I can pretty much write something about anything. Most who know me, know I've written short stories about a bit of everything. Could I write about a box of Kleenex? Yes, and I actually have a short, fictional story about one. Today's thoughts are about butterflies. I am intrigued by them and the symbolism surrounding... Continue Reading →
My Sketchy Green Thumb
Ah, the title of this post speaks for itself - this year's garden attempt has produced four jalapenos, six cherry tomatoes, eight garlic bulbs, some rosemary and thai basil, and today we'll find out just how many potatoes grew, but I'm certain that the yield will not support the cost. I can tell you I... Continue Reading →
My Dying Garden
I have determined that I do not possess a green thumb and think I'm finally ready to acknowledge that the grass truly is greener on the other side, because that's where it's watered more. There's an age-old lesson to be learned from this that applies to life and relationships and perhaps I'll dwell on that... Continue Reading →

I always seemed to be the one to... Continue Reading →
God and Garlic
After my ever-present coffee, church was next on my agenda. My takeaway from the service today was about being the person who bears fruit.

Hot Weather, Yard Work, & Christmas Music
Well, we put it off and put it off (and put it off), because of the heat Duncan has been experiencing, until today we realized our grass was taller than our sprinklers, so I geared up to do my part of the yard work in our weeks-long hundred-degree weather. This entailed putting on my sun... Continue Reading →
