Gardening, music, life with MS
We have been feeding the birds, one feeder outside the kitchen window, and the suet feeder outside the bedroom window. We have the usual, Tufted Titmouse, House Wren, Yellow Finches, and Northern Cardinals. The suet attracts some others such as, the Red Bellied Woodpecker (seen below), the Bluebird (seen below), and also the finches and […]
The weather has been so great. We got back Tuesday and Wednesday I was in the garden. I started where I left off with the lilies, (there were 2 that I didn’t get to). I did one and couldn’t help but notice what a horrible mess the adjacent bed was in. In this bed I […]
President’s Day weekend – Left Friday am and came home Tuesday am. Best trip as far as traffic. We took my Highlander, which I was excited about because I can drive it wherever I want (because of the hand controls). We went up so P could help my son finish putting up the cabinets in […]
Yesterday I was able to spend the afternoon out in the garden. I didn’t go back to the perennial garden where I started because it had rained and P doesn’t want me on the lawn with the golf cart, (God forbid) when its too wet. I could have but I just didn’t want to hear […]
Yes I know its not spring, but we have been blessed with above average temperatures. I take this as my cue to get outside and start spring cleanup. Every time I drive in or out of the driveway I see all the work that needs to be done. It can be quite overwhelming, that’s why […]

I weighed myself on February 7, but haven’t been able to post till now. I did it twice and both times showed 140 lbs. even. I expected it to be more because I am still not watching what I’m eating and continue to gorge. I keep looking for quick fixes such as lipo; a new […]
Setting goals works. Unfortunately I am not one that has ever set goals. You can tell that by how I’ve lived my life. I wasn’t raised with the thought of setting goals or to be goal oriented. My first memory of having goals and meeting them happened when I was in my early thirties. I […]
