I enjoy re-purposing things and do so as much as I can. When I bought my home this old bench was left and it was rotted and filled with bugs and certainly not able to support people weight. Last summer it fell apart and I cleaned it, sprayed it for bugs and nailed it back together. I now use it f

It has rained most of the week and my flowers are here and then.....they are gone. The rain is great for the newly planted, transplanted stuff and the bulbs to thrive. The existing bushes or flowers bloom and then disappear. I always wanted peonies, and now that I have them.....they are droopy an

Have you ever noticed that no matter how badly you may physically feel, once you are waiting for your Dr. you are automatically feeling better. When your hair looks bad and you only want an apoointment to have it cut or styled, the day you actually get there your hair actually looks pretty good.

There are times and days when it is impossible to move forward without hesitation or pause. Sometimes I wonder about what makes the difference between doing good and being good. So here is my take. Being good only matters if you do good things and that is not always easy but in my view, the only
