Just four months left of 2020. The end of summer is near and the leaves are turning where I live. The weather is still pretty hot but it’s cool in […]

I think it’s better that it is 2/3 of the way through this year and that the time is passing regardless of what is happening. I feel like every year […]

It’s normally around this time of year I want to plan things like get-togethers in the park, or an outing to the river we’ve taken my granddaughter to for the […]

I’ve been out of the house 2 times in the last 12 weeks. I’m both happy and scared about things reopening. I don’t know how things will ever be the […]

I have some nice recipes to post for this month. I’ve stayed put, determined to ride this out, and make the best of things. I’ve been cooking and baking nearly […]

March is carrots, carrots, carrots! I have 3 lovely carroty recipes to post and a few other things to share this month. Mmmmm, carrots! The weather in California is crazy. […]

I said I wasn’t going to do first of the month “what’s happening” posts this year, and that’s not what this is. It’s more of a, “I’m super busy and […]

I’m not sorry to see the end of 2018. Surely things will be better in 2019? I know, I know, don’t call you Shirley. You’ve watched Airplane to many times! […]

The last month of the year and my last Stuff & Things post of the year. I wish I could think of something to write but I don’t feel inspired […]

So, we are in the full swing of Fall now and I love the smell of burning leaves on the cool air in the afternoon. I like that it’s finally […]

I think I like the last 3 months of the year the best, and October kicks it all off. Cooler weather, beautiful fall leaves, and apples! I know that October […]

It’s was unusually cool for most of August, no real ‘Hot August Nights’. I think it was mostly because of the fires in California. It’s been pretty awful. They’ve affected the […]

After my huge hiatus, I finally got back on the blog horse. Why was I gone so long? My health, loved one’s health, work, family, having other priorities. You know what […]

I’m so happy to see October! It’s definitely one of my favorite months. I mean, autumn is the best time of year, but October is the best month of autumn […]

Two months until Halloween, three months until American Thanksgiving, and 4 months until Christmas. Or in other words, Happy September! Last month was a bit of a rough month, I’m […]

This month my granddaughter turns 10, it’s crazy how fast the time has gone by! This year, the last 10 years… just flying by! It’s crazy, isn’t it? It seems […]

/> Half the year gone! Seems crazy, but this year is flying by regardless of what is going on with me. Oh, and this is what is going on with […]

June! The weather in California is really nice right now, not too hot during the day and nice and cool at night. I wish it stayed like this, but it’s […]

April in my part of California has been a mixed bag of beautiful sunny days and crazy windy stormy days. Now, the first day of May is here and the […]

I got sick in the middle of last month, really sick. Like, stay in bed for a few weeks sick. In fact, I’m not totally ok yet. I’m worn out and […]

Spring is nearly here and my March 1st Every Day Drawing Challenge was to do a sign of spring. I decided to use that for this post. It’s not fancy, […]
