Small Joys–Favorite Movies!
These are two of my favorite movies. I’ve watched each at least ten times. I love the “teenage angst” and sweet love story of DAN IN REAL LIFE, and I also love the “good guy wins” theme of THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. It doesn’t hurt one bit that the actors in each are fabulous! What are…
Eastern European Research Trip – Horses!

For summer I tuck a few annuals in a bed by the front sidewalk, but otherwise only put tubs of them on our back deck.
Yes indeed, Carol! Hooray for melting snow. When we move sometime in the next month or so, I’ll be leaving my rock gardens, which will tug a bit at my heartstrings, but I’m looking forward to container gardening. I think that will be fun!
