A Hocking Hill's Garden: Wonderful Springtime
http://lonadawn7.blogspot.com/2015/05/wonderful-springtime.html
A Rainbow of Irises. Saturday, May 16, 2015. It has been so long since my last posting. I hope everyone has been enjoying their spring and that your flower gardens are growing by leaps and bounds. I think so many of my flowers in the flowerbeds are into the ‘third year and leaping’. Some of the beds I am afraid are beginning to look like small jungles. Tulips have come and gone. 8221;China Towne”. And so have the crocus. The primroses were so pretty and full this year. I have all my annuals collected tha...

Aging Gratefully: Speaking of dialects
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/11/speaking-of-dialects.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. I've been thinking about how much I love listening to and practicing accents. I think that some people are good at dialects and some aren't. I think it's a right brain/left brain thing, something along those lines. Just as some people can draw and some people can't. One summer we dug it out and spent what seems like weeks wheeling each other around in it. I remember holding on for dear life. So I wouldn't bounce out. As my sister rolled me across the yard. Me to bounce out.

Aging Gratefully: Gratitude, supplication, memory, respite
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/09/prayer-supplication-memory-respite.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. Gratitude, supplication, memory, respite. Thank you for all the tomatoes and corn and beans and parsley and basil and carrots and cantaloupes and all the rest of it. And thank you for the good Husband who sited the garden so it got watered naturally and plentifully, and sun from rise until set, so that each plant has, completely naturally, begotten more fruit than any of its kind ever before in the history of the Earth anywhere. I am ever grateful for Thy bounty. And now the...

Aging Gratefully: Seasonal [and other] observations
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/10/seasonal-and-other-observations.html
Saturday, October 11, 2014. Seasonal [and other] observations. But none of them say ".woolly bear caterpillars." If there is one, I should avail myself of it. I have stopped picking tomatoes. I feel a little guilty about that, but I can pick no more. Husband has noticed the abundance of red globes remaining in the garden, and has brought in his own piles of the things. Sweet Young Thing, my new morning boss, is still a refreshing change from Jane the Tyrant. I do find, howsomever, that she is one of ...

Aging Gratefully: This Christmas
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/12/this-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. This Christmas season, I'm suddenly aware of the sumptuous luxury that surrounds me. I go through my days, month after month, not really taking note of the random comforts in my world, but I notice now. And once I begin to notice, I can't stop noticing. I'm grateful for Husband, who works energetically, tirelessly and mostly. Cheerfully, to improve our home and make it more efficient and warmer in the cold season and fruitful in the warm season. How blessed am I with all this.

Aging Gratefully: Giving thanks for surviving Route 10 after dark
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/12/giving-thanks-for-surviving-route-10.html
Sunday, December 7, 2014. Giving thanks for surviving Route 10 after dark. On Thanksgiving we went from our home, in the northeast corner of our county, to dinner at an inn in the northwest corner of the county. If a person were to research New York State Route 10, he could read all about where it goes and what other routes merge with it. All you really need to know, if you're going to travel on Route 10. Is that it is DA. No sidewalks, no bike lanes, no jogging lanes. And yet . . . and YET. Nothing, not...

A Colorful World: November 2014
http://daughterm.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Psalm 19:1- The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork. Sabino Canyon, part I. We decided to do the tram tour of Sabino Canyon recently and it was excellent! We hoped we'd see some birds or wildlife but that doesn't happen from the tram so I wasn't surprised too much. The scenery was great though. Sabino Canyon is a really gorgeous spot in North Tucson. I do present two bird photos here, as book-ends (the first and last shot) to this post for Bird d'Pot. Saguaros and ch...

Words of Wisdom from a Smart Mouth Broad: October 2010

Words of Wisdom from a Smart Mouth Broad. Friday, October 29, 2010. 8230;…aka EllieMae Clampett goes to the Big City. From the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building. Radio City Music Hall. This was my second trip to NYC and even though I haven’t spent a lot of time there, it is my most favorite city. If someone ever offers to take you on an all expenses paid trip to New York City, pack your bags and get yourself to the airport, PRONTO! Better yet, just say, “No, take SMB instead.”. I couldn’t re...

Words of Wisdom from a Smart Mouth Broad: August 2010
http://wordsofwisdomfromasmartmouthbroad.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Words of Wisdom from a Smart Mouth Broad. Monday, August 30, 2010. BUT NOT IN A CREEPY WAY….I SWEAR. One of my numerous SUPERPOWERS is my photographic memory. You’ve heard of people with photographic memories, right? There are individuals who live and breathe among us who have the ability to remember everything they see. They can look at a page in a book and remember what it said……forever. They can remember the license plate number on the get-away car. Grocery list? Finally during a lay-over in the Atlan...

http://wordsofwisdomfromasmartmouthbroad.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Words of Wisdom from a Smart Mouth Broad. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS. The bad news: I haven't been tracking my food intake for the last few days. The good news: I lost a pound. The bad news: I have diverticulitis. The good news: I don't have colon cancer. The bad news: I am on a liquid diet for the next few days. The good news: I will probably lose more weight. DR: “Absolutely nothing. I’m serious. If you drink even a sip, you can become very ill.”. SMB: “Not even water? SMB: ̶...
