Southern Frugal Friday
With the uncertain economy, we’ve all had to cut back (if you haven’t – lucky you!). I’ve collected a few tips for saving money that I use and am passing them along. I would love to hear what your favorite tips are! Grow a garden – this is a favorite. Save on all those great…

Southern Storms
It is storm season in the South again. We had a nice one come through yesterday. A lot of rain and wind with a little thunder and lightening thrown in. It wasn’t too bad. When I was a little girl, I was terrified of storms. I would get sick whenever the tornado sirens went off.…

Southern Lady Bug
Yesterday, after working at my computer all day, I finally got myself out to the back porch to read a little. I saw my first lady bug of the season. This was a little bitty one. The poor thing was crawling around on my table and kept getting itself turned upside down. Then it would…

Southern Spring!!!
It’s finally here – the 1st day of Spring. Okay, the weather has already been nice for a while but now it is official. I’ve got on my robin’s egg blue jacket and I’m ready. A lot of people have more energy when the weather is colder but give me a warm spring day and…

Southern Yellow Bird
2 days to Spring! Hope everyone had a happy St. Patrick’s Day. Mine was very busy. I am doing a 3 hour seminar on Friday on blogging and social media for businesses for the Arkansas Small Business & Technology Development Center. After I finished yesterday, I went out and sat on my back porch and…

Southern St. Patrick’s
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Hope you are wearing your green so you won’t get pinched. I remember as a kid people who didn’t wear green would say they were wearing green underwear so you wouldn’t pinch them. Didn’t you hate that? One of the biggest celebrations in the U. S. of St. Patrick’s Day is…

Southern Time
9 days to Spring! I must apologize to those of you who stop by early. As much as I love daylight saving time, it takes me awhile to adjust. It seems the older I get the longer it takes to adjust. When I was a kid I don’t remember taking any time. Anyway, as my…

Southern Sprouts
10 days to Spring! The seeds that I planted last week are coming right along. The tarragon and basil have already sprouted. The cantaloupe I pre-planted is also coming up quickly. I had to plant a few things that germinate fast to help me have patience for the other things that take longer like the…

Southern Spring Fever
15 Days to Spring! If you’ve been reading this blog this week, you know I have it – Spring Fever. Spring fever has appeared in love poems, stories and medical literature. There have even scientific studies to try to define it and it’s symptoms. Personally, I don’t need a scientific study. I know the signs…

Small Southern Town
16 days until Spring Just some random things running around in my head. I was at the grocery store the other day comparing prices on crackers. Another lady who was shopping said to me, “It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?” We went on to discuss the rising prices of items. I had never met this lady. As…

Southern Beginnings
17 days until Spring! I saw daffodils blooming yesterday! Now, I feel like I’m on a mission – there must be more somewhere. I’m also really enjoying the cardinal family that is visiting my bird feeder. From where I’m sitting, writing this, I can look out the window and see the bird feeder in the…
