Well my peas are up and need something to climb on. Today I put up pea fence and the Spring has turned out great with all the rain. They are growing like crazy. Peas are one of the things I can eat...

I skipped church today because I wanted to avoid the mother's day extravaganza. Still, most of the day, I had to listen to the whoop-de-doo going on with the families at the church next door, which...

Two nice days in a row. This calls for an uptick in upbeatness.

Well I started out the day planting some herbs and cleaning out the garden. It was nice to be outdoors even though it was raining. Perfect day for planting herbs though. Then I got the sewing machine...

I am as dreary as the outdoors today. Doesn't help to see snow falling again. I will keep 5% of my upbeatness since the scale won't let me go any lower than that, and I don't want to be at zero. That...

It is a beautiful sunny day today but very windy and cold. I have a fire going in the furnace, yes I still use fire to keep warm in the year 2015. In grade school we were told atomic energy would be...

I hate to sound downbeat but it is snowing, hard, huge clumps of flakes pouring down. The ground will soon be covered. I just got used to seeing something other than white and gray. I am not pleased.

The morning truly looked like a spring morning. Green grass, light rain, buds just coming into leaf, the air was warm, it smelled clean. Water droplets hung from everything; a faint misty background,...

I smiled at a couple of ducks today.

I put them off as long as I could.  Started figuring this morning, I make it a ritual. No accountants, or H&R Block. I do my own. I am terrible with numbers. I see them backward, forward and round...

The anticipation of an event is often the worst part of the whole experience. I, like many widowed women, was dreading the holiday of Easter Sunday. Sitting in church with my usual three feet of...

Called the guy yesterday and asked if I could take the beater for a test drive. Without hesitation, he says sure. I arrive at the place; he has some lady's car up on the lift. The lady takes one look...

The mechanic charged me 40 bucks all of which I had to pay in cash, so it gives you an idea of what kind of mechanic I am talking about.  Coincidentally too, I happened to have the cash, how...
