Inheritance

I moved into a very well established house in November (read OLD). ;)  One of the fun things (and there are MANY) about buying a well established house is that you get to discover what's present.  There was a nice flower garden in the back by the patio, but I really didn't know what was planted there on purpose and what weeds had overtaken the nice black soil... There were some really tall left-overs which I now know are Tiger Lillies and some cone flowers and day lilies.  I added a lavender plant and a few other perenials....oh and of course a fairy statue because I know that the fairies are with me when I'm working in my garden and I wanted them to be around the shamrock plants.. :)  Yes I know those are weeds, but they are weeds I keep because they are shamrocks. ;)
Tiger Lillies.... Princess? :)



Three big barrel planters also were inherited with the house.  Two of them are growing weeds and some new maple trees, but one of them is growing a new raspberry plant and a tomato plant!  I did not plant either!  There are flowers on the tomato plant so hopefully we will get some fruit off of that inheritance!

Inheritance can also be a pain in the arse.... like the old pipes that drain as slow as molasses and now take a few hours to drain after a shower.... I guess I will have to find a good plumber... or remodel the bathroom. ;)

Inheritance... an adventure for sure!

What Does Your Fun Look Like?

I was listening to an interview of Allison Armstrong yesterday.. she's a woman who's studied men for 20 years and how women can better relate to them.  She had an interesting topic:  "What does your fun look like?"  And she talked about it by illustrating how different 'types' respond to this scenario: A friend comes to you and tells you 'I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.' What's your response to this?  Mine was 'COOL'! :)  Which I later came to know was the response of an 'Enjoyer'. :)  Her other types were 'Builder', 'Sharer', 'Expresser', and 'Growers and Knowers'. A Builder would respond with something like 'Why would you be learning this?  When will you use it?'  An Enjoyer (me) would respond like 'Sounds like fun!'.  A Sharer would respond with something like 'With whom are you doing that?'.  An Expresser might respond: "What do you want to say in Mandarin?&qu

What do I want to BE? What do I want to DO?

 AH HA I just remembered you today - lovely blogita.   It seems I missed 2021 in my blog posts, but here we are in 2022 - so nice and even.  This year is going to have at least one post.  So here goes: Second day post-termination thoughts:  I have so much time!  I could start a project.  I could read The Brothers Karamazov as I have been meaning to do.  I could clean (you can always clean), but that may go against my newer found philosophy of 'It's Better Than it Was'.... which is doing some to mitigate the mess, but not worrying about perfection. I had an interview yesterday.  That was weird.... just the getting up and getting dressed and leaving the house for a work appointment.  I had fun.  I like people.  I got lost.  I talked to the ceiling/heaven.  I laughed.  I used a parable in my answer.  Gees... where did that come from?  Heaven maybe? :) Tis time to shower.... I'm a bit oiled up after a 90 min massage that cost $189.  That's bloated.  I felt like the ther

Cycle of Downturns - a Poem

I'm noticing for you because I can feel it. which is kind of the point, You can't. This is where I retreat. I am not here to do your work. What is the loving response? Only you know what's there to transform. This is cycle number three. No change has disrupted the relapse. You are not present. You have receded into hiding. Here I am telling you what you need to do. It feels icky and uneven. Perspectives can be so far apart. I know I can't remain. <3 EE
