Gardening, music, life with MS
For Christmas last year my son bought some tools for toddlers. He thought that since he would be redoing his kitchen that my granddaughter could help with her own tools. They came with a tool belt which she didn’t want to wear. So I figured that I would add it to items I would look […]
Ever since I can remember I have always been a very vivid dreamer. They are like adventures with my full participation. In my childhood I had recurring dreams which frightened me. They were always about my mother and I remember them being like the children’s story of “Hansel and Gretel.” I used to go to […]
I like to make lists, of everything. There are lists of things to do, which keep me focused and make me more inclined to accomplish what is on those lists. For me to pick up the phone and call a friend, relative, anyone at all, I have to put it on my list of things […]
I’m scared….so much is happening in our country and throughout the world. Some observations that are causing my fear. Now the men, all in the name of power that are wreaking terror throughout the world Commonalities for everything I’ve listed is: Lies, suppressing information and taking away peoples rights.

My herb garden gets the least attention. Since herbs thrive in full sun and don’t need to be mulched, they can easily be ignored……….. for awhile. I do go in a couple of times a year to weed and thin out or cut back. This year I’m giving it more attention than normal. The Thyme […]
Most of the time I like a rogue plant. By rogue, I mean a plant that reseeds itself in strange, sometimes unwanted spaces. I’ve had tomatoes in the rose garden and also in a shade garden. I have Black Eyed Susan’s in with some Hellebores and Variegated Liriope, (the garden with the mossy head). This […]
Here it is 143.2 lbs. I expected this or more. This time I am really noticing how big my stomach and thighs are. For the first time there are clothes that DO NOT FIT AT ALL! So far I’ve taken a top and today a pair of jeans off and put them right in the […]
The past few weeks I have been very busy cleaning out all of the beds. I have made real progress, all the beds are done except for my favorite main perennial, (the largest) garden. It is cleaned up and I have moved the Coneflowers and the groundcover little yellow flowers from the back to the […]
