Singing
So I wrote a long post on this subject about a week ago, and then decided it was more appropriate for my journal than this public blog. But I’m going to include some of my thoughts here now, because I’m really interested in your opinions. I rarely ask for comments (though I always appreciate them)…

Garden thoughts
This week has been glorious! The last two days have been in the 70s and the sun has been brilliant and intense, like it hasn’t been in months. The grass is greening up and the trees are budding. My daffodills are getting ready to bloom. The morning is orchestrated by birds. I saw my first blue…

Scotter's a walker!
Yesterday, I was cooking when out of the corner of my eye I saw Scotland walk from one bank of cabinets to the other. What, Scotland has never chosen to walk of his own accord. Apparently, it was his test run, because he’s been walking all over since. It’s funny because the night before I was…

For a laugh. . .
I’m not sure why, but this really cracks me up.

Review
I don’t do a very good job of covering what Tom is up to on this blog. I want to be better at including his side of the story. However, I can’t resist documenting this “review.” Cameron McIntyre one of the leader researchers in the field of deep brain stimulation described Tom this way in…

Truth
I’ve been thinking a lot about how one determines truth. Absolute truth. Unchanging truth. Over the last few weeks I’ve read conference talks by men I believe are prophets and apostles. I’ve perused various websites written by religious academics and religious skeptics. I’ve read the scriptures. I’ve talked to people I trust: my husband, my…

Flings
I’m prone towards “flings.” Two years ago it was gardening. I started a blog, I spent all my birthday money on gardening stuff, I read obsessively about all things green, I experimented with botanical photography, I spent all my free time outside. . . This year, it’s nutrition. I’m an avid reader of Word of…

Ugh!
Scotter and I have both been sick for the last two weeks. Scotter just finished up his round of antibiotics, but still seems to be suffering from something- as he’s still clingy, easily upset, and isn’t eating well. I have the worst sinus congestion I’ve ever had. We’re talking: I can’t smell, and my taste…
