Wow. That was a title and a half. I just couldn't think of another way to word this post. But now that I look at it again, I guess that kind of says it all.

Geraniums… The Old Lady Flower

Years ago I was helping my oldest daughter with the flower gardens around her new home. The new cabin I bought had been owned by a landscape architect and the yard was full of flowers. We split a bunch of the overgrown plants and did quite a lovely job filling in the beds around her … Continue reading Geraniums… The Old Lady Flower →

Socialism; The American Bogeyman

For Americans it seems that socialism is like the bogeyman. Mind you, they have a lot of bogey men. But it seems that this particular fear threatens life as they know it.

It’s Easy To Be Kind

Recently I was having a bad day. That often leads to a pity party of one. Which is okay as long as the party ends and we go back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Do It Like Jane

I have a lead foot when I drive. I get onto the open road and I go fast. Don't get me wrong. In the city, residential areas, school and playground zones, I obey the rules of the road.

Got A Secret? Please Don’t Tell Me

We have all had this happen right? Someone shares a bit of gossip about another person. A friend maybe. Or relative. Maybe it's a work thing. They tell us a big long juicy story and then end it with "Don't tell anyone. It's a secret". What? Wait. No no no... Yeah. It's at this point … Continue reading Got A Secret? Please Don’t Tell Me →
