Your blog is great Jan. Sure wish we lived closer. I miss you already. : )

Hehehehe, your ears must've been burning. I was just talking about you and our visit to my friend in Manhattan Beach. Oh yea, I forgot to tell her that you used to live there too. She is one of my best friends and we met on line. I think I told you about her. Too funny.
I wish you did live closer too. I am glad you visited my blog. I usually try to update at least every other day if not every day. To me, its like keeping a journal that everyone can read. Not like a diary that you don't want anyone to read. I am sure that when winter comes I will be writing alot more. Looks like we are going to get some rain for the next day or two. None yet but you can feel it in the air.
Have a good evening

It's raining her this morning. I love the smell, and the plants all look so happy. Cliff made your tool last night, I am going to send it Monday. : ) No more sore fingers. : )
Have a great day.

Enjoyed your blog, Jan. Will be checking in periodically. :)

Thank you all,
I wish it were easier for you to sign in. I would love to have you all as followers in my blog. If you can would you please sign my guest book. I am glad you like it. It is good for me to record the goings on in my life and let other know that life goes on, even in little ole Toledo, Oregon. Hehehe

Oh, I am so excited to get my new tool for my basket making. Please tell you husband thank you so much.

THat was enjoyable. You are very talented.

Oh , I am so glad you liked it. I am still learning the ropes but I really enjoy it. Its not the same as writing in a book and I feel like I have lost a lot of my skill of penmenship as I hardy write at all anymore. I am trying to force my self to write something everyday by hand just so I don't forget how to write. Ya never know when the ole computer will kick the bucket and we will be forced to write long hand.

My hands are getting shaky sometimes and my writing is awful. My husband used to have beautiful penmanship and it is totally gone. We are in our 70's though

Your blog is such a lovely tribute to your family, your garden, your art, and your life. Thanks for sharing it.

thank you so much, mauryhillfarm. I really find some since of comfort in it. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe its just the reaffirmation of each days happenings and what joy I have found in lifes simple pleasures. It kind of amazes me that such simple things can bring my such joy. I wonder if thats a sign of age. I don't know, I just know that it works for me. Thanks for the complement, come visiting often. There is always something new going on.
