Saturday at The Hon House

Come spend a day at Hon House with me. Today would be a good day. It was fall-like but beautiful. It was one of those cool, crisp autumn days when I like to throw the windows open and watch the curtains billowing in the breeze.
I caught up on my favorite tv shows that I tape (Project Runway and Top Chef Las Vegas. After a leisurely breakfast, I did a ton of laundry and took a walk around the yard.

There was lots in the backyard to make me smile. Even the flowers seemed to be saying "Morning, Glory" to this Glory Bee.
The bay grass is tall and poofy now with it's lovely crowns. Fall flowers are blooming or on the way. Even the Rosemary is looking good. I stopped to cut some to add to my potatoes and pork chops.

I noticed that the pond has a lovely yellow flower on the water lily and that a few of the trumpet vine flowers remain.

And in between the work and the wak and the tv, I took time to enjoy my new computer

and managed to chill with the boys.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast. Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation. Don't we all want to be admired and respected? Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance? LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol. As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

A Good Week for Geezers

The 75 year old Joan Rivers was crowned the new Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday. On The Biggest Loser show, Helen (who was constantly bemoaning her age vs. the younger people she was competing with) won the whole enchilada. She had lost a total of 140 pounds. And Jerry, who is 64 years old, won the $100K prize for losing almost 48 percent of his body weight. Even the Aussie who was on the show from Australia's Biggest Loser was 57 (my age incidentally). Does this give me hope or add pressure? I'm not so sure. But I'm just happy to know that it's not all about the twenty or thirty somethings.

Spring Fever Joy List

It was a beautiful day here in the Mid-Atlantic. We had unseasonably high temps and it was a day for spring fever. Sometimes on days like this when all seems right in my world I wonder how it gets any better than this. I think back to all the springs in my life. I remember times I took a mental health day just to feel the newness of the season. I recall a lilac dress I had when I was a senior in high school and how I felt like spring personified. I recollect writing poetry and being in love and just feeling like I was walking on air. Here's my joy list from today: The high clouds in the bright blue sky The scent of the spring blooms The pretty tulips out front at the building where I work Flowering trees along the highway The feel of the sun The flower sale we had as a fundraiser and the pretty begonias I bought Seeing everyone break out their warm season clothes Knowing our dear little cat was spending most of the day on his favorite perch on the sun porch Thinking about the u...
