Now that I have had a chance to catch my breath from being in a somewhat disciplined frenzy last month, I’ve had some time to digest so much that I got from that experience. I learned so much from participating. I have to say that jumping into the experience must be much like diving off … Continue reading I Survived NaNoWriMo!
Scars, Fruit, and What Happens In The Process
I’m continuing part of the subject of my last post. Mostly the part about pears. We were getting a picture of the pears in the old bushel basket, first turning the top pears over if they had a scar or bruise on them. Later when I was talking to Mama and Daddy about it, she … Continue reading Scars, Fruit, and What Happens In The Process
One Of Those Things I Cherish
I got some more of that news that just “tickles me pink,” as the saying goes. On one of those calls just to visit on the phone with my parents, I asked if there were any pears. Daddy had said before that there weren’t going to be as many pears this Fall. So I thought … Continue reading One Of Those Things I Cherish

I can’t stand the thought of using empty fluff just to reach my quota … Continue reading Novel Writing Adventure

I look forward to seeing the combination of the green cedars and pines, along with the beauty of the colored leaves. We have golden yellow Hickory and Beech … Continue reading From Vibrance to Rest
Winterizing, Planning Ahead, and Family History
We just had our first significant “cold front.” By significant to our area of the Deep South, our temps dropped from almost 90 down to the high 40’s at night and around 75 in the day. As I was walking late in the day yesterday I noticed my legs actually felt cool before I came … Continue reading Winterizing, Planning Ahead, and Family History
Unfinished Projects
I don’t know about you, but one thing that has plagued me for the longest is having unfinished projects. Projects that I sincerely intended to complete in good time, but that I haven’t yet scramble in my mind and then clog any productivity without a lot of work and concentration. I have always been a … Continue reading Unfinished Projects
