Pray for Rain for North Carolina
The autumnal fragrance of a wood burning fire is a comforting and cozy thing when it is contained in a fireplace. But, when I was in the kitchen yesterday and smelled burning wood, it evoked fear. Stepping out to the veranda, this was the view. That is smoke, not fog, so thick that the entire …

One Monthly Goal – November
I have been seeing the posts on other blogs for One Monthly Goal, and thought it was a nice idea. Just set one achievable goal each month. I tend to be a finisher, usually not having more than three projects going at one time, so I didn't join the link ups. But, I should have, …
