Sometimes I love my job. (Well most the time, I really love my job.) But the times I really, really love my job (and am very thankful for all the professors who trained me and who researched the theoretical underpinnings and the thought processes I use in diagnosing and making [...]

We went to the farm yesterday. This is what we saw.

This is grandson David.  I’ve told you about him. This is the reason that you haven’t seen very many new posts on my blog. I’ve been really, really busy with David.  I’ve been working this summer, too. So, between David [...]

Blogging has taken a back seat to my little four-year-old grandson, David. He’s come to visit for a couple of weeks. And he’s my gardening partner. Helping me garden was the highlight of our day. (Just slightly less fascinating than sitting out on the front lawn watching the carpenter put [...]

The herb garden is [...]

When I moved from Idaho, I left behind the most beautiful garden. It was my garden. I even put a sign on it to remind my sweet husband not to mess with it. (LEAVE IT ALONE, LARRY, IT’S MY GARDEN. GO MOW YOUR GRASS.) I weeded it, planted [...]

The Bunny in the Garden, originally uploaded by Gail Coulter.
Well, I’m here, sitting behind my new desk in my new office. Laptop connected, at least while I’m in the office….no network connection yet in the apartment, so posts will be spotty. The trip was easy. I’m a little outside of my comfort zone, but that’s [...]
