Easter Branch

Cute huh.

A catalpa branch flew off and landed in the backyard of our apartment-house. I think it makes a nice Easter Branch, to go with the rest of my Easter Shrine.

Boy it’s been a busy week! There are lots of things I’ve wanted to post for you but other things have been happening like moneymaking work, enjoying the gorgeous weather, lunch out with my Honey, visiting my mom and dad, gardening, and resting my still-healing body.

Anyway, here are some pictures of what’s happening in my garden — and also my parents’ yard, where my garden is located. Lots of stuff is popping up in the garden — turnips, lettuce, spinach, arugula, radishes, bok choi, and probably others by now, too.

So Much Snow!

February 4, 2012 / Lindsey / 5 Comments

We’ve gotten well over a foot of snow since Thursday night! If you’ve hung around here long, you know how much I love the snow, and especially these big blizzardy storms. What fun! Snowfall is so peaceful, too. As you can see below, we can hardly even see out our living room window anymore. I really like being snowed in!

And I love the indoor time — we’ve been rearranging some things in our apartment and I’m loving the new energy that comes from shifting stuff around. Plus, working diligently on getting rid of more stuff. Among other things, I organized the pantry yesterday and am enjoying it each time I open the door. It feels so good to be getting a handle on our house! It seems like when my illness got really bad in April, time stopped. When you’re so sick you feel like doing absolutely nothing, guess what? Absolutely nothing gets done! Huh. So I’m finally picking up projects that I had started in early April, which then got basically frozen in time. It feels great to be continuing them in earnest once again! And the crap that has piled up in the house in the space of 10 months… it feels so good to finally be addressing it.

I hope you all are having a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Tomorrow we’ll head to my parents’ place for the Super Bowl. It’s all about the food, the commercials, the company, and yeah, we might even watch a little football too…
