I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    frost-free

    According to the meteorologists, we seem to be out of the frost range for at least the next 10 days, and given historical averages its unlikely that we will have frost risk after that.

    So, of course, I am jonesin' to get out and plant my annuals all around the house. But, as per usual, no one has them in stock yet. Considering we had a big snowstorm just LAST WEEK I suppose this makes sense. According to the lawn & garden manager at my local big box retailer, they should have plants in stock "any day now."

     But, dammit, (in my best whiny Veruca Salt voice) "I want it NOW!"

    Well, at least my perrenials are showing signs of life.Pics to follow as soon as something blooms.
