A number of weeks ago one of the lunar b*tches sent me information about a race she said she "wanted to work towards." Because this is the year I turn 50 and I'm committed to challenging myself in as many new ways as possible, I replied that we should do it - this year. At … Continue reading Training for Mother’s Day

Weather or not
It’s hard to deny that spring has sprung now that I’ve got two colors of crocus creating a riot of color in my front garden. I can’t say I’m unhappy about the premature arrival of what is typically the most fickle of seasons, but I can admit that I am more than a little uncomfortable … Continue reading Weather or not

I'm not a hoarder and I don't feel the need to accumulate much in life, happily sharing things … Continue reading Sweet love
