In Lieu of a Real Post

I have some things I am just bursting to write a real blog post on-but must control the computer time. So just a quick updating on my wonderful and interesting life:0

-that was for laughs, in case you missed it-

Yes. Well! It is time to take down the tree in earnest and I have been waxing all sentimental about it, perhaps to blog one last holiday posting….. the garden is wet and the weather is deceivingly springlike. Worrisome weather! I saw the magnolia buds swelling and some bulb foliage pushing up…. which means we better get some actual winter in place or there will be foolish frozen would-be blooms. Although I am not truly worried yet. Freakish weather just puts me out of sorts.

Plus I have cooped myself inside for -yikees, I think since before Christmas. No. I drove my Mom home, but that hardly counts. My face feels gray. Do you have that feeling after being inside in the house too long in the winter? I feel like my whole being is turning gray. ( Of course that has happened to my hair in actuality for awhile now). But only my hairdresser and those who see the now evident roots know that for sure. Just a small joke. I am full of those. I am hoping they add up to big real jokes if I have enough of them.

I_know. That is one case where the sum is not greater than the parts but rather less. I know already. Let’s smile and pretend I am not petulant and nasty today….just for something different:)

This ‘ill have to do until I write my real posts that sound as if maybe I know something and have something useful to say.

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
