Second Star South: September 2014
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. Insects Again, I Guess. So I've had this Bird of Paradise bush for about five years now, first in a pot, then planted next to the house. It never bloomed - until just this past month, apparently. Notice the big chew holes in the leaves. I haven't seen what is eating it. However.. Take a look-see at this cocoon, or whatever it is. Now there is some architecture to that sucker! Looks like it's made of tiny sawed-off sticks, not more than 1/4 inch long. There were more than 45...

Second Star South: Your Morning Smoothie
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2016/08/your-morning-smoothie.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2016. Hmmm, I am not in love with my new phone - my peach smoothie looks much peachier in real life - fresh peach, a few red grapes, vanilla yoghurt, pecans and some orange juice. I've been loading up my freezer with lots of fresh fruit since a smoothie a day is good for the soul, and these peaches are fabulous right now. Here is my freezer drawer at the moment:.

Second Star South: August 2014
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Picked up the makings for a new project, identical twin bed quilts to brighten up Mum's newly painted guest room. Ma had turquoise on her mind for her new room (wood laminate flooring, white walls) and these colors will make it nice and bright and cheery (please don't judge by my crappy photos). I have both tops done now except for a bit of a 3 or 4 inch white border, then we'll bind it in a darker turquoise, I think. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Second Star South: July 2016
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 20, 2016. Here are some pictures from our visit to Moab, Utah and Arches National Park. Jamie, Isabella and Evie walking down to the Colorado River. At Arches National Park:. Our sketcher, Evie - she's becoming quite the geologist. She has a rock tumbler and some serious-looking rock-hound equipment. They take weekend adventures looking for cool rocks. When I zoom in you can see this guy standing down there playing. So beautiful and a little eerie. Natural acoustics! Saturday, July 9, 2016.

Second Star South: November 2014
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. With some misgivings, I decided to knit Ruthanne a sweater for school. She attends Christ the King Pre-School, wears a uniform, and needed a plain black cardigan. I was determined to face my fear of seams. Don't you just love pre-school pictures? Here is cutie-pie Marcus leaning over the car seat. I am putty when he turns those big brown eyes my way. So, the sweater. I studied and studied various knitting tutorials on the internet and, ta-da! Even the underarm is fairly neat.

Second Star South: Oh Lucinda
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2016/06/oh-lucinda.html
Thursday, June 30, 2016. Now I'm after that back highway. And the longest bridge I've ever crossed. No lie, I generally have a Lucinda Williams song running through my head. I have loved her voice ever since my brother Doug told me her recording of. She wrote it, after all) was better than Mary Chapin Carpenter's cover. So when I started looking at routes through Lousiana and Texas I knew there were a couple of towns we had to breeze through and a couple of lakes to cross. And look for my joy.". Evie's l...

Second Star South: July 2014
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Absent from your poor neglected blog for weeks and weeks, and you mark your return with a photo of the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile? I know, but it was my favorite vehicle from a recently attended car show. We've been traveling and visiting, but are home now and I need to get myself organized, like, right now.

Second Star South: Not A Political Post...
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2016/11/not-political-post.html
Friday, November 11, 2016. Not A Political Post. Dad, he's going to drop bombs on people! Because Jim and I, despite our bumbling about, somehow managed to raise two good, decent men who are fabulous fathers, Jamie gave his girls a quick Civics lesson (so proud! About checks and balances, Congress, etc. Apparently middle schools are still a hotbed of political conversation - remember Khrushchev's bellowing outbursts in the very early 1960's?

Second Star South: June 2014
http://secondstarsouth.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Weather People Are Amazing. There was a pretty nasty apartment fire over Tampa way this afternoon, thought to have been sparked by a lightning strike. I can't remember seeing lightning strike maps very much up North, but here in the Lightning Strike Capital of the United States, we see them every day on the news. The apartment is on fire. Nobody has been hurt, all residents evacuated and the fire is out now, but isn't that just amazing? I was amazed. - cds. Saturday, June 7, 2014.
