• Something Gained

  

  I love how young people today keep a pictorial record of growth in their children. It’s stunning how much development can happen in so brief a time to someone who began so small. Kollyns just turned two months, and the changes have been astounding. She smiles now with regularity, and she’s learning to vocalize well. […]

• Dig A Little Deeper

  Why did I ever think I could become a gardener? We worked so hard at creating a beautiful garden in our front yard. Partly because we really wanted to enjoy that visual experience; partly because our local HOA was not happy with our messy yard.  Gardening isn’t a one-and-done experience.

• We’re Back!

  I am not now, nor have I ever been, a gardener. Working in the yard is one of those necessary activities that keeps the local HOA off our backs. We give them so many more things to grumble about as it is. We’ve been dealing with this patch of weeds/crabgrass/unwanted stuff in our back yard […]

• I Don’t Want To Get My Hands Dirty

  When presented with the opportunity to plant little growing things, I’ll pass. Every time. Not only do I not enjoy gardening. I’m truly lousy at it. The things I plant tend to die. Quickly. So when entering a meeting where repotting root-bound plants was the focus of our time together, I cringed. I valued the […]
