How Does Your Garden Grow?

When I casually mentioned to my friend that I had been asked to teach a preschool gardening class, she nearly fell of of her chair.  When she finally stopped laughing long enough to breath, she gasped out, “YOU! Do they know about you? Did you tell them??”

A Cat of a Different Color

“Don’t you think Buddy looks exactly like Morris?”  my husband asked me as he sat stroking our enormous purring  orange fur ball.

Woe Is Me

I don’t know if I mentioned it or not, but my Beloved Laptop has been giving my some major trouble lately. It started innocently enough when the battery started to die. I could no longer happily sit using my laptop while the girls were doing their late afternoon activities. I could understand that, it was [...]
