madKnews: Joy June 24

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/06/joy-june-24.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Well, I did it again - got so busy I did not have time to post my joys. I'll reach back to the weekend and add what has happened since to bring me joy. I did some decluttering in the house - a never ending goal - and got rid of some things that should have been gotten rid of years ago. Joy!

madKnews: Joy June 17

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/06/joy-june-17.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. I've been too busy to post so I'll have to make up for it. What has given me joy recently? This past weekend I finished a few knitting projects - golf club covers for my brother-in-law,. A wool tea cozy for my sister,. A baby blanket for a niece who is expecting her first child,. And a scrapbook page incorporating valentines from The Man the past couple years (sorry, no picture of that one). Or just a commissioned one? 2 Things @ Once.

madKnews: Joy June 18

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/06/joy-june-18.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. My biggest joy is the weather. It is been and will be hot and humid all week - the kind of weather I hate the most - but today it finally rained and stormed which means the garden got a good watering and weeds will be easy to pull. And it cooled off a bit. Also, I tried my hand at painting a stormy sky. Not quite what I'd aimed for but I'm pleased that I made the effort.

madKnews: September 2013

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Monday, September 30, 2013. A while ago I blogged about my garden and specifically about potatoes. I harvested my potatoes yesterday. Not a bad return for a crop that required little more than cutting up some potatoes and tossing them into a tub full of dirt. I'm hoping I missed a few and will go tater digging again in a few days to see. This may be the beginning of a beautiful relationship . . . with my potatoes.

madKnews: January 2015

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Friday, January 30, 2015. While reading another blog recently I noticed a post about the blog's anniversary. It hadn't occurred to me that a blog would have one but of course, just about everything has one - books, movies, world events - and I set out to find the anniversary date for my blog - January 30, 2007. So today, it's 7 years old. I still prepare and mail the newsletter but only at holiday time (read Christmas), along with my Christmas cards. It was ne...

madKnews: August 2013

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. I haven't posted much about my garden, mainly because once it gets hot I tend to stay inside and let the weeds grow. Which they have. So here we have the first fruits of the garden. Hopefully there will be more. Quotable quotes; in the category I Could Have Told Him! It Was The Squirrel!

madKnews: Still???

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/10/still.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Thursday, October 16, 2014. See the post about the orchid? That thing is STILL blooming. Not blooming new blossoms, although it increase almost double from the picture shown - no, the blossoms are still on the plant and still looking fresh and vibrant. To be sure, a couple have withered and dropped but I have never had an orchid stay in bloom so long. It makes me happy every time I look at it.

madKnews: July 2014

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Thursday, July 17, 2014. My in-laws sent me an orchid in a pot. I had grown several orchids over the years, most of which languished and died when the blooms faded. An orchid I found on a clearance shelf at the home improvement store somehow lasted for years and bloomed again and again. At length, it too perished. I photographed it when there were but a few blooms but over the next week or so more buds bloomed until there were many. At least five or more. ...Paint...

madKnews: June 2014

http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Monday, June 30, 2014. Joy June - Last Day! Like Lemony Snickett, I suffered a series of unfortunate events recently. My joy is that I survived! I met a friend for lunch (joy), something we had been planning but which kept getting derailed by our schedules. I locked my keys in the car. YAURGH! So in spite of some setbacks, I am able to find joy in things after all - perhaps the most joyous part of it! If anything can go wrong, it will." Murphy's Law. Quotable quot...
