Gardening, music, life with MS
The past 2 days have been a bit cooler, 80’s and cloudy, still some humidity. Late in the afternoon I decided to go do a little work in the garden and see if any peppers had to be picked. I had bought two Parsley plants and wanted to get them in the ground. I had […]
Not much going on in these hot days of August in the flower garden. On the other hand, this is the worst year we have had in the vegetable garden. Usually we are overflowing with tomatoes! Last year we gave away to people we didn’t even know, we had so many. So far this year, […]
Out of fairness I started watching the Republicans bid for another 4 years of President Trump. I listened to Nikki Haley. a few that I didn’t know and I stopped watching when Donald Trump Jr. spoke. I did listen for 5 whole minutes and I heard lies and that is when I turned it off. […]
As I was sitting down to eat my lunch on Saturday, (same time, 1:30, same lunch, yogurt, strawberries, apple, granola bar, every single day) I put on the TV. As I was searching I saw that Sex in the City was on the E channel. I put it on and next thing I knew it […]

First I will start with my latest shopping trip which was yesterday. With MS I have to pace myself. The morning is the best time for me, when I have most of my energy, Unfortunately, my husband who I depend on to take me, likes to go in the afternoon, no matter how many times […]
Well Joe Biden finally made his choice. It is not the choice I wanted. Who I wanted had removed herself awhile ago, Amy Klobuchar. I felt Kamala Harris was too progressive and would hurt Biden’s chances. I wanted a more moderate. The choice is made and I will support them. She is definitely a fighter […]
This morning I was looking around out front at all the weeds and work that has to be done out there and foreseeing that it isn’t going to happen anytime soon with temps still in the 90’s. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught site of a yellow finch and saw him perched […]
Today I am going back to living with MS because I have been very frustrated the past couple of days. On Friday I was in the gift shop and did ok. The day started with everything seemed to take longer than I had anticipated. My arms, legs and fingers weren’t cooperating. The mask I was […]
