A Lifestyle Blog
Thanks for reading! I am a middle age mom of teenagers who lives in the mid west United States. On my site you will read about tough loss, flower gardening and our international student. I know, unrelated random topics, right? That’s my life. And I throw in even more “interesting” thoughts in between sometimes.

***The above sketch of a home is my home! I have a purple front door and matching window box. Love it. I actually have a purple trellis in front of my house as well, but couldn’t fit it in my sketch. 🙂
1/2/21 Well, finally a new year. I wish the arrival of a new year meant I could start flower gardening again, but that is not the case in Iowa.
Have to share my gardening related Christmas gift- check out these bad boys! These gloves have claws that help a person to really get digging in the dirt!
And I have found several purposes for them. They are great for scratching my hubby’s back, shredding pork roasts, and scraping ice off my car windows! Just joking about these uses. But these gloves do get my imagination going. And give me the strange urge to hiss…
Can’t wait to try these in the spring! Bring on warmer weather! (dream on…)
