That Will Teach Me
I threw several pots of Amaryllis in my compost heap because they hadn’t rebloomed in several years. This one decided it would bloom this year…in the compost. No, I’m not going to repot it because I’m too lazy!
Birthday Number 39
Next year will be the big 4-0!! Wow! It was a good day for a birthday. The weather was perfect and it was a holiday so Mr. SP and I were off from work. We started the day with a race. Look at my number!! It’s a good thing I’m not superstitious! I spent the…
Memorial Day Weekend
It’s only Sunday morning and I’m happy to report that this weekend has been wonderful. The sky has been sunny, the temperature has been warm, and the humidity has been low. I went for a run by myself on Friday. It felt good to run again after several days of tennis and other commitments. While…
SL@H Hurricanes
I love these! For winter they held layers of Hemlock cones and some sweet smelling pods that I bought at Buffalo Spring Herb Farm. For spring they had small eggs that were brown, dark green, or light green. One year for Easter they held jellybeans. Last summer they held sea glass. In the fall I’ve…
Summer
NINE more days of school! I can’t wait to get out and have some time to do exactly what I want to do. Mr. SP and I looked at the calendar last night and realized that we might not have time to take a vacation. That is SO depressing. We are going to the beach…
Snowball Bush
This is one of my favorite spring blooming bushes. I don’t have one and I really would like to get one started in my yard. Mama says that small ones come up around hers (suckers?) and that I can dig up one of those. Here’s Mama’s Snowball bush blooming on Mother’s day:
Horses!
Horses consumed my life from 4th grade until I went to college. I lived and breathed horses. The smell of a stable still is one of the best things in the world to me. My horse died while I was in college and that, along with having a waitressing job instead of a stable job,…
Mother’s Day Present from the Past?
The prior owners of our house lived here for 40 years. I like to imagine that this rose was a Mother’s Day gift from long ago. I’m not up for taking care of fussy plants like a rose. You have to love them when they bloom. This Rose bush gets no love and attention. No…
Favorite Self Tanner
I love this stuff! Using it gives you a very realistic light summer tan. The scent is light and not offensive at all. I’m very sensitive to smells and most lotions are too strongly scented for me. Not this one. If you are in the market for a faux tan, try this!
A Great Saturday
Today was full of activity. This morning I ran with my running buddy and then went to a tennis clinic. After the tennis clinic, Mr. SP and I played 3 sets of singles. He beat the pants off of me, but it was good practice. In the afternoon, I went to a show in a…
An Update
A week without blogging? That’s just too long! Here’s what’s been going on with me:Mr. SP (I’m going to call my husband that from now on) had to leave for an unexpected business trip last Friday. I was on my own until Tuesday. The time passed quickly, but I sure did miss him and was…
