Getting Serious


Am I serious enough about this to treat myself to a little Mac? Something that will leave me NO EXCUSE for not writing. I've spent the last few years telling myself that my time is better spent reading, but I am never happier than when I am writing something that brings me closer to myself. But if that's the goal, why a blog?? Why not. I am going to the Apple store tomorrow and we will see where that leads. In the meantime, here is a picture of the lemon meringue pie I made to make me think of springtime when the weather is refusing to do its part.

Here it is - my teensy bouquet of frittalaria. I didn't feel hopeful about these bulbs and planted them in a neglected (that is, even more neglected than the rest) area of my garden/woods. What a perennial delight and surprise that they perservere with a few blooms every spring.

Wine flash

It can't be good to have a wine flash that feels like a hot flash with just a touch of nausea. And then I get all self-righteous. "Is this the benefit I derive from watching my calorie consumption all day long just to have a single glass of wine followed by this college reminiscent feeling of 'wow, where did this ick come from?!???!'." Time to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and remember the days when a glass of wine had no effect at all......

Beginning again....

Hmmm......writing is something I am drawn to, but terrified of. But of late, I've been inspired by photography of simple beauty on other websites. That is where I will begin again. Today I took photos of frittalaria in the sunlight. Once I can figure out how to upload, they will appear here. That will be my inspiration to begin again........
