My “I’m gonna kick yer ass” shoes Why a photo of my shoes? Cuz I love ’em! They’re comfy…like walking on air. And they’ve helped me keep my balance during all those frenzied kicks I have to pull off in order to look like I’m keeping up during my kickboxing […]

White azalea

One of the flowering trees at Wedel’s Nursery Any time I traipse around the stores with my mom, we usually end up at a garden center. This time I picked up a new hydrangea to go along with the lilac, burning bush, euonymous, hollyhocks, and sedum that I’ve already bought […]
