I am getting better and better! Recently, my Doc weaned me off one kind of med and ramped me up on another, and for a while there, that was one mean bull to ride. 🙂 I managed to make it to the buzzer, though, and I might even be in the money. (Whole lotta rodeo...

I generally prefer to blog in the mornings, but today it just wasn't happening. I couldn't get online--until now, that is. I'm on a break from "Garrett" and munching on blue M&Ms. (Not a good thing. I quit smoking 3 months ago and my jeans are getting too...

That is the question.:)My plans for the weekend include writing, writing and---writing. 🙂 Probably some cooking and some art, too. Maybe I'll plant some daffoldil and tulip bulbs for next spring--I have some dandies on hand.The weather is blue-green, beautiful....

As I write this, a light rain is falling, and although the sun has ducked behind the clouds now, moments ago, it was shining right through the shower. It was an incredibly beautiful sight, and I tried to capture it for my Twitter page (twitter.com/lindalaelmiller),...

While I was out for an appointment yesterday, cousin Mary Ann filled the house with fat, lovely dahlias in pink and yellow--splendid zinnias in clusters--a glorious sight to see. We'd been discussing the state of the flowerbeds earlier--an embarrassment of riches, you...

The beagle-dog is on antibiotics, and much improved over the last 24 hours. (I'd tell you what was wrong with her, but believe me, ignorance is bliss in this case.) Suffice it to say, nothing serious and she's on the mend. Since she'll be ten on October 22, and is...

....when you've made other plans. John Lennon was certainly right about that.For instance, I planned on a full, uninterrupted day of writing today. The reality? Sadie-beagle has some kind of infection of the beagle-butt and needs to go to the vet. We're leaving in a...

I have always loved this time of year--there is an indefinable quality to the air or the light--or both--that seems so poignant to me. The drive along the Columbia River, toward Northport--for me that will always be the road home--turns spectacular during the autumn...

Is a beauty! You can get a look at it on my Twitter page. http://twitter.com/lindalaelmillerThere is a definite feel of autumn in the air, even though we're in line for more hot weather. There are more tomatoes and green peppers in my deck garden than I can rightly...

I have been plagued by computer problems for so long now that I seriously considered holding a drum ceremony and lighting sage-bundles to expel evil cyber-spirits. I was sure the place had to be haunted. Alas, the Geek Squad guy came on Sunday (yes, Sunday), and...

Abraham Lincoln once said that most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. I guess the simplest stuff is the easiest to forget.I've had a lot of great experiences in my life--and there are more to come. Still, I get the most joy from the simple...

According to Sister Sally, who is NOT a nun, she would have you know, I gave you a bad link for my Twitter page. It's:http://twitter/lindalaelmillerI am a Twitter pest--I post pictures of my dogs, my flowers and I am considering a shot of my Boeuf-B next time I make...
