my favorite time of the day

It’s Thursday, June 30th and it’s my favorite time of the day, coffee time! I was hoping Jason would join me in the garden like he did on Wednesday but he’s in the mood to bake bread, which is one of his favorite things! Today, I spent way too much time petting Buttercup and writingContinue reading “my favorite time of the day”

A Restful Saturday

Saturday, we were too tired after a long week to attempt any of the Md Ice Cream Trail . Instead, we stayed home. Jason played on his computer and I wrote. Later in the day we ended up googling and daydreaming about possible vacation spots. We probably won’t actually be able to go anywhere thisContinue reading “A Restful Saturday”

Visiting the Garden Center

Last Friday, I visited Valley View Farms in Cockeysville, Md. I had a lot of empty flower pots and I really wanted to fill them up, so I decided it was time to visit a garden center. I have 3 favorite garden centers. I really love this garden center. It’s been here for as longContinue reading “Visiting the Garden Center”

Tidying the Kitchen Pantry

Today’s forecast is rain, so it’s a good day to reorganize the kitchen pantry. Despite the fact that the pantry was built along with the rest of the house, by the same company that built the house, the pantry has a very sparse, beginner-DIY look to it. On one half of the pantry, the shelvesContinue reading “Tidying the Kitchen Pantry”

A Lazy Sunday

Today feels like the definition of a lazy summer Sunday. The weather is perfect. Temperatures are in the mid to high 70s, a breeze is blowing and the trees are shading the back yard.

Today’s Main Goal

Today’s main goal is to fold and put away sheets and coverlets …or atleast fold them. It’s another beautiful day and it’s very difficult for me to be inside on a nice day. My heart is just constantly pulling me towards the outdoors and my gardens. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t really allowed to goContinue reading “Today’s Main Goal”

This Tuesday’s Daily Goal

Tuesday, June 14th On Sunday, when I planned out my week,  today’s forecast was rain all day. So, I set today’s big goal to be cleaning the house. As it turns out, today has been a gorgeous, cool day (low 80s, instead of the high 80s of yesterday) and since I love to spend asContinue reading “This Tuesday’s Daily Goal”
