It’s the age old story of starting a project anticipating it will take about 3 days to finish.
You start off the first day with gusto…all geared up to get this project done.
For us the first day began with hauling out moldy storage (yes masks and garbage bags were utilized).
This mold arrived courtesy of a misguided attempt by the 12 year old to put away the dolls in a basement closet…which then did not have the ability to air out/dry out. Hrmph. Read more
OK, that may sound a little off to you, however…
Take a peek at what I call my “babies”!
These truly are babies – ok…miniatures…they were a part of a basket from my Dad’s funeral. And on the off-chance that they’d grow outside, I plopped them in the dirt gently planted them. Read more
At least that’s what Patty M calls herself!
We chatted across the alley today as she raked leaves that kept blowing into my yard and I pulled the remnants of last years flowers.
She’s such a character…
We chatted about another neighbor who is more reserved and that’s when Patty said: “She’s not like me – I’m just plain nosy!”
Patty’s husband is quite a character too…
As we painted the house a few years ago, George would sit there in his chair and “supervise”.
I think I made him extremely nervous as I was perched up on our ladder to reach the eaves. Never so nervous that he couldn’t give me a hard time though!
This is what life’s all about…good neighbors, good friends, a little gentle razzing across the alley and more than a few laughs.
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.”
Have a blessed day!

And now, I’m on the mend!

It has to be!
The snow piles are shrinking (I think we’re down to 3 1/2 feet now)!
I think we even hit 35 degrees today!
You can almost see my vegetable garden again…
Tear off those North Face down-filled coats, breathe in that fresh air, and hang on Minnesotan’s…it’s almost here! Read more
