war and peace


They're back. I got a migraine at a baseball game a few weeks ago -- one of those really, really bad ones that require total silence and darkness to feel even remotely okay. The next day it still wasn't completely gone, which is unusual. Since then my head has been at war with the rest of my body, and I've been battling several headaches a week. It's like living in a constant fog.

Peace has finally come to the garden in the form of rain -- real rain -- several times this week. Peace also comes to mind every time I look at this orchid that finally bloomed last weekend. These certainly rival the beauty of my favorite hibiscus.

Step-by-step guide to making and canning your own jam coming soon -- contingent on headache frequency.
