Some Things…

October 28, 2018 by Ogee

Some things make me laugh. Some make me smile. Some fill me with joy – like the asters in fall. And others make me want to say, “Don’t worry boy, didn’t I tell you you’d be home in a flash?” Some touch my heart. Some fill me with hope. And some make me wonder how a boy ever thought that peeing on a new girlfriend would win her over?! But this just fills me with pride. Last year, I told […]

Fall Garden Project Number One

October 7, 2018 by Ogee

No, really, there are no remains in the Memorial Garden…although you might suspect otherwise if you saw this. While we were away, fall signaled its arrival. Just hints so far, but the creatures know. And with cooler days come a mountain of projects. First on the list: a complete demolition and re-do of the raised bed area of the garden. Once, these housed a mountain of overgrown and deadly blackberry brambles. They spread their spikes throughout the garden, so they […]
