My last evaluation

As I continue to count down the days (45) left until I retire, I continue to mark the last time something happens.  Last week I had my last performance evaluation.  Last year my supervisor was an acting Captain.  In other words, he was temporarily assigned to my shift as the officer in charge.  He wasn’t [...]

Novice Gardeners

We bought lots of seeds for the new veggie garden but so far have planted only a couple of things…radishes and cosmos.  I also put in some plants…broccoli, brussells sprouts and lettuce.  The radishes and cosmos have sprouted, which is really exciting to novice veggie gardeners like us. Thanks for stopping by…

Some of this, some of that and lots of photos

I am behind on my Doodle Day and Today’s Title is… posts.  The most recent subject of Today’s Title is…Soft Comfort and here is my post. These two scarves provide me warmth and comfort when the weather is less than perfect.  The darker one was given to me as a gift a few years ago; [...]

I’ve been working in the garden, pulling weeds and grass, transplanting some stuff from Bill’s garden that was taking over. I put it on the small hill behind [...]

I’m trying, really I am

Most of the people that know me would tell you I am a pessimist and have a negative attitude. I can’t argue with that. I’m not sure when or how it started but the last several years have been very negative ones. I’m not unhappy. I have been divorced since 2000 and have been quite [...]

A productive day

I didn’t get any sewing done today, again, but I was productive. I returned home around noon after running errands in town. I had done some additional flower shopping earlier in the week and managed to get everything planted today. I planted the clematis earlier in the week and placed the new trellis Bill gave [...]
