Garden Progress

Some of you have been asking how the garden is looking these days.  It's growing in quite nicely.  Remember what it looked like way back when we planted the herb garden and the back?  Saturday I did some transplanting and trimming.  Here are the herb garden and back garden as they look now.  The front yard needs to grow in a little bit more before we show it off.

I’m a nerd, it’s true….

But seriously, how cool is Lonny's new issue where Michelle Adams, editor in chief narrates her "letter from the editor" in embedded video format.Now, that's using technology to it's fullest. Why should online magazines be static flip books like their older cousins? And I love how you can click on an item you love and they'll send you directlyto the manufacturer's website or to a site that... Read more

Re-purpose

Purchased these fun thingumabobs at an Hancock Park estate sale this weekend.  What do you guys think I should do with 'em?  Candle sticks perhaps?  Except then they'd all be the same height which is no fun. Read more
