I meant this for earlier in the month but got sidetracked. This has been an extremely busy month. April showers are here. The ground in my swampy yard is…swampy. I have to put on my boots to go out there. Grden work has started. I put down the borer control and bought ant traps forContinue reading “April Showers”

The storage area should be finished today, and I can move on with my life and get back to a more normal schedule on my days off. Some friends helped me by renting a truck to move the final boxes of books. On Wednesday, I plan to go to my local writers meeting and read.Continue reading “Today Is the Day”

This title does not seem right. I don’t mean that I am almost done with my novel. I mean that I am almost out of the storage area, after which I can get back to my writing. I have been on a detour from what I really wanted to do to what I felt IContinue reading “Almost Done”

It’s been a rough start to my week off. The last of the three elderly cats I had was put to sleep on Tuesday, my first day off. It was very sad but for the best. I still have the two young cats that I got when the first of the elderly cats died. HopeContinue reading “My Birthday”

Spring is upon us and I can’t say that I’m entirely happy. I like warm weather, but it increases my workload. I’m going to have to start on the garden. There is a very small window where you can poison the iris borers and if you don’t, you end up with them everywhere. If you’reContinue reading “Spring”

Well, it’s the middle of March but still feels like winter. Ugh. I keep reminding myself that when Spring starts I will have to work in the yard again, so it’s ok for it to be winter a while longer. I am still dealing with trying to get out of a storage unit, which ateContinue reading “Still Winter”

I wish I could say that I have been writing but I have been working at the storage area with Ed’s books. It is looking better and more organized there. We are making space for the books and art from the other storage area. I’m in so much pain, though. My left hand is achingContinue reading “Pain”

They are predicting more snow for us tomorrow. That will slow the garden down some, for which I’m grateful. This month is moving along too fast. I can’t keep up. Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. I want to finish the storage area by the end of the month because I will need to work inContinue reading “Snow is Coming Again”

The beginning of March, at last! That means spring and warmer weather and other work to do that will distract from my writing. Oh, no. I love the warm weather, but it means the garden is growing. I saw some yellow crocus in the front yard. I have to remain determined to get my writingContinue reading “Spring Cleaning”

We’re nearing the end of the second month of the year. If you haven’t looked at your New Year’s goal to check your progress, now might be a good time. I have been looking at mine periodically on my days off work. If you remember, I had set a timeline for accomplishing them. I’m fallingContinue reading “Revisiting New Year’s Goals”
