Sibling Love

The kittens were a little put off at first.But they've started to be somewhat fond of one another.We're hoping that Reuben isn't just ... [ Read More ]
Lettuce Mayhem
Many of you have been asking for an update on the vegetable garden, and I have good reason for withholding from you. You see, for a long time, I just wasn't sure which were weeds and which were veggies. Shameful, I know. I certainly didn't want to pull up my little tender shoots of life. And so the story goes...To make a long and very muddy story short, I've finally weeded my lettuce, peas, onions ... [ Read More ]

I love the bold contrast between the Mahogany and Maple. I love the smooth ... [ Read More ]
Layout
Well, I changed the layout of my blog today, which turned out to be an infuriating task. Sometimes, the blogger website makes me want to start myself on fire. I'm not sure if the finished product looks too 'commercial' or not. Please let me know what you think!! It can always be changed, and probably will be every few months... because I like change.I also like having lazy days to ... [ Read More ]
Not Normal
I sit here on this dreary wet day, and consider weeding the garden in the rain, whether or not I will be camping with friends tonight... in the rain, and what the hack I should do with my day.I sit here thinking about all the things I would like my husband to do with his free time, knowing that a honey-do list would only make matters worse. And so I prioritize them in my mind, and think of ... [ Read More ]
