The Amazing Mind Posted on October 26, 2012October 26, 2012 By pamela This is a good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer’s is a long, long, ways down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you. 7H15 M3554G3 53RV35 7O PR0V3 H0W 0UR M1ND5 C4N… Read more

Habits Posted on October 17, 2012October 17, 2012 By pamela It’s sure hard to change habits, isn’t it?!?!

A gardener’s journal… or a summer log… a season’s log… I’m making one of these so that I can keep a running log of what’s going on in the garden — and what’s *supposed* to be going on ~wink~ in the garden. As an example… my entries… Read more
