I was really considering taking a blogging hiatus after this weekend. So much, so full and tons of pictures to be sorted and edited. But then I realized that today’s entry is practically written, so it would just be lazy of me not to post. Getting told that my priority is the microscopy (not the
I’ve been reading Eat, Pray, Love and recently got to a part about being grateful for what you do have. I’m not ready to write any thoughts about the book yet. That’s a whole other entry. But today in meditation I decided to switch things up a bit, in pondering the grateful for what I
These people are my family and they were troopers last Saturday. I had decided to take Dad to the Pawnee Bill Wild West Show for Father’s Day and when I mentioned the plan, the rest of the family willingly joined in. And I love them. They sat through hours of sun, heat, dust and copious
The dog days of summer have officially arrived. I’ve begun to feel a little grouchy and depressed lately with a side if malaise. After looking through old entries, I realized that this seems to happen every year around this time. Is it the heat? Is it the fact that it seems like everyone is on

I went to grab my list today and realized that I had written nothing down for last week. The stress of the work day toppled with the new illness (all better now!) just zapped me. So today I am making up the list as I go. John’s fern (named Fern) has bloomed in the lab
The other night I dreamt that something was attacking my bean plants, the whole garden really. But my focus was on the black, shriveled leaves of my bean plants. Of course this could have really been a dream about the state of my health, because the garden is doing just fine. Things are starting to
Well…it seems that I’ve come down with the crud again. This time my throat hurt bad enough for me to just give in and go to the doctor. Canker soars on my throat. Could be viral related or bacterial, but the strep test came back negative. So, I am thankful for that. I am also
