My Daily Travels

John and I went shopping yesterday in the garden department and we came home with a pickup load of potting soil, flowers, and herbs. Our next trip will involve getting our produce plants. This morning I have been enjoying the view that includes hanging flowers and a loaded herb garden. I also filled... Sign in to see full entry.

More often than not, our local weather news team makes a bad call. Even though they called for scattered rain showers, it is sunny and warm here today in my Boro, so I plan to head out to the yard with the latest book I have been reading whenever time allows. Nora Roberts never fails to keep my... Sign in to see full entry.

We have been patiently waiting to see our thirteen-year-old granddaughter, Chloe, who played the part of Pepper in Orphan Annie at her school yesterday show off her acting skills that she has been working on for the past month. Chloe has expressed her wish to be in the theater with high hopes of one... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the first day since last week that I can actually get my outdoor chores under control. The hedges need to be trimmed, the grass needs cut, and I am planning on planting a lilac bush, Jasmine, and a yellow rose bush. From what I can tell, my weather app shows approval for planting this week,... Sign in to see full entry.

I instinctively knew that the day was not going as planned when I woke up this morning and I spotted an overcast sky. I had plans to hang out outdoors today in my yard under a sunny sky. So far, it isn't looking like that is going to happen even though the weather report suggests otherwise. I have... Sign in to see full entry.

My grass is nearly ankle high due to all of the rain this past week. Today is yet another wet and chilly day here in Pittsburgh, but tomorrow's weather promises to be sunny and warm, and the rest of the week is looking pretty good as well. Since it is still cold outside, I plan to make one last hot... Sign in to see full entry.

Since it is compiled on top of pizza dough rather than the traditional rye bread that I love so much, I feared that it would fall short on taste and texture, but it is a delicious food marriage...

I can't wait to start planting my herbs, vegetables, and flowers, but I have always waited until after Mother's Day just to play it safe. It is really chilly here today, and it will remain so until Thursday when the temps go back up and the sun will finally come out once again. Since it is cold and... Sign in to see full entry.

I woke up with a stiff right arm that is aching from pitching a baseball repeatedly to my grandson John yesterday at the park. He absolutely cannot get enough baseball in his life after we gifted him with the necessary equipment to get him started. My son-in-law is taking John to a minor league game...

Today we are experiencing nice weather in the middle of a wet week, so I plan to take advantage of it and head to our local park that doubles as a farm. Spring is the time when all of the baby animals can be seen. My favorites are the piglets, foals, and the kids. Our grandchildren love playing... Sign in to see full entry.
