Who are you out there?
After years of having fewer than 35 people follow this blog, my readers just surpassed 500 in little more than a year. Woo Hoo! I’m amazed and so excited about it, but the thing is, I have NO IDEA who you actually are! Who ARE you? Really. It’s like being onstage with the house lights off. You […]
Chinese Piano baby and mended legs
I knew the moment I saw this little Chinese piano baby on eBay that I wanted it. So after oogling it for some weeks and wrestling with my conscience (budget) for some weeks more, I bought it. I just love that little face! Unfortunately, this is how it arrived. I was just as crushed as that leg. Poor little […]

Why we paint what we paint, or who chopped down the cherry tree?
Dark, sweet Bing cherries are my favorite. I live in the high desert. Who knew cherries could grow here? A while back they were selling Black Tartanian cherry trees so we wagged one home and plopped it into the ground. It turns out they don’t grow here. After struggling for an entire season it died. Too hot. […]
