Free Art for the Taking

Free Art for the Taking

Thursday, October 21, 2010 in Decorating, Home

Sometimes I’m really ridiculously proud of something I’ve created. And that pride leads to me being a little obnoxious. Maybe a lot obnoxious, depending on how much you like me (or don’t). In this case, I took a photo of a flower out in the backyard, and within an hour it was up on my [...]

Chives and Bees, Chives and Bees!

Wednesday, May 19, 2010 in Garden, Home

A couple of months ago, I got my big girl camera. A Canon Rebel T1i and oh, people. This thing is fun. I haven't done much with it yet. I can tweak here and there, but mostly I put my budget-friendly and so-worth-the-money 50mm f/1.8 lens on and just snap away. I can't wait to [...]

A Cat and His Nip

Thursday, May 13, 2010 in Garden, Home

Allow me to introduce you, officially, to Tigger. Tigger is high.   Tigger has officially discovered the catnip in the herb garden. He's even been fighting off other cats for the rights to his stash. (He's discovered that it's not easy to fight off doped up cats, however, so the key is to guard proactively [...]

Escape to Arizona

Monday, February 15, 2010 in Exploring, Life

I'm not sure I could state anything any more obvious than this, but: Seattle winters suck. Really suck. Gray. Dark gray. Drizzly. Soggy. Everything is a constant state of damp, for months on end. Don't get me wrong – much of spring, all of summer, and most of autumn more than make up for the [...]

My Frosty Garden

Monday, December 7, 2009 in Garden, Home

It's coooolllddd here in Seattle. Yeah, I know it's winter and that cold thing does tend to happen in the winter, but Seattle winters tend to be fairly mild. We're hardly San Diego, but we don't usually spend too much time below freezing. The past few days, we've experienced our first morning frosts of the [...]

The Garden’s Last Breaths

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 in Garden, Home

Now that it's October, I can no longer remain in denial. Fall is here. What a terrific summer it was, though. We had amazing sunny weather here in Seattle, from June on. The gardening season was phenomenal. We couldn't have picked a better year for our rookie garden. But it's time for our little garden [...]
