Organizing - it's contageous, in a good way





















Our household has evolved with the help of Pook and the many ideas and great products she has shared. The results are comforting and practical. Even Munchy sleeps better knowing his kibble and canned food are neatly stowed beneath the counter in roll out baskets. Troy Bear no longer hunts for a plastic bag to save Munchy's food till later. The Command clip inside the cupboard door has them ready at all times. Our laundry products, light bulbs and Swiffer dusters are available whenever the urge to clean strikes.
Thanks, Pook!

They're Back!!




Spring has sprung in a big way. Munchy knows a good spot to nap, underneath the Cecil Brunner rosebush that fills one corner of the backyard fence. He's got Sterling Silver and Angel Face leaning down over him adding to the perfume in the air. Ahh. Life is sweet!

Puppy Kindergarten


Pook and Stella invited me to join them for Puppy Kindergarten on Thursday evening. Stella was the belle of the class. Her social skills are impeccable and she is fun-loving too. Here Stella is greeting Masha, a timid spaniel.

Optimal Conditions




This is my idea of the best surroundings for thinking clearly. Yes, it's my workstation and it always looks like this.

Workstations




I'm amazed at the amount of stuff that can be amassed in a workstation. This one is so densely packed it's a wonder how it functions at all.

Grandpa's Camellia


This lovely blossom is known internationally and has been named best in show many times. What a charming tribute to grandma!

More Plants



The cute little Mason jar is part of the plant propagating kit Pook gave me for Christmas. The spider plant is one she started and shared with me. Ours is a family of dedicated gardener/horticulturists. Pook's grandpa hybridized a Camellia and named it after her grandma.
