Come again some never day. Just kidding. Of course I know how much we need the rain, but I'm sure looking forward to growing, thriving things, and sunshine. Bring on the summer magic. It's a split pea soup kind of day. Maybe I'll throw together a batch of that. And...

I pulled a muscle in my lower back on Saturday morning, either setting down or picking up the dogs' water dish, I can't remember which. Not bad enough to go to the ER, thank heaven, but it sure did cramp my style. Since I don't have much to say today that doesn't...

I promise not to complain about the rapid passage of time--I know most people are thrilled when Friday rolls around, but I always think, Already??????My most recent book, "A Creed in Stone Creek", has sure been enjoying a wonderful run. My heartfelt thanks to all of...

I love it. Just the snores of the beagle snoozing on her bed here in the kitchen--not even the birds are awake yet, it seems. I could get used to this. :)I do have a little guilt where this no-news diet is concerned: I don't want to hide my head in the sand, pretend...

I think I'm onto something here, gang. I loved yesterday's news-free policy so much that I decided to try it again today. Okay, you can't avoid it entirely. I did see, when I logged on to this laptop, that Elizabeth Taylor had died. She was a beautiful woman, and...

Sitting here at my kitchen table, all I hear is the chirping of birds, along with the entirely normal sound of Sadie-beagle snoring on her dog bed nearby. Most days, there would be voices--from the TV. I usually switch on the morning news as soon as the first cup of...

I didn't spend the whole weekend at home--I went to KHQ-TV early Saturday morning to appear on a local program. As always, it was fun. All that getting ready (not to mention getting up early) for a minute and a half of air-time 🙂 Because I have a horror of being late...

That's what time seems to do these days. 🙂 Case in point? It's already Friday--again!I did find a green shirt to wear yesterday, you'll all be glad to know, so nobody pinched me, and had a lovely time with my friend, Jean Barrington, whom I've known since forever....

Well, it's St. Patrick's Day, and I'm racking my brain. Surely there is something green in my wardrobe. And shouldn't I be planning an Irish dish for supper? Corned beef and cabbage, perhaps? Instead, I'm meeting a long-time friend at a Mexican restaurant I've been...

It's gorgeous out this morning--the sun is shining and the sky is a heartbreaking shade of blue. Cha Cha kitty has been eating the pink tulips I received during my visit to Medical Lake's public library on Monday. It gives them a lovely, frilled look. 🙂 I got in a...

Here in Spokane, on this the Ides of March, we are blessed with rain. 🙂 The flowers and all growing things need water to grow and thrive, and I'm painting a giant sunflower, in very bright colors, to remind myself of that. When this mixed media picture is finished,...
