I thought that being self-employed meant never having to wake up to a note like this. My boss is such a slave driver. Don’t tell her, but I goofed off for a good 1/2-hour before I got down to business this morning. Shhhh!

Simple joys
After spending Sunday nursing my congested head, I decided Monday would be all about the simple things that make me happy: Breakfast in bed, with a good book. Using the summer napkins for the first time this year. A gentle breeze blowing in the window during a warm shower. Plenty of back yard privacy. Perfect […]

Someday, when I am feeling less congested, I will make myself a dainty little stack of handkerchiefs, decorated with pretty floral patterns, and keep them in my nightstand. For now, though, the box of Kleenex can see me through the remainder of these sneezy times.

Ah, spring. Things are blooming, windows are open, kids are bringing home trees-in-a-bag to plant. I love spring.

Felt like summer: wearing shorts to school, enjoying morning coffee on the back patio Looked like spring: a neighbor’s pink tree at the bus stop, our budding trees in the back yard. Tomorrow? 58 degrees and rainy. I guess April is back. As an aside, I totally think I need a pink tree in my […]

Good morning, from my coffee cup and me. This is the same coffee cup that, less than three minutes after this picture was taken, dribbled coffee down the front of my new white shirt. I’ve spritzed it with OxyClean and am crossing my fingers. Note to self: next time you sew a white shirt, don’t […]

My Underwood typewriter circa 1905. It no longer works, but it is the most often photographed (and heaviest!) piece of home decor we own. Mechanical pencils. Afternoons that are warm enough to spend on the front steps, eating pretzels and drinking root beer with the boys, after the school bus comes. Buttons: making them, hosting […]

Friday Flickr Favorites Hello, Friday. You’re looking beautiful today. Your blue sky is reminding me of Summer days. Ahh, those Summer days. Speaking of which, might I put in a request for the weekend? It sure would be nice to take a break from the colder-than-normal trend we’ve been seeing this winter, and have some […]
Read More: Hello, Friday.They call me Mellow Yellow
More Yellow Week. Did you know there’s a flickr group for this, too? I didn’t think I cared much for yellow until I started seeing some of the striking photos people are taking. I bought myself flowers two Fridays ago and they’re still hanging in there. Pretty impressive lifespan for a supermarket impulse buy. There […]
