FOREWARNED is Forearmed! Is Your Vegetable Garden:... →
leftish:
IF YOU ARE THE KIND OF GARDENER who buys vegetable seeds or seedlings (including tomato plants) from a local garden center, as I sometimes do, beware the varieties you select. Otherwise, you could very well be putting money into the hands of the wretched Monsanto Corporation. Forewarned is forearmed, right? Here is the list of Seminis/Monsanto home-garden vegetable varieties, and...

Eventually I’m just going to take a massive family shot of my gear.
But thanks for drooling. That’s kinda cool someone drooled over my gear.
In a really weird cool way.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to be weird…my husband is a musician, and...

It has just occured to me that when we are at the...
At that moment I think I might just dissolve into a puddle of tears on the floor. If I don’t faint first. Most of you probably know that I love Mumford & Sons, but you don’t know that I have loved The Band for most of my life. Of course, they had already broken up by the time my dad started playing their records for me, but the very first time I heard “The Weight” I got...

Beth, I am seeing them twice that week. Once on Thursday at the Ryman, then I am driving 16 hours to Woodstock to see them at the Midnight Ramble. Then 12 hours back home. We only live once!
That’s awesome.
Ugh, if I had the funds and the gas, I’d just follow them around. I just want to...
Love Letters →
jessicat:
You can now read 537 digitized love letters written between Victorian poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Favorite quote so far: “I do not say everything I think but I take every means to say what I think”
SWOON!!!
So much sadness tonight. I suppose, if everything is connected, it is to balance the sheer joy of this morning. Days like this I am thankful that I am a mom, and my kids are still small enough to snuggle. A good snuggle can set everything right, or at least make me forget for a while. The smell of little boy and fruity shampoo, the softness of their cheeks, they way they sigh when they get sleepy...

Maya Angelou reads a letter to her 15 year old self.
“Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin — find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more...

Ash Wednesday- Identity, Repentance, Preparation.
Here is a reflection written by Rev. Richard Mastrogiacamo.
Today, we are marked with ash. We are branded with the sign of our faith, the Cross. Do we know what that sign means? Can we read it? More than a symbol, or a custom, this…

WE JUST SCORED TICKETS TO SEE LEVON HELM AND...
Hubs and I have had a trip to the Midnight Ramble on our bucket list ever since we found out about the event. Our parents listened to The Band when we were growing up, and we love them as well. Levon Helm is one of our musical heroes, and we both thought it would be amazing just to spend an evening in the same room with him.
This is just beyond amazing! Nashville on the 8th, Woodstock on the...
