"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, Summer is an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of all of them." Stanley Horowitz I love fall. I am that obnoxious person who puts up fall decorations on September 1st. I have always loved fall since I was a child. Raking...

Untie

I read a quote not long ago "Don't cut what you can untie". At the time, it just meant to not cut the pretty ribbon, to untie it and save it. I have a drawer full of ribbons, twine, cords and wire that I have untwisted and saved. I use most of them. Some I am saving...

Summer is in full swing. Every year, I hope we have a mild summer. Every year, I am wrong. But then again, I live in Texas where it is hot, especially in the summer. This past spring was glorious! We had lots of rain that brought on an abundance of wildflowers. Texas...

Roots of my raising

I was on my way to work early this morning, listing to old country music station. A song came on that I haven't heard in years. It was "The roots of my raising" by Merle Haggard from 1976. In 1976, I was graduating from high school and listening to the Eagles,...

Ebb and Flow
