2017 has been that kind of year for me. I had counted on continuing employment at Naumkeag, a local museum where I had worked for two yearns. I did really well but it wasn't to be. Then I had hoped for something else but that didn't materialize. So I went in another direction, and I threw myself

I am amazed at the number of people who just don't get it. Preparation is very important but nothing is more important than simply learning to really pay attention and listen. Sometimes you hear things but are concerned about how you will respond you don't really listen to what is being communica

After days of rain my lawn is greener than it ever has been before. I did errands today and even bought a beautiful plant stand I had looked at before. I was thinking about it for days and that is my trigger. I bought another plant for the stand and the rain will keep it healthy until I can ferti

I started my book. I finally put pen to paper and began what I have thought about for a very long time now. I blog on the computer but I write in a composition book. It brings me back to a time I remember and cherish, and I can't lose my work unless I misplace the actual thing.So now I am going t

One more time to see if I can get some pictures up. Here we go.The dandelions are gone and the grass is doing well. Everyday I weed because the brambles are still not gone.This is in the front and on the side. I have numerous areas to work and monitor. One quick observation on the photo problems

The rain is a beautiful and natural thing. The waters take the plants to another level and the winds keep us cool on the otherwise humid days. I was out early digging up more brambles and mushrooms but now it is pouring and I am in getting ready to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. I have a book to ge
