Doodads 4/4/20

I’ll be playing an online virtual board game with my kids today so will be “gone.”  I did want to share one of the things I did yesterday.  My older son’s girlfriend gave me a gift for Christmas of herb growing kit.  I opened it yesterday and was instructed to soak the seeds for 24…

Doodads 2/7/20 — One of these things…

I borrowed “The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy” by Valerie Ann Worwood from the library within the last week and have been consulting and taking notes from it since then. Today the copy I bought arrived in the mail. I noticed immediately that there was a substantial difference in size between the two…

Doodads — 1/2/20

I started reading Haruki Murakami’s 3-volume 1Q84 last night. It’s a 2-week e-book borrow, so we’ll see how far I can get in 2 weeks. It’s a simple, but dense story, which is par for the course of what I’ve read of him so far. I also borrowed Season 1 of The Waltons and watched…

So far so good! image link Viewing The first thing I wanted to talk about is the 2-hour documentary I watched last night, called, “Bob Dylan: 1966-1978: After the Crash.” The netflix blurb says: This documentary covers the so-called middle period of iconic musician Bob Dylan’s career….

Asiatic Lilies

It’s time I did another update on the yard.  Remember when I was complaining that all of the Asiatic lily variety pack were the same (beautiful) shade of pink?  Well those ones were the early birds and have come and gone.  Right now some of all of the rest are open, and oh my goodness…
