ABC Along

I told myself last Friday that if my hair came out good I’d put on the Everyday Cardigan and take…

In no particular order, this weekend I: ~Bought myself some tulips. I’m so sick of snow and ice and cold.…

I had a restful and relaxing weekend. Dale had some commitments so I had plenty of free time for hanging…

This is our kitchen table: It’s simple and beautiful and – here’s why it’s special – it used to belong to Dale’s grandmother. This is the table that Dale’s dad grew up with and by some stroke of luck it wound up with us. I truly love it. I remember when we were doing the…

This jewelry box belonged to my mother and it was one of the first things I brought back to my house after she died. I bought it for her for her birthday in 1975 when I was 10 years old. I saw it at the store and fell in love with it because I thought…

I realized the other day that I haven’t done a “Things That Make Me Go Hmmm” in a really long time. I’m sure I’ve thought of lots of things to put on this list but they are always so fleeting. My thoughts, that is. If I don’t write this stuff down, well, it’s just gone.…

I have fallen woefully behind on the ABC Along. I am just now getting to H and I think I’m supposed to be on L. Hillary assures me that I can catch up so I’m going to give it a try. Besides, a perfect H fell into my lap. Actually, this perfect H started when…

I resisted doing G is for Garden since I just posted F is for Flowers. I thought perhaps I was being redundant. But last week I raked out the perennial bed and now every time I walk by it I can’t help but notice how fresh and green it looks. And since there are no…

I tried to come up with something more original for “F” but I kept drawing a blank. So, flowers it is. I love to take photos of flowers. Whether I’ve got a bouquet or I’m in a garden, whether it’s wildflowers in the woods or poinsettias at Christmas time, give me some flowers to photograph…

I know that E is for Egg is not exactly original. Nevertheless, here I am, doing it. Why? Because I love eggs! I get my eggs from Blogless Sharon’s farm. They are organic, they come in pretty shades of brown, green and blue, and they are delivered right to my door by my dear friend.…

Of course, if C is for Cat then D must be for Dog. A dog named Dixie. Let me say right up front that I am not a dog person. I never had a dog growing up (well, except for the brief and ill-fated attempt we had with an Irish Setter puppy in the winter…

Of course, C is for Cat. You all know Mason, right? Isn’t he beautiful? I’ve always had a Siamese cat, even before I was born. You see, when my oldest brother was 11 he started begging for a cat. My parents agreed and sought permission from their downstairs neighbor and landlord. The landlord said okay…
