on me. The past few Friday’s have looked similar where all of the empty cups, mugs and coffee paraphernalia congregated to the kitchen island as if to say, “We served her well today.” The empty water… Continue reading

  • Say Yes to Rest

    The learning to rest thing is not easy, but it’s worth every effort given. I see ancient patterns resistant to change because they’ve been with me for a lifetime. As a child I don’t recall taking time for rest. Mama… Continue reading

  • A Season of Horrid

    My mail lady is going through some changes with the postal service. The other day I asked her, “How are you doing?” and she said, “I’m making $6,000 a year less and doing the same work!” I wasn’t expecting that.… Continue reading

  • These Three Cups

    There was a bird singing so loudly it was almost disturbing. That could have something to do with watching the old Alfred Hitchcock movie, “Birds” before bed. Since watching that movie, I’ll think twice when seeing a row of crows… Continue reading
