an early tour of my garden
I’m going to work later tonight. We have an author event this evening. I spent the morning finishing up my plantings for the season. Five heirloom varieties of tomatoes, a pepper plant, yellow squash, thyme, chives and three varieties of basil. Local friends, anticipate the opportunity to share in this summer’s bounty.

wet dewey morning
It’s a foggy and damp Sunday morning in Tallmadge, Ohio. Greg and I are headed out to hike a couple of trails this morning. Horseshoe Pond in Peninsula is on our list.

I don’t think that there could have been a more magical and perfect place to be this morning than the annual organic plant sale at the Crown Point Ecology Center. It was our first visit there, and most certainly not our last. The large red barn was filled with a huge variety of vegetable, herb…

so much snow…
More snow is expected to fall today. I’m off work, a regularly scheduled day. I think I’m going to spend a great deal of it on the couch in front of the fireplace snuggled in a blanket with a good book. Well that is, after I get back from a Target run with my friend…

a decorated tree and fireplace
Greg was pretty awesome and assembled the Christmas tree and brought in all of the boxes of decorations while I was at work on Saturday. I spent the evening decorating the tree, a little differently this year, and decking the fireplace. Once again, there is glitter everywhere. Back to work this afternoon. When I return…
