Today is Slice of Life Tuesday! Thanks go to TwoWritingTeachers.org for creating this group and hosting it each week. I have participated in this supportive writing community since February of 2017. As we continue to clean out to ready ourselves for our move next month, I am finding enjoyment in reminiscing about things I’ve found…

Foodie Monday: Time for Cherry Bounce
Several years ago I made limoncello from Meyer lemons that I grew myself on an indoor tree. It was delicious and special since I grew my own lemons. It made a great holiday gift for friends who I knew would enjoy the digestive. I’ve also made Cherry Bounce and Pomegranate Pizzaz. When we were in…

Poetry Friday: Crazy Weather and Water Wars
In the upper mid-west, we’ve gone from late winter to summer in one jump! I don’t know what happened to the spring season. Since we are moving, I only bought a small number of plants from my “personal greenhouse grower.” The plants looked great as usual and I put them in pots last Saturday. Then,…
Book Review: Moon Over Manifest
It’s been a while since I wrote a book review. Mostly, I think that is because I’ve been less than thrilled with the books I’ve read. Last last week that changed. I’ve been moving a lot of books which has given me the chance to see what I have that I never read or what…

In a few short weeks, we will own two properties in Wisconsin both fully wooded, except for the spot where are cabin is and our future residence will be placed which is a remnant prairie. Owning a wooded property is beautiful! You are amidst the seasons as they unfold before your eyes. We are lucky…
Slice of Life: Disappearing Post on School Board Seats
Last night I wrote a somewhat lengthy post about school board seats. It was a cohesive blog about the issues school boards are having now. I reviewed my own extensive involvement with our school district, as I served in numerous volunteer capacities over the 21 years my boys were in school here. As an active…
Foodie Monday: Cinco de Mayo Veg Style
We had friends over on Thursday night. A coworker of mine from the land trust we both worked at (and are now no longer working there) came for dinner with his wife. They are twenty-plus years younger than us but very enjoyable company. As it turned out, the date that worked for both us and…
Silent Sunday: Mother Earth
Today is Silent Sunday and Mother’s Day! I decided to honor the mother of us all – Mother Earth. Enjoy! All photos are copyrighted by me, Carol Labuzzetta, whether watermarked or not, there is no permission to duplicate in any form without my express permission. Thank you!
Poetry Friday: The Birth of my Chapbook is Today!
After reviewing the second proof copy of my poetry chapbook, my book will go live on Amazon later today! And, just like that, my first book will be born! I’ll be a published author of my own compilation of work! Once I have the link, I’ll come back here and post it! My book’s link…
