Have I mentioned that I love lazy Sundays in bed?
I do.
This morning I got up, let the dogs out, made some coffee, let the dogs back in, grabbed my mug and headed back to the bedroom.  Taylor was like…  ”You’re going back to bed????” and before I could even say anything, he was like…  ”well, [...]

So last night I ran Taylor a bath loaded with bubbles, handed him an erotic book and left him to soak for a bit.  While he was in there, I scrambled around lighting a zillion candles (including a massage candle) in our bedroom and putting a soft red sheet over the regular bedding to protect [...]

So last year (there I go, doing it again.  I start so many blog posts with “so…”. It’s like I was in the middle of a conversation with y’all, got distracted and came right back to it like I never stopped. Heh)
Anyhow.  Last year, Taylor saw some guy giving away a shed on Craigslist or [...]

So today I dug all the weeds out of my garden — which I didn’t plant anything in last year so it had a years worth of weeds in it — and threw down some mulch and planted some seeds in those nifty little dome things in the kitchen.  Shortly I will have tomatoes and [...]

“ The  fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?
 ~J.B. Priestley

I love snow.
I love sweaters and long johns and coffee [...]

I love Sundays.
Sundays are our “nothing” days.  We lounge around in jammies and do as little as possible.
Sunday’s in the winter are even better cuz it’s cozy and warm in the house and blustery outside and I feel, more so than any other time, the tight knit closeness of our family.
Today the kids Taylor and [...]

The six year anniversary of Taylor and I meeting for the first time is coming up pretty soon. Early in February, actually.
We’d known each other years and years online but rarely talked.
He used to tell me “one of these days, sin”. (That was my screen name back then. Submissively_sinful. Most people called me sinny. Taylor [...]

I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace
Now we all know I don’t believe in the traditional version of god but…I have to admit I find my garden – and gardening in [...]

Taylor must be feeling them Southern roots lately or something. He’s got me making him some Pinto Bean Soup and cornbread. (Really just pintos and salt pork, but he swears it’s soup cuz it’s “soupy”).So…. Having never made this stuff before I had to dig around online for an authentic recipe. It’s simple enough but [...]

Well…It’s that time of year again.Cold outside, everything frozen, people rushing from their cars to wherever they need to go…The longest day of the year over and the promise of more light just ahead of us…Christmas and my birthday right around the corner…A new year to begin soon…
And life is really good.Taylor’s workin’ steady at [...]

If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on [...]

Haven’t had much time for writing lately. Too busy going temporarily insane. But that’s ok.
“People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt, My Day
My character must, certainly, be growin’ like I have twenty masons workin’ on it. :)
Seriously, though…
Life has settled back down a [...]

“Joy and sorrow are inseparable. Together they come and when one sits alone with you, remember the other one is asleep upon your bed.” ~Kahlil Gibran
Yanno…Sometimes things just go really, really right.And I’ll admit it’s a little scary when suddenly EVERYTHING seems to be going right.particularly when you’re coming off a phase where absolutely everything [...]
