Kids went back to school this week and it seems too early. “Back in my day” we didn’t start the new school year until after Labor Day. And when I moved to my current town, kids didn’t start school until after the local August festival held the third weekend of the month. But now the…

Despite our cooler temps this past weekend, we’ve still got at least one more month of summer-like weather, possibly longer.

The summer porch. Those words conjure an image of a Norman Rockwell painting or a scene from the Andy Griffith show with Aunt Bea serving lemonade on the porch while Andy would strum his guitar. Before the days of air conditioning, an outdoor porch was the place to be to cool off from the heat…

This past Saturday and Sunday were dirty days for me. Meaning – I spent a good chunk of time out in the garden moving plants and pulling weeds. It’s exhausting and therapeutic all at once. Although I have a few minor sore muscles today, I feel more invigorated than had I sat on the couch…

August is here and summer is still going strong here in Illinois. I want to make the most of the remaining warm days so tomorrow we’re visiting the Anderson Japanese Garden in Rockford.
