The Durham Bulls

April 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Actually, I’ve just been hiding away for a few minutes in the […]

April 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I put together a little graphic collage of some of the flowers that I enjoyed in my garden in April…

Also, I had promised here to post a picture of my cranesbill if it ever came out again.  I thought last year’s drought might have killed it.  Well, it’s out and blooming!

See the little purple blooms?
More later about […]

Office Window View

April 28th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I’m currently in love with my new office. 
I’m blissfully happy with the thoughts of transcribing in here three days of each week, and I’m trying to train my mind already with thoughts of staying in my chair and making perfect each medical document and just enjoying that sitting time as a thinking and meditation time. 
I […]

Rose Buds Turn into Roses

April 24th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I started out this morning doing a bit of cleaning around the house and then I headed outside to clean up the front porch and do some early morning garden (little garden ) chores.  

All the house plants have been brought outside to spend the spring and summer.  The peace lily got a good watering.   […]

Victoria-Inspired Hair

April 23rd, 2008 · 9 Comments

I was looking through an old Victoria magazine today and found a hairstyle that inspired me.   I tried my own version of it.
