It’s the time of year when I begin assaulting my viewers with photos of my garden. It’s all the pent-up eagerness that I can’t contain after months without blooms in my yard. But…I don’t have everything planted yet so I’ve been restricted to the tulips and emerging perennial leaves. So where […]
Just call him “Speedy”
I started running about seven years ago. Mostly on the track at my gym and, even then, not for miles and miles. When I started at my current company, I discovered they had a runners’ club and I took the plunge and joined up. The allure was the opportunity to run […]
Local goodness
The kiddo had this Friday off from school, so I took a day off from work as well. I love when we have opportunity to just hang out together. The thought was that we’d go to a movie and just enjoy the day. Which we did. But it ended up being […]
A study in tulips
My backyard is just bursting with blooms right now. The ones I planted out front, however, were ravaged by the squirrels. Or at least I’m going to blame them, even without proof. I have no idea why they’re too lazy to scale the fence and gnaw on the ones in […]
A benefit of working from home: afternoon snack
Sure, I could have taken the cake to work with me and noshed on it there. But the fancy-schmancy whipped cream and the sprinkling of chocolate morsels couldn’t have been duplicated in that setting. And they add a lot, don’t you think? The cake is simple to make too. You should […]
The weekend: it came and went
Weekends are too short, don’t you agree? Looks like Nick could use another few hours in his weekend too. Lazy cats! I can’t resist taking photos of his big ol’ paws. Especially when he stretches out so adorably. The only bad thing about the photo is that the flannel sheets are still […]
Whenever I start making my bed…
…this little stinker shows up. Well, I guess he’s not little anymore. But he’s still a stinker.
Apple? Cheddar? Bacon? Together? Yes!
Yes, I was excited when I read the title of the recipe too. Those three yummy tastes in one loaf of bread? It’s too good to be true. I had no intention of making this today. I had two other things lined up for the oven in preparation for tomorrow. […]
Now for the cinnamon rolls
You know how you realize something is probably not good for you, but it looks so tasty, that you decide to go ahead and make it anyway? That’s where I was with these cinnamon rolls. I’ve never made cinnamon rolls before. I haven’t eaten that many either, to be honest. […]
Kiss us, we’re Irish
We are waiting, sort of patiently, for spring to arrive. I think this past winter (it’s officially spring, so I think I’m allowed to put it in the past, cold temps withstanding) will be one for the record books. Well, at least I hope it will. If I have that […]
Florida – one month later
Yep…an entire month has gone by since we returned from our trip. I’ve been to Florida many times since I met Scott because some of his family lives there. And it’s always been a welcome change of scenery from the colder weather. This trip, though, was the first one where […]
