Last summer was plenty of fun. Our little fella—the Kid—was one, and he was toddling around well enough to play in the fountain at our city park and enjoy a good ice cream cone. We discovered the joy of summer band concerts and the pool, and he was even a little bit interested in fireworks on the 4th of July.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/KtrD4vGz_0U" height="1" width="1"/>

Dating back to the time when we moved into our house, just a few years ago, everyone who knows anything about trees has noticed the same thing. "That tree is dying. It needs to come down." Sweet Husband always raises an eyebrow at me and shakes his head, knowing exactly...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/W3_iM9x-tE8" height="1" width="1"/>

One of the gifts children give to their parents, I've decided, is their utterly unpredictable memory. On the one hand, the Kid has been noting for weeks that "the water is on" every single time we drive by the fountain in our main city park. On the other hand, when...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/bKvFOYOr4D4" height="1" width="1"/>

If I were a better gardener, I would go out in the early spring and plant one row of radishes every week for a month. Then I could harvest them just a slowly, enjoying just a few at a time until midsummer. Instead, on whatever day ends up being the...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/3Z0rKGTvdLI" height="1" width="1"/>

Does anyone else have this problem? I buy big packages of yarn needles. I stash them in my purse and with my knitting stuff and with my sewing stuff and in my jars of craft supplies. But when it comes time to weave in ends, I never have a yarn...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/lXxfZg5x9KQ" height="1" width="1"/>
