elkhart: Patience Pays Off - 07/24/09 10:58 AM
When I was a child my grandma possessed some delightful Singer Sewing cards that had bird and bird egg illustrations on them. I attribute my love of birds, gardens and sewing to my Grandma Jones. She also taught me about being patient.
I have put out 3 bluebird houses for the last 3 years. I keep 2 heated birdbaths for the birds and have been rewarded each year in those long cold days of winter with groups of bluebirds stopping by for a drink. The brilliant flash of blue feathers against the grey skies brought me hopes of spring and … (2 comments)

elkhart: Yes Virginia, we have had over 10 inches of snow... - 11/29/08 09:59 AM
Maybe its because I still have just a smidge of Florida sand in between my toes, but it seems like the snow and winter have arrived very early this November in northern Indiana. Heres the proof, photos taken of my backyard on November 18th to be exact.No matter how long I live, I will never get over the thrill of seeing that clear blue sky behind the frigid trees. Bring on the hot buttered rum and my snow blower, winter is here!

elkhart: Fall...its closing in on us. - 08/26/08 11:46 AM
No..no...nooooooooo can the summer be gone? How can it be? I am still fighting the bunnies and chipmunks for my tomatoes. Hands full of green beans for the pot and small mounds of green peppers turning red on my porch. My attention is riveted as I watch the cherry tree leaves falling like light snow to the ground.
Still in denial, at first I thought the premature drop was due to the severe lack of rainfall in this area the last 2 months. However with the crisp low 50 degree mornings we have had the tulip tree leaves are starting to turn and join the … (8 comments)

elkhart: Anyone need the Blues? - 08/08/08 05:26 PM
These days in Elkhart, you can almost hear a collective SIGH as the dog days of August get even doggier with the ongoing saga of lost jobs and worry about the state of the local economy.
Being that I am a certified Pollyanna, I say that yes, it is hard to stay positive with the constant stream of bad news, BUT even if you can't afford a vacation this year, you can plan to attend the Elkhart Island of Blues Festival that will be taking place August 23,2008 at Island Park at the north end of Main Street and Beardsley Av. … (7 comments)

elkhart: Seize the day! - 08/07/08 10:04 AM
Today is one of those days here in Hoosier Land. One of those days that makes you glad you are alive and glad you are in Elkhart County! Low humidity, bright sunny day. Low 80's. This is the day I will "store" in my mind to recall during those dark winter mornings when the sky can barely light up enough to drive to work without running your headlights all day long.
Another reason to be happy today? Its harvest time in Indiana. The sweetest sweet corn, peaches, green beans, tomatoes, blueberries and the melons! I am like a drunken sailor reeling … (5 comments)

elkhart: Elkhart County Fair Anyone? - 07/21/08 06:41 PM
So sorry for those of you who do not live here or those who are even too far away to travel here. One of the best fairs in the state of Indiana is happening this week in Goshen, Indiana. We have free grandstand shows and some of the best entertainment around! Kellie Pickler, Hootie and the Blowfish and many other shows can all be seen from the grandstand for just the price of admission.
I have always liked going to the fair. My birthday falls around the Centerville MI fair week and every year when we were kids, we went to … (5 comments)
