Milk Money: July 2015
http://tomatoesonthevine.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Motherhood, friendships, work and play in the vortex of New Haven, CT. Friday, July 10, 2015. If you time it right, and the breeze is slight, and the din of mowers and leaf blowers isn’t crowding your head, you can hear the muffled clang-clang of buoys in the harbor just a few hundred yards from my house. The cool song of the robin and the chit-chat of the cat bird provide the melody, but the buoys bring the harmony of summer to my backyard. Maybe too much time. But still, a teenager. First, there is a g...

Milk Money: February 2014
http://tomatoesonthevine.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Motherhood, friendships, work and play in the vortex of New Haven, CT. Monday, February 17, 2014. Believe me, I don't always compare myself to other people's lives on Facebook (cue the guy from the Dos Equis commercials), but when I do, I usually feel like a miserable failure. I just forget that about my own life sometimes. Years ago I stopped reading beauty magazines (beauty sections of magazines like Real Simple. My life is here. And now. Snow and all. Thursday, February 13, 2014. Well, it's kind.

Cotton Candy: July 2008
http://chestnuthill-loviex3.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Kelly over at belle ame tagged me to blog about 5 things I love the most. 1 Well, of course, my family is a given. 2 Creating. I love to create all kinds of things using all kinds of mediums. Sewing, quilting, cooking, gardening. I can't imagine going through a day and not creating SOMETHING. 3 My home. I am a die-hard homebody. I can go for days without leaving my house. After a few days of being out of town, I really start to miss all my "stuff". Wednesday, July 16, 2008.

Cotton Candy: the days are going by too quickly
http://chestnuthill-loviex3.blogspot.com/2009/02/days-are-going-by-too-quickly.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. The days are going by too quickly. As I spend them with my youngest granddaughter and her new baby brother. Time spent reading stories to Sophia as we cuddle on the couch . Blowing bubbles in the tub. Sneaking bites of food into her picky toddler mouth. Chasing her down to change a diaper. Buying yet another helium balloon to add to her collection. This girl does love her helium balloons. Yes, the days are going by far too fast. February 12, 2009 at 7:45 AM.

Cotton Candy: I think I am jinxed
http://chestnuthill-loviex3.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-think-i-am-jinxed.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. I think I am jinxed. SighI don't really think I like to clean house anymore(no commenouts on the "anymore" please).I live in a 13 room house and it seems like all I do is clean the same 3 rooms over and over. There are only two of us living here not counting the dog and I don't see how we can make such messes. So tonight, I am treating myself to a little burnt offering Southern style. Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources.

Cotton Candy: October 2010

Wednesday, October 13, 2010. I live in a high-traffic tourist area. And tis the season; for tourist and company. So for the moment I am trapped in the land of fanny packs and tourist traps. Meaning I am entertaining "the relatives". Will be back soon. Thursday, October 7, 2010. A dead car, cake interrupted, and screaming hot sloppy joes. It has been one of those kind of days that makes you want to pull your hair out, stomp your foot in disgust, and just throw in the towel. Rinse and repeat. So I threw th...

Wednesday, December 31, 2008. See that sweet little birdy there? This is an exciting day for me. For those you follow Amy Power's blog and online store InspireCo. You know what kind of really cute, really unique wares she specializes in. Guess what? This month I am her featured artist!

Monday, October 20, 2008. I'm pretty sure it's not santa claus. I just went outside to check my mailbox. As I was walking up the hill back to the house I happened to glance up at my roof and there on the chimney was a HUMONGUOUS bird! I ran inside to grab my camera hoping he wouldn't fly away before I could get back out. Luckily, he accomadated me. Good thing I am not superstitous cause this looks like the perfect bad omen. Big black bird perched on your chimney. Sunday, October 19, 2008. On the home fro...

Cotton Candy: March 2008
http://chestnuthill-loviex3.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 21, 2008. I think I wore corduroy. For the last time today. It was still a little nippy outside, that is why I drug out my favorite pair of corduroy pants, they just felt so cozy. But the sun was shining and when I was out and about I felt a little silly sportin' my cords. Sigh.I love me a comfy pair of cords. I spent a little time out exploring in my gardens. The drought last year was really hard on my growing things. I did see lots of Day Lilies strutting their stuff. The. There was a gin...

I have been busy reading about compost, cuz, well compost happens.I bought a book and have reading and learning all about composting, because I want to do it right you know? Now I am more confused than ever. Actually, I wasn't confused before I read the book. I just thought you put gunk in there and voila! Speaking of life, my little bush beans are sprouting!
