Whew!!!

Ok so here I am again after being on a blogging hiatus. Life has a way of taking over everything....just everyday life. Things were pretty busy, stressful, hectic, bitchy, and so on. I have a feeling things will begin to taper a little, even with the Christmas season upon us, speaking more for myself when I say that. It's a weird time of year to feel this way I know, but that's how life goes for me, things happen at the weirdest times. Just finally figured out some important financial things that needed to be figured out, that I've been struggling to figure out and finally it is working out!!! So slowly....over the next months, I'm hoping things will get a little better. And, I am so thankful for that. I'm keeping my fingers (and ugly toes) crossed that nothing major or dramatic happens.

And yes, by the way this picture was taken on my deck this past summer as I was lounging one afternoon with camera in hand and with a good book - probably contemplating what I was going to grill.

In my old age, I still can't believe how our seasons change so drastically from one month to the next! Here we are already in December with the winter wind and snow blowing like hell.....and wind chill temps below zero. Next thing we know, the next 3 months will be over and it's spring again, and we'll probably get a few more feet of snow in April, but that's how it is here, I can hardly wait because that will all melt in a week and it's finally spring.

I'm looking forward to trying my hand or should I say my green thumb at gardening again in the spring. I will start out small this time, none of this trying to be like my gourmet gardener neighbor shit, I can't keep up with that.

I just want to grow simple, like tomatoes, beans, onions, carrots, a few peppers. Maybe I'll plant my wild flower seeds somewhere by my veggie garden. Anyone know how to plant mushrooms?
