I’m working on it…

By Sue Lyn, on February 28th, 2007%

I’ve recently updated my blogging software (I use WordPress), and of course nothing is ever simple. What I hoped would be a quick, straightforward improvement to the back end of the blog has instead goofed up the template that governs the entire appearance of the site. Mulberry Jam may be looking a little strange . . . → Read More: I’m working on it…

Kind Hearts Are Worth More than Coronets

Long, but worth it. In this clip he talks about why he won’t be making fun of Britney Spears. It’s . . . → Read More: Kind Hearts Are Worth More than Coronets

Nothing too horrible here, just a string of nights below 20 degrees and days that haven’t made it up above the freezing mark. Not very impressive if you live in Minneapolis, or upstate New York. Still, this is colder weather than we’ve had for a few winters.

Winter Blooms

By Sue Lyn, on February 15th, 2007%

I’m so proud– I’ve finally managed to get an orchid to rebloom after years of trying. In fact, the house is decorated with several of my little projects right now. I have a reblooming amaryllis lighting up the kitchen with four fiery red flowers on one stalk, and another amaryllis in bud that should . . . → Read More: Winter Blooms
