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”
Self Care Day
I love going for my monthly facial and mani/pedi. I try to go every 4 to 5 weeks. Making a plan is key I put it on my calendar early, so that it’s harder to let other things get in the way. I know I’m very lucky to be able to do this on aContinue reading “Self Care Day”
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”
Dealing with the Impending Death of a Friend
Thursday was a very hard day… It was my allotted day of the week to visit my friend in the hospital. My dear friend is dying.

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.

Jason and I heard about the Md Ice Cream Trail last summer. At the time, we talked about following it but we got busy and never got around to it. Earlier this week, Jason read something about it online and said, “You know, if we start this weekend, we could complete the Icecream Trail beforeContinue reading “Visiting the Maryland Ice Cream Trail”
A Garden Center, a Homeless Man and a Sunburn
A Garden Center, a Homeless Man and a Sunburn. Those 3 things do not sound like they go together, but they did for me on Friday. Where to start… This year, I told myself that I wasn’t going to buy any flowers. I would stick with the flowers that came back up from last yearContinue reading “A Garden Center, a Homeless Man and a Sunburn”

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”
