Our Sunday

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 26 Apr

Photo is one of my garden’s first year. A photographer wanted to do a series of photos, but I wouldn’t allow it. To me, my garden was just a work in progress. It still is. Today we visited our friend, Chuck, who is in rehab....

You haven’t seen me here much lately, because of the usual. I’ve been extremely busy. My granddaughter, DIL, and son have been enjoying London. The perfume I wanted from Harrod’s is no longer available. My granddaughter felt...

Do you have Dead Butt Syndrome?

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 17 Apr

It’s a fact that those who sit on their tushes for long periods of time get fat behinds, butts, ass#s, rear ends, or whatever you call yours. It’s due to fat accumulation and muscular atrophy. Constant pressure on the buttocks...

Not, me, however. My older son has to present at a law conference in London and planned to go with our DIL, but guess who talked her way in to tagging along? Our granddaughter read her planned to the minute, including walking,...

Banyan Tree and Two Nosebleeds

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 14 Apr

There are more than palm trees in Florida. On my morning walk I pass this banyan tree every day. It’s too massive for the yard, but it’s quite impressive on its own. Hubs and I went out shopping today, because I need/want new...

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 13 Apr

I tried to burn off calories from my meal last night, and after two hours of dragging myself on my morning walk, I decided to walk up and down our little beach to cool down. I just knew it! I saw the second sailboat I had seen...

About the Sailboat and Stuff

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 12 Apr

The owner appeared two days ago with friends or family and pushed it close to our sea wall and anchored it. He was supposed to have had it removed today, but it’s still here. I needed a day off from here today, so spent most...

A Gate to Nowhere

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 11 Apr

I just had a conversation with @Sallypup about fences and gardening. Our 2+ acre lot at our home in Connecticut is too large for a fence for my cheapo husband to have put up to keep the wildlife at bay. So, I do what I can. I...

Look what washed up!

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 9 Apr

Hubs and I were watching yesterday’s deluge when we saw a sailboat adrift. It ended up in our backyard, so so speak, while another boat got separated from its dock and floated by. Imagine our surprise when a man came out of the...

Drat! It’s pouring out. I was reading out on the lanai in the sunshine when I felt a few sprinkles of rain, but the easterly wind blew it away from my direction . I got chilly, so put on a sweater and went back outside. Then...

DianneN @DianneN (254717) • United States 7 Apr

Did you think we didn’t take our granddaughter shopping while she was here? Did her parents give her their credit cards? No. Did she use her own credit card? No. Does she have expensive tastes? Yes. Those bags in the photo...
