I Have Been Out Mowneuvered | By Val Enders

Part 2 of Mow, Mow, Mow Your Lawn Out in the shed I am met with an angry horde of starving mosquitoes. After all this rain and heat they are voracious, and it looks like I am the only chunk of meat on the menu. Grabbing “Rusty’s” handle with one hand, and the weed wacker with the other, I manage …

Mow, Mow, Mow Your Lawn | By Val Enders

Apparently putting sixty pounds of fertilizer on your lawn between the first arrival of grass and August, causes an extraordinary amount of grass to grow. Well, Duh! Since our lawn was looking a little sad in May, compared to the neighbors, I decided that it would be a good idea to put some added nutrients into the grass to give …

My Garden of Weeden | By Val Enders

Weeding is very cathartic. Now hold on … don’t start tossing tomatoes at me yet! It may surprise you to know that some people actually like to weed, and I guess I fall into that group. Of course there are “closet” weeders, people who deny that they enjoy getting out in the flower beds to weed, but I know they …

We Are Going Camping | By Val Enders

Well, the two of us bought a used camper, and last weekend we went to a beautiful Provincial Park to give the wheels a test run. The hubby took Friday off from work, and we set off with renewed hope about bonding with nature. It’s been at least thirty years since our last camping adventures with the kiddies, and now, …

Send In The Swat Team! By Val Enders

Send in the swat team. It was late when we went to bed on Thursday, but I wasn’t tired, so I picked up my book and snuggled down for a read. On this particular night all was nice and quiet in the neighborhood, and the soft breeze ruffled the curtains bringing with it the fragrance of lilacs. I could hear …

Photoshop or Photo Flop?

I know that there are a lot of people just like me, who look forward to having their photos taken about as much as having a colonoscopy, or a root canal. Pictures of me never turn out, so I sidestep being in the group snapshots by using the, “I’ll take the picture”, avoidance technique. Consequently, most of our family pictures …

I’m All Tapped Out!

Yesterday, was the windup dance recital for my two youngest grandkids, ages six and nine. Naturally, Hubby and I were looking forward to seeing them dance their little hearts out, but we weren’t green, and we knew what torture was coming down the turnpike. You see, we had been this route before, and looking at the faces of those unsuspecting …

No One Knows What Grows On Behind Closed Doors

We’re a desperate lot, us women. Spring is finally here, and we are more than ready for the annual planting season. We are like the wildebeests of Africa, who brave the crocodiles and fast flowing Zambezi River, in order to get to the lush spring lands. It’s been so long that we’ve seen anything green, we’re positively ecstatic as the …

The Cuckoo Has the Flu In the Nest

I am fighting a case of the flu. I can’t be certain that it actually is the flu, but since I have the internet, I have researched my symptoms, and now I feel qualified to self diagnose. I have ruled out pregnancy and diphtheria. Someone, (I won’t mention any names, but it starts with the letter “H”(ubby), was sick last …

Baby, It’s Cold Inside!

I decided to make a nice dinner for the hubby, and went to the freezer to get a beef roast. I dread going into the freezer, and news flash, they don’t call it ‘freezer’ for nothing. Finding anything in there is an ordeal, and I hate the cold. But, I bit the bullet and headed downstairs. The freezer and I …

Don’t Worry… Bead Happy

Hubby calls my forays into learning and teaching myself new ideas, or things, “hair brained” ideas. Sometimes, it turns out, he is more than accurate with his observations. Recently, I took up a new craft. It started out innocently enough as a jewellery making idea for the Art Gallery Christmas store fundraiser, but soon it mushroomed into an out of …

This Does Not Compute!

This Does Not Compute! Today I finally blew my composure. I yelled, cajoled, cried and threatened, all to no avail. The response I got was a blank look, and silence. I even resorted to desk pounding and finger pointing, but nothing seemed to make a difference. It was treating me like a stranger, a nobody, unwanted, even though we have …
