Day 117: Ease
So I just spent the last half hour walking around the house and feeling pretty overwhelmed. I had a pretty relaxing day. I slept in, met some Friends in the morning, then took the boys out to the Chattahoochee to … Continue reading
Day 97: Unearth
Today’s entry was supposed to be more literal than figurative. I meant to turn the soil in the garden and prepare the earth for planting. But we have had major rains for the past 24 hours, so I will have … Continue reading

Day 53: Refresh

Day 45: Mate
Yes, I’m talking about socks. I mean, what did you think I was talking about, huh? A couple of days ago, one of the blogs I follow posted a de-clutter assignment for clearing out your sock drawer. I thought it … Continue reading
Day 43: Restore
Well, so far Part II of Atlanta’s Winter Weather Advisory doesn’t look too bad. The “wintery mix” showed up around 1am, mostly in the form of snow. It changed over to ice somewhere around 7am this morning, and it’s still … Continue reading
