Pictures of the End of Winter (hopefully)
These photos were taken by the elder stidkid yesterday. Not much snow left then, it’s now raining… and wet is the word of the day.
Valentine’s Day
It’s late on Valentine’s day. I have been too sick this week to finish the valentines as I had hoped, which really bothers me because those cards are the most fun to make. The more glitter the better, and if you can fit some lace or ribbon on too, do it! Oh well, I have […]
Something Blue
Something blue… blue skies, blue eyes, blue berries! The picture above is of the bushes that have been heeled in “temporarily” for about 8 years.

Apology Day? A Great Idea!
This article from the BBC has a wonderful concept. What would it take to make something like this really happen?
Something Old
We are coming up on Valentine’s Day, and everywhere you look in the United States there are posters and reminders that we need to tell someone special that we love them… It’s supposedly all about love (and not about commericialism, which is a good topic for a different post). I might have mentioned (once or […]
