I love working in my yard and seeing things bloom and colors everywhere. And so I probably jumped in too soon and bought a bunch of annuals to place around and compliment the soon to be busy forsythia and perennials just beginning to peekaboo. But then there was a frost. The beautiful red impatie

Monday was yesterday and tomorrow is Wednesday. Today is Tuesday and it is all I have so I am going to use it fully. I have a big list and I hope to hit it running. I am ever aware that life is fleeting and time is the most important component. So that said....off I go.

In my many years in real estate I learned early on that what people most wanted was to be listened to and really heard. So instead of opening with a formal presentation I asked what the people I was sitting across from could imagine as their perfect scenario. It was amazing what I learned from th

I am really ready for spring. Yesterday our temperatures didn't reach fifty but I bought eight hanging or potted baskets of colorful flowers anyway. Despite the winds and the relative cold I was happy to enjoy these flowers in my garden. It will be a bit warmer today but I am going to hold off un

I have a really nice neighbor who lives behind me. He used to work for a contractor I used and has always been kind and willing to help with the little things I couldn't do myself. He was able to put a screw into a chair I had that was otherwise usable. Perhaps I'll get another season out of it b

I live in a small town in western Massachusetts where the cast of animals seems endless. I had never seen a live bear until one was walking up the street a couple of years ago. There are fox, possum, wild turkeys, squirrels of every variety, deer, huge snapping turtles, wolves, coyote, and every
