Wednesday's Child

I am trying (with this picture) to channel positive thoughts to the carrot seeds in my garden.  Especially the purple carrots.  Please GR...

I like this one from 100 Cookbooks.  But it fits sizes 2 to 10.  Not me.  I like that it doesn't tie or wrap. I think it is imported ...

Today I had an Art Visit with my library friend.  We visited the Bowdoin Art Museum here in Town and saw the exhibit of Pers Kirkeby from...

For most of my life, before I started writing to you, I postponed doing the one thing I thought I wanted to do the most.  Paint.  Waterco...

The plants themselves are rather wild and not all that attractive.  The flowers?  Sublime.  I repotted my yellow and pink orchids last su...

The insurance adjuster dug around and found sound beams.  He also explained what happened as the moist air in a winter house traveled up and...

The carpenter and roofer were here.  We are now educated in STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.  Not the chimney or the cricket.  The Structural Integrity O...

G managed to get to the "cricket"-- a little tent shape that was added to the roof and butted up against the back of the chimne...

You may not find this as fascinating as I do, but, they are delicious.  This took way longer than expected.  When I read about it on Yell...

Are just about coming up.  The ground is more brown than white.  But it's cold.  The roofers came and put up a scaffold by the chimne...

Such a rush when Easter is this early.  So little time to sell all the lilies.  We are running out of everything at work.  Which is good....

The four day Open House weekend (Friday thru Monday) was just enough, though at times it seemed like way too much, to reset my body from ...
