Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Inside the front gate. I have been working on these three beds for a few weeks now in between heat spells. They were all completely overgrown and filled with weeds. I've trimmed, pulled, sprayed weed killer and then re-mulched all three and they finally look at least neat and clean. I grabbed every leftover piece... Continue Reading →
Deep purple Dahlia. My favorite.Lovely fuschias.Orange dahlias - these really love the heat, but the lavendar and even the deep purple look all burned and wilty 😦 I cut them back quite a bit today hoping they will recover since it has cooled.Blooming fuschia tree. They look like little bells! These plants have just loved... Continue Reading →
Posting this briefly from work since it is too hot to sit at the laptop at home. Darn thing gets all hot and then blows out hot air from it's side so the last thing I want to do it use it too much. Hence my lack of chatting and blogging and playing in Dkos... Continue Reading →
This cute little guy (the one on the bottom) will be home tomorrow night! Since I already posted one pic of him with a future Hall of Famer (Mike Piazza), I thought I would post his pic with the other one (Trevor Hoffman). Unfortunately I just got DS2s pop warner practice schedule and it is... Continue Reading →
OK, today would officially be the first day that I would normally turn on an air conditioner if I had one. It is over 80 degrees downstairs - I am NOT going upstairs!! The heat wave which broke on Tuesday has returned for the weekend. I made sure I was inside from my training walk... Continue Reading →

The major task in my department which was so beautifully streamlined and efficient (let's ditch all efforts at humility here and just say for the... Continue Reading →
I actually got serious about training for the three day at just the right time. Their website has a 24 and a 16 week training calendar. Nice. I have actually started out doing more than I needed to 🙂 They recommend alternating walks with cross training. I count Curves as the cross training. Apparently this... Continue Reading →
Did I have to pick the hottest summer on record to begin training for the 3-Day? Even though I am walking either before 10:00am or after 5:30pm, the heat is horrible. This morning was not too bad since I left my house at 8:30, arrived at air conditioned Curves at 9:10 and worked out there... Continue Reading →
The day is here. DS1 is 21. Hey - he can have his first drink! (I wish!)Of course there were times in the past 4 years when making it to 21 was in doubt. I guess that is a part of every teenagers development. Especially boys :-)Is he a man now? Wow. I don't know.... Continue Reading →
So Sunday night I am jolted awake by a sinus headache. Grumble. No reason for this. Not any hormonal time of the month, I've been avoiding milk - I don't get it! I can tell right away it is going to be one that will hang on too - no pain meds will really help.... Continue Reading →
