When I get my daily paper, the Boston Globe, I start off with the front section which is called “Nation“. (aka, the bad and depressing news portion, and OMG when’s the last time you saw anything uplifting THERE?)
So, I dutifully peruse the news on the economy, Haiti, and healthcare. I stop and think about [...]

Yes, so what I still read the hardcopy paper? Call me a dinosaur, but it’s my indulgence and I like to drink my morning coffee while perusing the morning headlines.

Blogger extraordinaire BOSSY has announced her "No Book Tour"! Sign up today and get your blogger community behind a BOSSY visit!
Found is a web site that posts all kinds of intriguing notes, birthday cards, to-do lists, all of which have been "found". Some of of them are sweet, some quite salty, and some are probably things someone wishes they had never written down. Go on, take a peek for fun!
Reading on the Kindle
From Amazon: "Holy cow, this book should be a huge success.

Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them.
Since my husband is from Coos County aka, lumberjack country, I thought this would give me a little more insight to that crazy place he is from. Sounds like a trip down memory lane.
It's raining this weekend, so I'm going to crack open my White Flower Farm catalog. I'm a huge fan of their bulb collections, and I plant batches of them every fall. Check out their web site for inspiration for your yard!
Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial.
