I took a gig as a journalist…

Good morning,

I took a gig as a journalist. I’ve been wearing the skin of a different animal all week. I kinda like it. It is just another side to what I am doing. I’ve been doing the writing for Examiner.com in the gardening section. Its right up my alley. Although, getting fresh pictures has been a challenge for me. I always want the fresh vegetable or the fresh fruit displayed on the page… they are not ready yet. Season has only just begun for us here. Bummer…. But that hasn’t stopped me. I keep doing some pretty good work. Check me out. Here’s one of the articles.  http://www.examiner.com/article/the-challenges-of-gardening-the-midwest?cid=rss   Don’t forget to like the page and a subscription is free. At least when I clicked on it to check….. I didn’t get any credit card monkey shoved on me. So, take a leap of faith that I MIGHT be able to entertain you or educate you. I strive to do one of the two for the day.  You have a great weekend… I have Little League to get to.

Just a second please…. just another second.

In another moment, I will doze off. I didn’t watch any programs tonight. I silenced everything. I let my mind tune down and rest. I need to hear the frogs from our pond below the hill. I have to hear the crickets sing to lull my senses into a brief moment of total stillness. The evening breeze has cooled from the 95 degree temperature we had today and the hustle and bustle of the big city I had to travel to all day long. I have no orders to worry about tonight. I know my kids are safe and happy and well. All of the family is where they belong tonight and Max is asleep at the end of the bed. Traffic on the highway I live near is dwindling and I am becoming senseless and unaware. I do believe that I have gotten the mind clearing rest that I have needed for so long.

Good night my friends.

See my new gig on Examiner.com as one of their new journalists…. teee heee…

Good morning everyone!

What a wonderful day! The rain boomed away the dust on things last night and I wake to  bright sunshine and another day. I think today will be the last of the house cleaning duties this week. Well… except for dishes and laundry. I have been trying to catch up from the last two weeks of Little League and writing and hoping for work. And the conclusion was an unkept house, dishes not done and me staring at an empty dresser. So… I have taken the last three days and gotten caught up.

It has warmed up considerably here in the mountains and today needs to be the day to transplant the corn I have been growing. They are almost three feet tall and the garden has lots of open space for them. I found some manure and my taters are going to have a home as well. They have been eyeing their way to my ceiling the last couple of weeks and I think the great outdoors needs to meet them.

I have got to go threw my seed and see what I need. I think most everything has been depleted. Time to shop! This years crop so far is: Onions of red and yellow, potatoes, Pumpkins (currently germinating in the garden from the pumpkin I through in there in march), lettuce, radishes, and I must have beets this year. I have discovered my body needs them for energy. Let’s see… ummm…. corn and peppers and I think some cantaloupe would be nice. We have to grow cucumbers. I need to make more pickles. I make one mean bunch of pickles– from dill to sweet to …OMG yummy bread and butter. I make them crunchy… this year I will remember the onions and peppers… and don’t tell mom– I plan on growing my own zucchini this year. Last year she grew 26 plants. All open windows were in danger of a zucchini drive by. (and I did it a lot!!!) But I would like to have my own to watch grow. I find them fun to watch. Even after the 9,000th bag to freeze is done… LOL!!!

So… you enjoy this day. I certainly will!!

Oh.. don’t forget the New release of Neale McGregor. She’s waiting for you to check her out. Who likes the cover art???? http://www.amazon.com/Neale-McGregor-ebook/dp/B00BQS94WK/ref=sr_1_9?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1368109195&sr=1-9&keywords=terri+louise

No time for the wicked…

I fear I haven’t had the chance to blog. I have been riding, and writing and making flyers and menu’s and taking care of my son. Somewhere in there, I forgot to come here and blog. My goodness. I am so sorry.

Spring has sprung here and we are preparing to raise our beds and maybe make some greenhouses. My best friend has finished her remodel (RE-saving) of her home and is preparing to do the same to the other side of it. So, with that filled with Little league…. I haven’t had time to say ‘BOO’. So… BOO! And now, I am going to go look for Tulips because the sun is up and they are out. I haven’t had time to look at my Garden. I think I should.

And a….

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all my Irish Friends. Whether you have the heritage or not.

“Wonderful
