So you’re going to think I’m a special kind of ignorant after this. Ready? Let’s do this. Does the United States have boxing day? Is it like what we have here in Canada? I realize that I live oh, maybe 20 minutes from the American border and I should know this. But I don’t. Well, […]

So while I had my paintbrush out and filled with beautiful white glossy paint, I thought it couldn’t hurt to slap a little extra on our sad and shabby looking light switch in the front hall, you know, just to clean it up for now. Why not just throw a new switch plate up there? […]

Me and Balance, we’re best buddies lately. We hang out daily and I tell her all my goals and hopes and dreams. She helps me work towards them and maybe even reach some of them. Only, slowly. Like, really slowly. I’m not a patient person. I like instant-gratification. I like right-now. And I like attention, […]

Thursday, 8:17 a.m. I’m never that type of person who can get a good photo of a bird. No patience. But there he was, sitting on the little pine tree right outside my window, framed by the kitchen door window, the wreath, and the mudroom window, with that lovely cornfield in the background.

The front hall project continues! I’ve been trying to tackle the floors a little at a time, but only when Kennedy’s out of the house, because of the toxic adhesive remover and all that. The problem is, the adhesive remover actually smells really good, all citrusy and clean, so you kinda want to smell it. […]

So a couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, we were sitting in the dining room eating our lunch. Chris was reading the paper. He looked up and said semi-mockingly, “Oh no, we’re going to miss the Dover Cruise this weekend.” we were heading out to the beach in a couple of hours. “What’s that?” […]

Oh, this garden. I just can’t keep up with it lately. Kennedy and I took these photos last week and it looks nothing like this now. It’s suddenly much, much fuller. This is the time of year when the corn grows taller by the hour, And you give up on fighting weeds and bugs altogether. […]

Most normal folk would probably classify this as a “weed”. If you’ve been hanging out around here for long, you may know that I love weeds. So much so that I may even from time to time call them “plants”. So what is this plant? Do you know? It started growing in my front flower […]
