Three Beautiful Things:

Yoga to stretch out the kinks.
Intense Vitamin D
The first “chink” of the baseball bat

Oh yes friends, I heard it! According to the sounds in the ‘hood high-school baseball practice has started. The first hit is the sweetest. Next, we wait for The National Anthem.

Someone Left the Cake Out In the Rain

Monday, February 25th, 2008

2008 is the year of technological upgrades in the Garden. We’re slow to change and trend towards “if it ain’t broke…..”.
The Art Director insisted that we upgrade the (don’t laugh) Sony 1.3 mega pixel camera, so based on Granny’s Consumer Report we went with the slim Sony Cybershot 7.2 mega pixel digital camera.
LOVE IT!
So […]

Gritty Livin’

Beautiful sunsets, a lilac bush, bird bath. It’s a good view for not much money.
But with the beauty, comes a price. At certain times of the day this thoroughfare is heavily traveled with teenagers on their […]

Executive Function

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Here’s what we learned in the Garden this week:
The Executive Function of my frontal lobe appears to be diminishing. Last to develop, first to fade. God Help Me.
The frontal lobe of your brain houses your Memory Chamber and the Executive Function and controls your recall. Names, planning, managing distractions, and Multi-Tasking. Herein lies […]
