Forget the backyard garden plot. Forget buying fertilizer and watering daily. Weeding? It’s a thing of the past. The gutter! It’s the new craze in gardening. No need to water. Great access to sunlight. Low up-keep! I am going GREEN! A few weeks ago, I looked upward when walking into my house and noticed green…

Give Me Your Best Shot, America
I have a confession to make. I didn’t take many pictures this week. It was just one of those weeks. When I went through my pictures from the last 7 days, I found some rather boring photos. I had the pictures of my gutters that desperately needed cleaning (the pressuring of my husband finally paid…
Simple Times
August 2004. Lake Tahoe (California side). Twizzler, age 3, walks to the beach. He figured it was easier to carry his bucket on his head than in his hands. I have always loved this picture.

This week’s MckLinky Blog Hop theme is Favorite Photo. Considering that I do a favorite photo feature every Friday and I tend to take tons of pictures, I figured that I’d include a couple of my favorite pictures from this weekend. I honestly wish I could spend every day at the pool. The weather lately…

Welcome, Welcome!
Welcome MckLinky Blog Hoppers! Looks like there are a lot of you out there. In honor of the very first blog hop, this week’s theme is Introductions. I feel like I’ve done quite a few introductions over the last few months. Like this one for my recent SITS spotlight day. Or this one for the…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Womenomics
My favorite shot of from this week is certainly not the most technically proficient or beautiful picture, although the women in the picture are both proficient and beautiful. This is one of those occasions when my favorite shot became my favorite because of the story and the memories behind it. There is a great group…
