I’ve Lost Enough Time

November 14, 2022November 14, 2022 / Elaina / Leave a comment

I’ve had a heck of a day.  Anxiety has been out of this world - stealing time on this last day of the Veterans Day weekend. I’ve worked enough hours lately that after a quick work task this morning, I was planning on spending my last day at home - writing, cooking, & decorating. That’s … Continue reading I’ve Lost Enough Time

Change of Seasons

September 5, 2022 / Elaina / 1 Comment

Yesterday, I was out on my patio watering my plants. I swear I didn’t see this much yellow (there was no red) in the jungly vines in the woods.
