Nightmares on Oak Street

My walk through the garden today fell a bit short of idyllic and peaceful.  In fact, I witnessed a few outright nightmares!  If you are squeamish or prone to fainting, beware as you enter this post today......

"Silence is Golden"

Wednesday Walkabout

I really have far too much to do this week and am really feeling that Wednesday "hump day," so I have no business spending time in the garden or posting on this blog.  But you know, I must have a quick meander through the garden.  So much is going on! 

Come, walk with me.

Come, walk with me.

Confessions of a Photo Faddist

I have a teenage son who is a very picky eater.  What makes things even tougher is that he gets caught up on these "food fads."  He absolutely loves eating a certain food for lunch everyday for two months, then suddenly won't touch it.  Never mind that I just bought a month's supply, and no one else in the house wants the stuff.  Then we're off on a new food fad.  It really drives me crazy.  Don't get me wrong, we don't spoil him.  Most nights, he must sit down and eat what the family's having for dinner.  (Though in his younger days, many a tear was shed over broccoli.)   But for breakfast, lunch, and snacks, we pretty much just grab stuff from the kitchen.

Wet Weekend at Six Acres

This past weekend, the family made a mad push to finish the work at son's house/property, which I call Six Acres.  We worked pretty much nonstop through daylight hours from Friday to Monday.   Of course, there's still much to be done.  As my husband always wisely puts it, "It is what it is."
