Make someone else’s life beautiful by volunteering
It’s been over 20 years ago but I still remember exactly when I determined that volunteering is something that I *do* have time for. I was working full-time as a hospice nurse, plus on-call hours. I also had two young children, a husband and a home to care for. To say I was busy would…
Summer Fun ~ 10 Things on My Fun List
Have you ever felt regret at the end of summer for all the things you didn’t do? I have. It’s all too easy to let the summer days slip by in a haze of heat and humidity. But I’m determined to not let that happen this year. I started making a list of the fun…
A Decade of Blogging
Ten years ago today I wrote my very first blog post. Those were the days when most blogs were like online journals and tended to be very personal. I was a relatively new empty nester and I was going to use the blog to share my decluttering story. Initially I called the blog, “Ponderings of…

Springtime on Apple Tree Farm
I thought I’d share a few photos I took today. It definitely looks like springtime here on Apple Tree Farm and I couldn’t be happier about that. 🙂 The daffodils have finished blooming but the dogwoods are in bloom. The day lilies are coming up nicely but they won’t bloom for quite awhile. These are…
Favorite Children’s Books
When I was a kid I always had my nose in a book. Most of the time you could find me in my room reading. Well, not exactly “find me” because I probably had the door locked. I was a quiet, self-contained, loner of a child. As the only girl in my family I didn’t…
Porch Time ~ My Favorite Season
It looks like my favorite season is here – Porch Time. Others call it springtime but for me, it’s Porch Time. Last night David grilled hot dogs to go with the homemade potato salad I had made and we enjoyed our first dinner of the year on our front porch. I brought out the Bose…
