April Yard Work

I’m under the weather right now but that seems almost appropriate, as Mother Nature seems to be under the weather, too. I think she has a bad cold–how else could she explain my driveway and yard? Normally in April the people in my small Atlantic Canadian town don light jackets and sneakers and tackle the […]

Is Romance Devolving?—50 Shades vs. No One Puts Baby in a Corner

Nothing says I love you like predatory emotional manipulation, sociopathy, abuse and non-consensual sex acts. Find…

It’s “All About That Bass” (Guitar)

…we will return to our regularly scheduled post after a word from our sponsor… “Happy Belated New Year, everyone!” I can’t believe that this is my first blog post in��2015. Where did the month of January go? Did it take me this long to recover from the usual December indulgences of too much food and […]

Sunday Snaps

Had a busy week this week…two family birthdays mixed in with all the regular stuff going on during the week plus still adjusting to the fall time change means I haven’t accomplished much at all lately. So many good intentions and plans made but no follow through…story of my life, especially these last few years. […]

Saturday Snaps

I went for a walk early this evening–decided I should take advantage of the warm temperature this lovely fall evening offered, and I was not disappointed. I was even able to wear my comfy summer sandals and a light fleece jacket (and I also wore pants–don’t want you to get crazy ideas about me), but the point […]

I’m Sittin’ On The Bed Of The Inn

“I’m sittin’ on the bed of the Inn, Watchin’ the TV screen flicker and dim, I’m just sittin’ on the bed of the Inn, Wastin’ time…” No no no…wait a minute. Those aren’t the lyrics that Otis Redding came up with when he co-wrote this famous song back in 1967 (sadly, only days later he died in […]

Dryer Lint, Hugh Laurie and Garbage, Oh My!

Here it is, the first Friday of October and what a gorgeous Friday it is. The sun is shining, the air is crisp and the trees in my area are turning the most glorious shades of red and orange and yellow. In fact, today is so lovely that I should be enjoying it on my cottage […]

How To Know If You’re Too Nosy

I have been nosy all my life–if you look up the definition of  “Nosy Nellie” it’s quite possible you could find a picture of me as the example used except that my name isn’t Nellie and I’m not particularly photogenic. But I am nosy. I admit to this vice without hesitation because I realize that the […]

One More Day

Sometimes poems sneak up on me, like a surprise thunderstorm on a sultry July day. That’s what happened this morning–I woke up with a possible poem line in my head–”If I could have one more day with you”. So here it is, still ragged and rough round its edges but determined to see life today on my […]

A Very Merry Seven Hundred and Thirty-Two Months To Me!

I  had my birthday this past weekend; I am now seven hundred and thirty-two months old. Yes, you read that correctly. I have decided to once again mark my time on this earth in months, the way that parents with children under the age of three track their offspring’s ages. “Our sweet Abigail is fourteen months […]
