How Petty Should We Get?

Is it Valentines Day?  I am notoriously bad with holidays so please forgive me for mot picking a sweet lovey topic for today's post.

While I was on my 'vacation' from the blog and since I came back I've noticed that the most popular post I've ever written is "Let's Get Petty", about my search for a natural way of dealing with actinic keratosis.  Well here's a new round in the saga.  Just how much petty spurge sap should one use?

Mindful Monday

The ground, new worked, moist

and yielding underfoot, the feet

comfortable in it as roots.

Gettin' Trashy with Joe

What?!?  A guest writer on my blog?  Well, actually I hope it happens more often.  And this one is so nice because he comes from within my own four walls.  So, Get yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea, and settle in for a nice long read, compliments of my sweet hubby, Joe Schanel.

Mindful Monday

Laundry is a very contemplative act.

It lets you get all the dirt out.

Some Frost for a Frosty Day

The chance is the remotest
Of its going much longer unnoticed
That I'm not keeping pace
With the headlong human race

And some of them may mind
My staying back behind
To take life at a walk
In philosophic talk;

Making Good Choices

If you woke up to a beautiful sunny Sunday morning in January that was predicted to be in the mid fifties all day, what would you do?  What if on that same morning your sinuses felt like they were blocked up with cinder blocks and your head felt as if were solidly encased inside of a fishbowl?  What would you do then?

To Blog, or Not to Blog?

I'm a little fuzzy headed with an oncoming cold today, so I will blame any incoherence in this post on that.

Some of you may have noticed that I have been on vacation from writing for a while.  And today's post is no guarantee that writing will continue; it's more of an experiment.  I suppose the first thing folks will want to know is what's been going on around the farm so I'll start there and see where we go.
