Our Life Is Frittered Away by Detail
Simplify, Simplify

I love the picture. I am one of those people that is always getting rid of stuff. I don't want my children to have to get rid of all kinds of junk when I am gone. My girls went through that with their paternal grandmother not long ago. She lived in a huge old house and it was packed from one end to the other with a lifetime of things. They are still going through boxes and getting rid of things and it has been several years.

Hello Ernestine

Your garden looks beautiful. My husband and I are planing to plant palm trees in our land. They've just delivered 50 baby palm trees today. It'll be a very big job.

I took photos of my house today. If you have time, you can visit http://picasaweb.google.com/jessicajazz
I posted pictures of my house building process. People seem to have fun looking at those pics. They are also surprised the building was so fast.

Looking forward to see your recipes.

Best wishes,
Jessi

Wonderful picture. It looks beautiful, like an English cottage garden. And by the way, I love all your book lists, and the titles esp. 'patiently waiting.'
