WHITE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 23:42:31 GMT

White, some argue, is not a color; it is an absence of color. Pardon me if I don't agree. In fashion, it's a color. I love white. I wear white. I sleep in white and on white. I wrap myself in fluffy white towels and robes. I will only use white toilet paper, buy only white underwear, socks and nightgowns. My car is white. My dog is white. My house is white. Too much? Probably. But I swear by... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

free trees

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:01:58 GMT

The National Arbor Foundation gives away 10 free trees with membership. Membership is only 15 dollars yearly. You can donate your free trees to anyone you wish so it might be helpful to donate to a Trees For the Future organization. The trees come bare root and are usually small. I plant mine in a group by my pond in an area where they are less likely to be trampled by big gangling household pe... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Ponding is the best green thing

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:32:27 GMT

A crumbling old retaining wall no more than four feet wide fronting a weed nest hole of the same size was wrecking the visual harmony of my house. Wouldn't it be nice, I thought, since there's already a hole dug out, to turn this into a little water feature with a bridge. That was twelve years ago and the beginning of my journey into being a pond keeper. I fully admit, ecology was not the first ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Baby Bumps Change Shape of the Future

My first thought on learning news of a close niece's pregnancy was not
Then the visions of the old school stepped in with fabrics that should only be covering couches, hideous smocks with ruching just above the breast area designed to make you look 14 sizes larger; and ugly stretchy pants made of materials that wouldn't disintegrate millions of years in the future.
No matter where you were... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

My Grandma's beautiful skin

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 21:28:31 GMT

My grandmother, Maria, an Italian immigrant died on February 19, 1998, nearly ten years ago. Her face has not faded in my memory nor is it ever likely that it will.
My conversations with her, especially the ones that taught me things to use in life, I can still recite verbatim. Nearly everything I ever learned that turned out to be important in life came from her. Absolutely everything I

It's Time For Some Fashion Class

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 20:05:27 GMT

It’s a which- came -first- the- chicken -or -egg kind of thing. Does fashion move civilization forward or does civilization dictate fashion? In this loosely based, anything goes, dressed down and dumbed-down climate, fashion has fallen into disrespect. And perhaps rightfully so.
This is, after all, a world of tank tops and flip-flops; jeans wore so low that underwear shows; prison garb; and short... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]
