Welcome to my new blog!


Good morning!  I've recently moved back into my childhood home in the woods of Maryland.  My sister suggested that I start a blog to share some of the things that I do to keep busy in between caring for my elderly father.  

Early days here were spent making accommodations for his care--moving the hospital bed into our living room and gathering equipment and supplies for home care.  A lot of decluttering happened, too!

Then I started taking care of house maintenance that had been somewhat neglected in recent years, and this is an ongoing task!

It was very exciting to get a new front door installed, complete with doggie door!



Other ongoing projects include my indoor gardening and learning how to make cheese, walks in the woods, and exploring Southern Maryland on those hours that I manage to get out of the house!

I've got ambitious plans for building a chicken coop, planting a bank of blueberries and some fruit trees.  The journey continues!
