Outside Work
I had thought that after JJ’s surgery in Indianapolis, our lives would quickly calm down with only an occasional blood draw, CT Scan, and doctor’s visit. However, last week we had only one day in which we didn’t have to take JJ to an… Continue Reading “Outside Work”
And Miles To Go…
It’s been several days since I have written anything in this blog. Saturday was Shabbat so we rested. Sunday EJ moved several climbing rose bushes away from the bird feeders and next to the fences where they can climb better. EJ is never “aware”… Continue Reading “And Miles To Go…”
Sunday
Yesterday went by in a blur. We made it through the whole winter without getting sick, but yesterday, March 1st, both EJ and I were sick with swimmy, achy heads, coughs, sneezes, and aches. We felt awful, so we didn’t do much. Hopefully JJ… Continue Reading “Sunday”
Enjoyable Temptations
This was one of those days when I was busy from sunrise to sunset. However, it was an enjoyable busy and an enjoyable day. I woke just before 7:30 a.m. and immediately started making challah bread. I knew we had errands to run, so… Continue Reading “Enjoyable Temptations”
Autumn Projects
Yesterday morning EJ and I got another load of firewood from our friend RB’s place. We just put the wood into the back of the pickup truck rather than try to pull the trailer home. Today’s wood was heavier–we took the lighter pieces… Continue Reading “Autumn Projects”
The Apple Thief
After JJ left for school and we had eaten breakfast and cleared a bit of sleepiness from our heads, EJ and I drove to our friend RB’s place in the country to get a load of the firewood that he said we could have.… Continue Reading “The Apple Thief”
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”
Laundry Day
Today we did laundry. When we first moved into our house, the washer and dryer were in the unfinished basement. I had to constantly run down to the basement through our unheated very-cold-in-the-winter back porch to do laundry. So when we redid our downstairs… Continue Reading “Laundry Day”
The Sparrows in the Vines
The vines on my house grow really fast. I noticed vines beginning to creep up my kitchen window. I saw them at the bottom of the window, and then a week or two later they were at the top of the window. It’s spooky… Continue Reading “The Sparrows in the Vines”
Downstairs and Upstairs
Over the last couple of years, EJ has planted several fruit trees throughout our yard. He has two dwarf Alberta Peach trees in his garden in the back yard, and five dwarf cherry trees of a couple different varieties throughout my part of… Continue Reading “Downstairs and Upstairs”
New Neighbors
Last year my husband made a new pen for our dog, Danny. The new pen is bigger and shadier and it is made up of cattle panels so the breeze can get through on hot summer days. Not that Danny spends much time in it–he’s… Continue Reading “New Neighbors”
