My sister, Caryl, and I made our pilgrimage to put flowers on family head stones. We had to visit the grave yard in Post Falls, Idaho to put flowers on the graves of Caryl’s first husband, his father, and his brother. Then on to Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho (where we were raised, more or less) to visit [...]

We’re staying home!
Posted in Home on May 28, 2007 | 5 Comments »
We like to take the motor home to state parks in the summer. We try to make reservations for three or four days each month, in parks in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Reservations can be made nine months in advance – and believe me, if you don’t make them nine months in advance – you’ll be lucky to find [...]
Finally – bloomers!

The temperatures are still fluctuating here, between warm (low 70s) and cool (low 50s) days, but the tulips and daffodils are past now and some early bloomers are coming on.
Our two old lilac bushes are in full bloom. For about three weeks, we get to enjoy their beauty and perfume. Sure wish they lasted longer.
This [...]

This time of year, we get to see a variety of hummingbirds – and a LOT of them. From now until the flowers are all in full bloom, we will refill our feeders every other day. We have two front windows, with a ‘lighthouse’ feeder hanging in front of each of them, and a ’sunflower’ [...]
Bleeding hearts, or….

My bleeding hearts are blooming. I always think of my childhood when I see these flowers. And my sister, Caryl, and I never forget what we called them when we were kids! And still giggle and have to do this, everytime we see bleeding hearts.
I don’t know who showed us how to do this, but [...]
I’m Alive. Barely. And I need help.

As I mentioned before, we came home to a mess that entailed a LOT of work on the house. And since T and I seem to have suffered some temporary form of brain damage – as we elected to redo the upstairs while we we at it! You know, painting, putting down new rugs, floors, etc.
OMG. I [...]
I wanna dig in the dirt!
Posted in Home on May 2, 2007 | 14 Comments »
I started these seeds in the house ten days ago, as it’s a little cool for outdoor planting.
Now they are this size and just looking at them makes me want to go dig in the dirt. But I haven’t got the time – or the weather.
Since we came home from ‘South for the winter’, to a mess [...]
