 My blogging may be sort of sketchy this week.  My mother in law, who is 90, and in failing health, was hospitalized last night with a perforated stomach.  Very serious situation.  As you can imagine, I am quite distracted.  Both my in laws are declining noticably of late, and are now incapable of making their…

 Hi everyone.  Thanks so much for all your wonderful good wishes to my son and his lovely girlfriend.  They are spending the rest of the week together, and I have decided to go up and visit my daughter through Thursday.  I plan to sit by her fireplace and do some major relaxing.  After all the…

However, it does make great dirt in 4 to 6 weeks. What's the point you ask? Well, compost creates a food source for a selection of life that…

Oh hello… Long time no see! Guest Blogger Sara here! The above shot is of mom's completed cushion redesign for the patio set she gifted me. A gorgeous toile complete with red stripe and button. A project like this would have really overwhelmed me, but she whipped this together in a mater of hours. She…
