i've morphed...but into what?!

recently, i had one of those random moments to reflect on my life and the "me" i've become since becoming a stay at home mom, when rob said to me he was thinking of getting some Toad The Wet Sprocket tix for me b/c they were going to be playing in the area and i was like, eh, it's too much effort to go out and besides, i havent listened to Toad in ages...i liked them back in college, but now a days, i hardly listen to much music at all and couldnt even name one current song or musician people listen to these days. not that i was ever so with-it...but not sure what it says about me when the only songs i sing along to are either on the Backyardigans or are the ones that come on Yo Gabba Gabba! (but in my defense, there are some pretty cool songs by some pretty cool indie bands on Yo Gabba Gabba...yes, Leslie the Gem Sweater gal was on that show once doing a dancy dance with signature razzle dazzle glitter hands and laser beam moves, but in a nerdy way, she's wacky cool. her gem sweaters just crack me up! when i first learned of leslie years ago, she made me pee my pants from laughing so hard.
and of course, if Jack Black is on YGG! doesnt that totally up that cool factor? so maybe i am not a completely lost case after all?

Rainbow Magic Birthday (Mimi's 7th Birthday)

this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday.  after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out.  then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house.  she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small.  since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic .  how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...

Gardening My Albatross

 sometimes when i think about giving up on life in general, and sitting like a blob all day, unbidden my mind fills up with images of a neglected garden turning brown, rotting, dying, and thats often enough motivation to keep going, if for no other reason than to prevent the desolation from becoming reality.  is it weird that when i think of dying one day, that i get sad knowing my garden will die when i am gone?  i dont think anyone else would go tend to it when i am no longer around.  i hope they will at least keep a plant or two in remembrance of me, but the little pollinator waystation i've been working for several years now to create will likely be razed and no more.

Growing Things

 it's crazy how long it's been since the last time i blogged here.  i spend so much time on insta and facebook, this blog has been largely ignored.  i'm on my second year of gardening and have been trying to maintaining a physical gardening log and failed at several attempts.  So i think this may be my best bet.  So here's the first gardening entry! Today is March 29th, 2022. Temps today were unseasonably cold and have been for the past three days.  Todays high temp was 47F and the low tonight will be 22F.  But should warm to the low 70s tomorrow.    This crazy cold and heavy winds yesterday blew down several daffodils.  many are leaning but upright enough that i left them and only pruned the ones that were knocked to the ground.
