  Here I am, comfortably ensconced in my seat on the couch. I have my legs up on a pillow that’s on top of the coffee table and my laptop on top of a pillow on my lap. I let the cat out about five minutes ago and had just uploaded three photos into t...
• I can’t keep it to myself any longer: on the use of it’s and its
  on May 20, 2013
  Every time I see it, I cringe inwardly. And then I quickly get over it because there are bigger things in life, and besides – the misuse of it’s and its is such a common error. But there are people out there who don’t get over it so quickly, an...
• Tears and fears and feeling proud
  on May 18, 2013
  It’s Saturday afternoon and the clouds have taken over but I don’t mind. They suit my mood and frankly, I think some rain would be lovely. I spent the day doing some badly-needed spring cleaning and have the sore muscles to prove it.  But at...
• Thursday evening
  on May 16, 2013
  I am half-heartedly watching the finale of The Office. It’s never been my favorite TV show but I enjoy it now and then. I think it makes me too uncomfortable sometimes.  I fell in love with John Krasinski through this show, and he’s one of t...
• On bluebirds and other matters
  on May 14, 2013
  Late Sunday afternoon, I poured a cocktail, grabbed my camera and the long lens, and took a camp chair own to the fence line to sit by one of the bluebird boxes where I’d seen some action going on. I wasn’t out there very long, so I didn’t cap...

• Ode to Saturday
  on May 11, 2013
  It’s Saturday – glorious Saturday. And I couldn’t resist one more picture of the lilacs from this season. They’ve been finished for about two weeks now, but I can remember them just by visiting the folder where I keep their images. I was busy...
• The legend that is Vivian Maier
  on May 9, 2013
  I first heard of Vivian Maier a couple of years ago while watching the evening news, but it wasn’t until today when I came across a link on Facebook about a documentary coming out this year on her life and the discovery of her work that I really be...
• From my experience, it just doesn’t seem to make sense
  on May 6, 2013
  I had a weekend that was full of ups and downs. I went to Baltimore with my son on Saturday morning in a rented U-Haul to pick up a sofa that I purchased from my niece. It’s a nice piece and only a couple of years old and I had hoped to replace our...
• To better days
  on May 2, 2013
  It’s the early evening of what was an incredibly beautiful spring day. A ball game is on the television and my husband is on the couch half asleep listening to it. The crazy male cardinal that’s been banging against our living room window for the...
• Weekly Pinterest Finds
  on Apr 30, 2013
  I keep my Pinterest perusing to a minimum because I'm afraid I could get lost on there forever, and there are so many other things I could be doing (none of which is cleaning, by the way). When you look at beautiful things, your mind slows, you feel...
• The peace of wild things
  on Apr 29, 2013
  One of the reasons that my posting has been so sporadic was directly related to my husband’s health, and the stress that goes with it all. Things are better now, and both he and I have adapted to the new changes but for a few months, I had begun to...
• Gather quickly, out of darkness
  on Apr 28, 2013
  What a beautiful weekend it was here in northern Maryland. Our eldest son came into town for our school’s alumni banquet and on Saturday, we went to visit my beautiful niece, her husband, and their new baby girl. Saturday morning dawned brigh...
• The front door to springtime
  on Apr 24, 2013
  I’ve  been at a loss for words lately and apologize for that. I’m hoping that these few images taken over the weekend will suffice for now. I have not been a good blogger this year but rest assured, I’m still here, and I’m going to keep...
• Random 5 Friday – on Saturday
  on Apr 20, 2013
  I am linking to Nancy Claeys at A Rural Journal for her Random 5 on Friday where she invites readers to share five facts about themselves, their pets, kids, whatever they’d like to share. I’m a little late to the party because it’s already Sat...
• Only for you
  on Apr 16, 2013
  I’m writing a somewhat random post this evening, while giving a solemn nod to the families of those who lost their lives or were injured during the tragedy at the finish line of the Boston Marathon yesterday. I just don’t understand the hatred. &...
• My weekend
  on Apr 14, 2013
  My weekend consisted of many things, most of them small things. I woke early on Saturday and had the house cleaned (the downstairs) and was showered by 11 am. It felt very good to have a clean home, especially since company was coming. Here’s what...
• Weekly Pinterest Finds
  on Apr 10, 2013
  Probably due to my sporadic posts of late, I have received several e-mails from regular readers asking if I've been ok and I promise you that I have. Really! Please note that I rarely use exclamation points. It's just been a tough year so far, that's...
• Book Review: Blue Jeans and Coffee Beans
  on Apr 9, 2013
  I was recently asked to write a review for a blog Publishing Tour for author Joanne DeMaio and her book, Blue Jeans and Coffee Beans. The author’s website asks you to “Escape to Stony Point, cuff your jeans and walk along the water’s edge in th...
• Project 12 - A Sunday in Maryland
  on Apr 7, 2013
  I am linking up with Karen at This Old House 2 for her {Project 12} segment. I hadn’t actually planned on doing this, but at the end of the day, while editing photos to use in this post, I realized that I had been chronicling my day with images, an...
