Day lilies, even ditch lilies because they remind me of my grandmother, always make my day. They are all lovely, although they sometimes don't stick around for the photo shoot. Thank you for reading Photos: Jenn Stone Recent posts:
Every year I watch and I wait for the opportunity to skate on the lake. It didn’t happen last year. It doesn’t happen most years, but I knew there was potential this year since January, so far, had more cold than snow. I have been studying the progress of the ice surface for several weeks. … Continue reading Frozen Opportunity
Ten years ago today, according to my Facebook memories, I had a party, a book launch party to celebrate my one and only published book. I have to mention published because although I had written a lot of stuff, including a novel, a memoir, and some kid’s books, only one book was ever published. I … Continue reading Ten Years Ago Today
I thought of kayaking this morning. The lake was in its early calm state. Steam rolled over its mirrored surface. I had yet to have my first paddle of the season. I was long overdue. The morning was fall cool. I usually love fall cool, at least I do in the fall. Perhaps that is … Continue reading Cancelled Thought
I rolled out of bed just before nine o’clock and padded, well actually flip flopped, my way to the bathroom where I glanced out the window to see a skim of ice on the lake. It won’t last this time due to an impending warm spell, but a girl can dream, and it brings me … Continue reading One Day In December
In know. I know. What about first paddle? First paddle was a couple of weeks ago on a single nice day between days and days, a whole month of days, of fog and rain. It was nice and it was solo because I always like my first paddle to be solo. It was quiet and … Continue reading Second Paddle
I just don't understand boredom. Even retired, I don't seem to have enough hours in my day. I am never, and have never been, bored. As far as I am concerned boredom is a choice. As I child, I was the kid who knew how to entertain myself. Though I usually had a single good … Continue reading Don’t Ever Tell Me You’re Bored
It had been rather calm in the bitch's life as of late. Some people may even call it boring, although this bitch is never bored. Personally, she considered herself very content because her house was back to normal after a year of insurance claims and repairs. She didn't mind that this calm state didn't produce … Continue reading Just When She Thought The Bitchiness Was Waning
The bitchy ditz has once again reared her unfocused head. It is as if her brain has gone on vacation. I have covered this topic before and admitted to a full range of ditzy moments in a blog written last April. If you are interested, you can read about that here. Focus is a big … Continue reading In Need Of A Car That Talks
There wasn’t a word or a sign in over three years, but finally the infamous Mr. C arrived at your door just over a week ago. He decided it was your turn. Like the mafia Mr. C is stealthy, sneaking up on you and catching you unaware; delivering those two purple lines to let you … Continue reading When The Infamous Mr. C Arrives
We've all heard or read the quote, "Live this day as if it's your last." None of us know exactly where or when we first heard or read it. Nor do we know who originated it. I figure it was created by some self-appointed sage who now creates memes for Facebook with the constant goal … Continue reading That Last Day
No I am not leaving my husband. The Doc has put up with me this long, so now he is stuck with me. Plus he sometimes cooks for me, something I have always enjoyed. Instead I have left my yoga instructor, which is a bit like leaving your hair dresser. There is loyalty and guilt … Continue reading Going It On My Own
