More garden content… I’ve been thinking about starting another blog for my garden and things related to that (herbal medicine) because there may be a lot of that in the nearby future, but I decided to just keep it all together and go with the flow. This blog has always been very personal and changing…

Three in the garden
Before the lockdown, I had big plans for the garden. I had some work to finish and then I’d spend most of my days doing what I love most. Well, that sort of backfired. First of all, that work took a lot long longer than I thought (still not done). Then I started to feel…
DITL :: 4.8-10.2020
Good morning! Trying to catch up again (though I have a really hard time to find words today). This was Wednesday. I decided to be done with that headache and went shopping. I did it! And that was all I did that day. Just a headache (no cough, no fever), but it keeps going a…

I wasn’t feeling well these past few days. Headache. Not Covid-19 (I think – no other symptoms). Just a normal cluster headache, that lasts for a few days. I didn’t feel like blogging or taking pictures, but I hope things are back to normal now (Wednesday), so here’s some catching up. Saturday morning it was…
DITL :: 4.3.2020
Good morning! Yes. Every. Single. Day. It’s sweet, but I wish he’d learn to retract his nails… I had an off day. It took me hours and hours to work through my normal bookkeeping chores. I was not interested in the news either, though I did watch the daily press conference to check if there…
DITL :: 4.2.2020
Good morning! Actually, I had been awake for about half an hour before I took this picture. Made some coffee and tea, knit a bit until it was light enough to read (yes, we’re outside on the porch already). This is after breakfast and after cleaning the kitchen, making the second pot of coffee for…
DITL :: 4.1.2020
On my Dutch blog, I started posting “day in the life” blogs last week. Don’t know why, but I felt a pull towards documenting the normal parts of my days as well as the things that are so different right now.I decided that I might as well copy those posts and translate them for this…
One word, three things
Looking back at the last time I posted about my one word for the year, I can hardly believe how much has changed in just one month. My word, “accept”, has a whole new meaning now. Things I (we) have to accept right now: :: rules. No matter what we think of it, I do…
Knitting & Reading
Reading: finished another book by Janet Evanovich. I love her writing!And I started a more serious (thick) one. In English, it’s called The Bible of Clay and it’s one of those thrillers that revolve around ancient texts (in this case the stories of Genesis as told by Abraham). I’m not sure what I think of…
On a lighter note
Hm, that was a depressing post, wasn’t it? I don’t want to delete it, but we could use something else to think about. So here’s a bonus post about something silly.The cat brought a blau-blau (a blue lizard, about the size of a big mouse or a small rat) with him to play with. He…
