I had a friend asking me about my salsa recipe. It’s one I have planned on adding here sometime. I needed to rewrite it with the changes and tweaks I’ve done and it struck me that it would be almost as quick to simply add it here. Then it would be here and she could […]
Birthday Blooms
Beautiful bright blooms. Brilliant sunshine streaming in. Light bouncing, dancing, catching, casting shadows, sparkling. Fantastic flowers. Fluid light flows from outside. Finding its way to fling glorious rays around. Camera clicks. Capturing radiance and freeze framing it. The splendor and the wonder in bright bouquets. A simple bud. Simply complex. I could never […]
Yarn Along {The Best Yes and Rainbow Valley and Mini and Maxi}
Linking up with Ginny and Frontier Dreams. {affiliate links included} I mentioned last week I had the idea to make several solid dishcloths. My stack is started. I finished the yellow and moved onto a coral-ly pink, completed it ~yay!~ and pulled out a golden yellow. I had an orange-striped shirt on one day and […]
A Delightful Glow is Four Years Old
The idea entered my head last week to look up when I officially posted my first blog post. I knew it was coming up, but didn’t know the exact date. I know September was my first full month of blogging in 2011, but the exact start date has never stuck with me. I’d entertained the […]
Three Things {Favorite Stuff I’ve Had For My Kiddos}
Recently, I thought about some different things and stuff and activities I’ve enjoyed with my kids through the years. These three things stood out. {You can find Seven Favorite Summertime Activities for kids over here. Two of my favorites in this post are over there too.} 1. Audiobooks I have absolutely loved having audiobooks […]
Instapost {August No. 1}
My mended clothespin apron! I’ve loved this clothespin apron. The back of it is made from burlap and early summer it started wearing some holes. I decided it could probably be repaired. My daughter showed me her stash of material and I picked out a cheery, bright dot. She took the apron and the material […]

Cheeseball snack and an afternoon with friends. {Click on cheeseball for recipe} Up and away! Oh, to have the energy and effortlessness […]
Could We With Ink The Ocean Fill
This song in this post ran through my mind a good bit while we were at the ocean. This verse from The Love of God did too. Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade, […]
Corned Beef Cheeseball
Cheeseball. It’s just a yummy snack. It intrigues me how cream cheese can be so tasty as a salty type snack and so delicious in a sweet recipe. It’s all about what you add to it! We tend to fix cheeseball around the holidays, it seems. But, I also fix it some in the summer […]
Organizing Photos In Three-Ring Binders
I love pictures. If you’ve dropped by here even just a few times, you may have figured that out. I like taking them, I like having them, I like the memories they create. I also like and appreciate all the pictures friends and family have given us over the years. Many years ago, I was […]

Yarn Along {Lizzy and Jane}
Completed!! I gave myself a quiet, little challenge in my head to finish my purple dishcloth from last week AND knit up another one, all finished, before this week. I managed it! My mother mentioned that she was knitting a pink dishcloth that would go well with the purple I was doing. That inspired me […]
Ten Things I Love About Living In the Country
Posting a list for Ten on Tuesday again! The subject was 10 things you love about visiting the country. I tweaked it to 10 Things I love about living in the country, since we live here, and are just here and don’t really have to visit. Therefore off the top of my head….. And since […]
Memoir Monday {No. 83}
Summer swings along. Fieldwork to do. Tucker has been helping out a good bit with the irrigation system checking and running the tractor some, too. The girlies stayed and it’s fun to watch Renae care for them. They swam with us and Miss A. was so fun to watch. I continue just to notice […]
In Which We Climb a Lighthouse
The Hatteras Light! I’ve climbed it twice. Eighteen years ago with my brand-new husband. This year, with my husband-of-eighteen-years and my two half-grown children and my sister and her husband and my three, getting-too-big-and-grown-up, nieces. Eighteen years ago, it was free to climb it and there was a volunteer at the top to talk […]
Three Things: Flip-Flops
I do love shoes. Let’s talk FLIP-FLOPS!! What says summertime more than flip-flops? Flip-flops are funny and make me laugh when I really think about them, but they sure are easy and handy for hot weather. Here are my current three favorite pairs of flip-flops. I’ve had lower back issues for a long, […]
