I have a love-hate relationship with the animals running, flying, zipping, munching around our yard. Sometimes I want to rid the place of them, but other times I enjoy watching them. I like most of the birds. Was hoping to attract an oriole this year, but didn’t happen. So far this spring, I’m enjoying baby […]

I knew there was a super flower blood moon (see NOTE below) predicted for last Sunday night, but I didn’t have any serious plans to watch it. I am usually fast asleep before night-time events occur. But I happened to wake up about 10:00pm. (Yes, I know, most people weren’t yet in bed.) So I

A few years ago I made blankets for each person in the family for their Christmas present. They look knitted, but it’s only a series of one loop stuffed into the next one.

It hasn’t been the best year for my flowering trees. My magnolia barely bloomed at all. But I caught this pink dogwood by my front porch on a nice, sunny day. Love the pink against the blue sky! What’s blooming at your place? Darlene Delucadarlenedeluca.com/

I’m not sure this is something to be proud of, but I believe our family owns the oldest bottle of Formula 409 cleaner in America. (If anyone can prove me wrong, please feel free to do so.) My husband is a firm believer in the powers of 409 cleaner to handle almost any household messes.

For the past few years, I’ve planted crocus in an area of our yard where grass doesn’t want to grow. I’ve added about 50 each year, and this year, they finally look like a crocus patch! Such a fun taste of spring! 🙂 Darlene Delucadarlenedeluca.com/

My husband and I love to see big things happen in sad houses. We’re working in our third house (outside of the one we live in) and it keeps us young (or makes us old). I’m not sure which. He’s the rough-in guy who comes up with the BIG ideas and does the hard work
