Ahead of the game

Some months you feel like you get ahead….others you don’t. This month I feel like I got way WAY ahead! Fall decided to postpone winter slightly, and with Jason’s help our yard is 98% ready for winter (as Jason knows 98% is an arbitrary number that only gets infinitely close to 100% as I discover more projects). After raking on 3… Read more →

Happy 99th Grandma Myers!

After meticulously gluing all these two layered candles one at a time by hand, I had considered suggesting she save the card for her hundredth birthday and I’d just mail an extra candle.

Hello 100!

The past month brought a trip to WI to visit my family, and… Read more →

Rain Rain Go Away!

Apparently I’ve moved to the desert, where it rains…A LOT! Mind you it’s mid-June…average temperatures ‘should’ be in the 80’s and this weekend we had 55 and rainy all weekend (directly to blame for me sleeping all weekend). It’s rained every other day for what feels like weeks. This spring the weather sure has been unusual. Cold and rainy. On the… Read more →
