Yesterday I felt one of those urges to write about something that, in my prior experience, renders Blogland silent as the proverbial tomb, echoing with the sound of my “hello, hello, is ANYONE out there??”
No, not exercise. WRITING.
I started blogging because I love to write. Love it. Always have. Ever since I can remember (or at least [...]

It’s Raining.
And yesterday, it was fixin’ to rain, so I couldn’t get the Lakewatch photos I had hoped for.
I do have this, though.
Saved from my last photographic excursion. Sailboats inside the breakwater, downtown Milwaukee lakefront.
In pondering my post for today, I also ran across this photographic walking tour of our lakefront – photos of some things [...]

How Does My Garden Grow?
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed. — Walt Whitman
In our climate, Memorial Day Weekend is traditionally the official beginning of gardening season. The garden centers are jammed with folks buying their annuals, mulch, and assorted garden accoutrement, and by Tuesday lots of people are walking around stiff [...]

What’s for Dinner? Picnic Salads!
In honor of the beginning of summer barbecue season (never mind that we had to cover the tomatoes last night due to frost warnings), how about two yummy salad recipes?
First, a variation on Mom’s standard, tuna macaroni salad. This one went everywhere when I was a kid. It was always on our holiday tables, too, [...]

Why I Care.
It occurred to me after all the prior discussion on this blog about fitness in general, whether to write about it, whether some people hate the topic or just don’t want to talk about it, and yada yada yada, that it might not be a bad idea to share with you just a bit more [...]

To Knit, Perchance to Dream.
Why yes, I can slaughter Shakespeare with the best of them. Thank you.
Thanks to Angie, I just discovered Cast-On, Brenda Dayne’s awesome podcasts. This would have been news to you veterans maybe 3 years ago when she started out. Remember, I just discovered the wizarding world recently and ya’ll are still letting me in on all [...]

Janet Saves My Sunday Post
Janet tagged me with a meme that I’ve seen going around – I was toying with doing it, but now that she officially tagged me I’ll play along:
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Mothering a 1 and 3 year old, working full time as a litigator in a Big Law Firm (billing 2,000 plus hours [...]

On Living Simply.
All the hullaballoo about the crash of the credit markets following the subprime debacle, the shockingly high gas and food prices, and the general state of the economy has had me thinking some lately.
That’s hardly a revelation, I’m certain. Who isn’t thinking about it? But at times like this, that old story about The Ant [...]

Lakewatch, Deluxe Edition.
Today, for your viewing and educational pleasure, I bring you the signature sights of Milwaukee’s downtown lakefront. In the photo above, we’re looking southeast toward the 2001 addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum, designed by Santiago Calatrava. In the foreground, you can see some of the museum grounds, and as you look off beyond the art [...]

Since You Asked About Dinner…
Thanks again so much for the comments and discussion yesterday. Just another example of what a great group of women (sorry to the men who read, and I know who you are, but ya’ll never say anything!) I so fortuitously stumbled into when I started blogging.
Anyway. I did have a “What’s for Dinner” post in mind [...]
