Thoughtful people can disagree but words do matter and always will. When people have multiple faces then it usually comes down to truths. Once someone lies to me I will never trust them again and without trust there is nothing. We are living in trying times and the lies we hear daily are infectin

What do you do when you see something wrong, or watch someone take advantage of another or of a situation? I used to think about that a lot, no more. Now I speak up and act to right that wrong. Maybe it is age, or perhaps it is a function of feeling more secure, but I can not stay silent. Life is

I have had a busy but productive day today. I worked in my yard for several hours and then did errands, grocery shopping, stopped at my space in the antique gallery where I work on Sundays and then I voted. Since I was of age I have never missed an election, but this was the first time I ever vot

I have been working hard in my yard for a couple of weeks now. Every day I spend about three hours clearing and cleaning, plants, flowers and pots and relocating good dirt. Then after showering, I go to the dump with two or three huge bags. I think it will be another week before I am done but eac

Dogs are smart and aware. Monthly they get their Heartgard chews and like that but then comes the topical flea and tick treatment. Not only do they resist this but once they see one get it, the others are no where to be found....they scatter and disappear. Imagine going to give blood and watching

I have written about this before but every time I go I am moved and happy. Last year on Sunday Morning, I saw a story about Repair Cafes. To make a long story short, it is simply a bunch of people with various skills who donate their time to help others with broken or non working things fix them

Well it is over and not only didn't I win, I didn't even have one number. Bummer. I almost never buy a lottery ticket but when the payoff is big I am tempted. I have never won anything but I am ever the optimist. I think it is more about being part of the game than really expecting to score. Oh w

I have been having a week. It has been cold and windy and I have been working in my yard to try and get the last of the annuals out and wash and clean the pots. I spent hours yesterday and only made a small dent, so today I will work at it again. Once this is done there are still the perennials t

I now live in western Massachusetts. It is an area that is welcoming and beautiful. That said the weather of late has been really hot and humid so I was glad to see the first frost this morning. Now I can clean the pots of annuals outside and not feel badly. I have at least twenty pots to empty a
