This is a coffee pot post, when I write whatever comes to mind until my last cup of coffee is empty. I use these to document the everyday details of my life, my thoughts, my plans, my dreams. Sweep out the crumbs in my brain. When Sandy drove me home from the airport, he had…

Yes, I had to correct the word “morning” in my title because I see that it is now 12:13 p.m. I normally don’t drink coffee after noon, but I spent a glorious morning mostly sleeping. Insomniacs will understand. I got up at 9 to feed the cats before they started nibbling on me, went back…

Just realized that I never published the update from a couple of weeks ago, duh. So it’s a two-fer today. Except this one will have pictures. I spent a lovely breezy morning in the Back Forty, and pretty much finished planting the rest of the garden. Even though I pronounced that I was going to…

I blew right past blogging about my 52nd birthday and my 8th blogiversary. This will be a long post, I can see. Fortunately I have plenty of coffee and I’m not planning to go anywhere this morning. *** So, first I guess I’ll get caught up on the art retreat plans for the year, my…

Since Sandino Galore is out doing macho manly things with his macho manly friends, I have the pleasure of the house to myself, with only the sound of the washing machine and an occasional meow.

OOH OOH OOH! Getting closer to the Art-Is-You Petaluma retreat! Trying to stay positive and not sink into regret about the money impulsively spent due to the disappointment of India’s August workshop being cancelled. The vacation will be short for such a long trip – I leave on Wednesday, Sept. 19, spend three nights, and…

I remember the days when Labor Day meant work. I feel so lucky that I have a job now where I get Labor Day as a holiday. But I never forget that for the retail and restaurant workers in this country, Labor Day is a day of retail sales and shoppers going out for meals.…

I enjoyed this week, even with the brain zaps and the intense hot flashes and the excessive heat outside, because it was SO QUIET at work. My co-workers were out for various reasons and I had the office to myself and I caught up on my work. Then I reveled in the peaceful air conditioning,…

It barely qualifies as Saturday morning, since I slept late then went to the Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market, but I do have coffee. That market just keeps getting better. Susanne has set up a booth where she sells her books, marbled papers, and handmade papers, many made with materials from the other vendors’ farms or…

We have got to do better cleaning up this house. Miss Lucy’s asthma is acting up again. So I cleaned the kitchen and mopped the floor before I even started the coffee pot this morning. This afternoon I’ll tackle another room, and ask Sandy to check on the basement (it may be flooded) and fix…
