Isn’t that what we’d all love to do? Get rid of those awful fat pockets stored all over our body? Shudder!!! And where in the world did they come from? I’m 5′ 5″ tall, and up until I hit about age 40 or so, weighed 120 or under….in fact, in my 20’s and 30’s I averaged around 115, a bit too light for my height, but my metabolism burned calories faster than I could pack them on. Then, the dreaded…

The pine cones are falling off the trees right now, but they’re different somehow than I’m used to seeing them. They’re very green, rather than the fully formed, prickly, brown ones typically scattered across the lawn. While mowing a few days ago I started grabbing green cones and pitching them, only to discover my hands covered in the stuff….pitch, that is. Every single cone was oozing the nasty sap and I had to use fingernail polish to remove it. Fast…

Today I’m spotlighting Erin Rainwater’s new release, Refining Fires. JoAnn Durgin, Amazon reviewer, has this to say: In “Refining Fires,” author Erin Rainwater breathes new life into Christian fiction with her wit, humor and charming expositional style. This book departs from traditional romance storytelling in a unique way. It’s well worth your time, and is money well spent. So many Christian books these days focus on the angst and drama in life. “Refining Fires” offers the perfect balance of elements…
Summer Vs Winter…Are you a snow bunny or a sun lover? This is a typical summer day at our house. My dogs are outside enjoying the sun and the grass, and I’m working in my flowerbeds and garden. It’s warm, beautiful and enjoyable. Now, jump to the picture below…… I don’t take many pictures in the snow, so this is the front yard up against the fence, not where the flowers were, but about 30′ away. Now you tell me,…
I don’t have a picture of this one because, well….I was lying flat on my back and in no shape to take a picture. It started with my decision to stop at a U-pick orchard to get a bucket of cherries. It’s at the tail end of the season (that’s already running late due to a delayed summer/heat). So, all the fruit that could be picked from the ground was gone, leaving only what could be reached from a ladder….
What a day! It started out innocently enough but by bedtime I felt as though a cyclone had hit, upsetting my emotions and pummeling my body. See the little dog in the foreground? That’s my 7 lb. Chihuahua, Lacey, and her sister Bella (with the floppy ears). My two cats are in the background. Two weeks ago today Lacey decided to escape and run down to my daughter’s house whose property adjoins ours. See the crack between the wood post…
