It’s About Blooming Time!

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography/ 10 Comments/ 556

I don’t claim to be a good gardener and with all of the plant loving critters that live in our yard and forest it is a constant battle to keep any plants looking decent. So when my front yard looks good, I have to gloat Continue reading →

Obviously

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 516

I am often astounded by the labels that accompany products these days. I bought a new curling brush and saw this label on it when I unboxed it. Seriously. I guess they have to label things to avoid lawsuits but really? I would hope that Continue reading →

No Thank You!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 26 Comments/ 539

I really should have put that title in all caps but I didn’t want to shock anyone. Last week when we were babysitting our darling grandson this was the phrase that we heard often. The favorite phrase used to be “No dis” meaning of course, Continue reading →

I’ve Got Troubles

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 30 Comments/ 637

Troubles. I’ve got a few. A couple weeks ago my internet was wonky. It’s difficult to be a social media addict and have internet woes so I sent an email to our provider to let them know that service was spotty. I went onto their Continue reading →

Stuck and Irritated

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 26 Comments/ 812

Stuck. Irritated. That describes a lot of things but today it is a condition that I find myself in. I had a lovely salad for lunch filled with kale and cabbage and brussels sprouts and other lovely items. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Until an hour Continue reading →

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
