Scarborough Tea
I thought today was going to be a difficult day because I stayed up much too late with EJ and I got up much too early with JJ. I like to greet EJ when he comes home from work and I like to fix… Continue Reading “Scarborough Tea”
I Blinked in May
Yesterday was a beautiful day with sunny skies and just-right temperatures. We have the sense that summer is slipping away, and there are things we still must get done before it. Every year, it feels as if I blinked in May and it’s suddenly… Continue Reading “I Blinked in May”
Gardening on Steroids
I am currently taking a corticosteroid medication called Prednisone, a fact that makes my husband and son cower in fear. The first time I took Prednisone was three or four years ago. It was, no doubt, for a rash or something. The first prescription didn’t… Continue Reading “Gardening on Steroids”

Since our yard has different levels separated by rock walls, I decided… Continue Reading “The Herb Garden…and the Angry Ants”
Companion Gardening
My husband likes to do companion gardening. For anyone who might not know, companion gardening involves planting two or more plant species together in order to create a beneficial situation for both. A number of different goals can be accomplished with companion planting. Some plants, like… Continue Reading “Companion Gardening”
His, Mine, and Ours
When my son was little, we had more grassy lawn, but there were some parts of the yard that he never played in, so we turned them into garden. Gradually, we turned more and more of our yard into garden and now we have… Continue Reading “His, Mine, and Ours”
The Art of Gardening
When I was younger, I was sort of a perfectionist, very concerned about doing things “right.” I would feel bad if someone who “knew better” told me I was doing something the wrong way. I have become less of a perfectionist over the years.… Continue Reading “The Art of Gardening”
