  • I did it!

    It’s the last day of NaBloPoMo and I have manged to post something for everyday this month. It was fun the last few days were the hardest because my job actually expected me to work for a change. Which limits my blogging time. I’m going to keep trying to post every weekday.

  • Bulb Project 2007 1 month

    A month ago I started my first attempt at forcing bulbs. I bought Paperwhite bulbs at the local hardware store and carefully placed them in a vase of pepples and water. I then placed it on a sunny windowsill. Now a month later, it’s getting so tall and pretty. It’s even starting to flower. So…

  • Lady Beetle

    I was doing some gardening when I cam across this little guy. My boyfriend was joking and telling me not to touch it that it might be some rare lethal beetle. But I was relieved to find out that these are called twice stabbed lady beetles and are totally harmless.

  • The Morning After

    Yesterday was a big success. I avoided the malls and shopping frenzy and stayed home today. The best part of the day after Thanksgiving is that you can have pumpkin pie with your morning coffee. Yum. Here is a picture of last night’s dinner. We had turkey, cranberry sauce, squash casserole, potatoes, and crescent roles.
