Read at your own peril:
- When a “farmer’s tan” becomes all the rage in fashion, I’ll be on the cover of Esquire. People were literally alarmed at the beach a few weeks back and my daughter got a case of the giggles like I’ve never seen before. It’s that bad … or good.
- I’m way late to the party, but I just finished Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Big Magic”. A must read for those wanting to explore their creative side more. Too many quotes to add here but just know that I’m creating things like this on Instagram as a result. Scary, I know.
- Speaking of inspiration, I’m still all in on Gary Vaynerchuk and vow to one day work for him in some capacity. He lit a fire under this mid 40’s dude like I didn’t think was possible. I’m also creating things like this on Instagram as a result.
- I have many book ideas rolling around in my head and they range from a “An Illustrated guide to what not to do when gardening” to “How Joe Pye Weed changed my life” to “How to survive deer and shit soil”. Would you read any of those?
- I’m negotiating with my daughter to dispose of her swingset/playground so I can install a large and fenced in vegetable/fruit garden. On one hand, It’s killing me to end that era as I remember pushing her for hours on end just based on her smile and remember teaching both kids how to jump off a swing in style. On the other hand, this could be epic and I could teach her all about growing your own and how to tend to a garden that bears food. On the other hand part II, do I have the time for such a venture? #GardenProblems
The olde swing set would make a great trellis frame for vining fruits and veggies.
Done and done. And I think my daughter is ok with it too!
Hilarious as always! It’s funny—-I’m also musing over the idea of a vegetable garden. I had one a couple of decades ago, and it quickly became a basketball court (had five kids, four of them boys). I was happy to abandon the work of such a garden, and it gave me an excuse to delve into flowers (my husband had always said, “If you can’t eat it, it isn’t worth growing!”). As a Grandma, now I find myself yearning for home-grown vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, fat bell peppers, and those wonderful orange balls that snake their way along the ground in the fall. I might even grow some zucchini again!! (Never thought I’d ever say that). So thanks for the inspiration, now I just have to figure out where to put it!
Thanks Kathy! I’m so torn bringing the end of an era vs. I really want a fenced in veggie garden. We’ll see how it goes.

I still see the category drop-down, do you see it yet?
Shoot! ‘Category’!!
