August Garden Checklist
I find myself playing referee in my garden at the end of summer.
Sweet Dreams
Don’t you just love that pocket of time before waking up but still remembering a sweet dreams? I stay in bed a few minutes longer hugged by fond memories pictured in my dream. In dreams. all my senses are more than awake, turned up like a dial on a stove, stereo, or thermostat.
Papaya Salad
We stare at the papayas in the grocery store and don’t know what to do with them!
The Power of Blessing
My neighbor around the corner is an animal whisperer. I’ve never seen such devotion and tenderness. She has three adopted dogs, one cat, and one newborn kitten.
Zucchini and Fresh Basil Salad
This salad uses two in-season, hot summer, garden staples: zucchini and basil. It’s a recipe for when you’re tired of the basic dinner salad.
Time Passes By
There approaches a window of time when gliding on cloud ships, counting cloud bunnies, and surfing the cloud waves releases its tender hold on us and we fly on to another opportunity, another stage in our lives.
Mediterranean Pinwheels
You’ve already heard of tortilla pinwheels with cream cheese, ham, and cheddar. This is the “Sheila” version, but with a Mediterranean twist.
Converts to Thoughts and Opinions?
I’m going to try and address a thorny topic today, one that has permeated the public media.
July Garden Checklist
I was reminded by one of my readers not to forget about the monthly garden checklist! I have to admit that I’ve been distracted with fulfilling another reader’s request to share recipes using fresh herbs. Please keep the suggestions and reminders coming!
Paradox Puzzle
The gentle breeze tickles my legs, ruffling my gauzy skirt while at the same time, ever so slightly, but rhythmically rocks me in my back porch swing. My two cats languidly stretch out on the adjacent daybed squinting at me in purring approval at my choice about joining them for a morning cup of tea.
