Ah, how I love the first couple of hours on weekend mornings, when I am allowed to slowly transition from dreams to reality. Theo is playing by himself with a wine cork, and another cat, probably Miss Jazz, hisses from under the bed each time he passes by. I have not had another dream about…

Whew! Anyone in the southeast US can tell you – we have had ENOUGH rain from the remnants of Ida. I am afraid to look in our basement since I know from the last flood that our sump pump doesn’t work. But we actually did better than I expected then so hopefully we will luck…

It’s a real mess! Leaves and dying weeds everywhere. I pulled out a few of the many different vines that have taken over at the edges, such as honeysuckle, wild yam, morning glory, and ornamental grape, but my hand couldn’t take it very long.

This is the post where I write whatever pops into my mind until my little coffee pot is empty. I’m beginning late this morning because I decided last night that I would sleep as late as I felt like sleeping. I’ve had sinus problems all week and that drags me down considerably. Usually sleeping late…

I took two classes from L.K. Ludwig because I love her book Mixed Media Nature Journals so much and I couldn’t decide which class I wanted to take. She is teaching a monthly online photo journaling class – it’s not too late to sign up because it begins November 1! Take a look at her…
