Today, I walked in the Independence Day parade in the Town of Grand Island, New York. OK, well, sometimes, I walked. Sometimes, I handed out packets of seeds, and, sometimes, I took pictures. And, sometimes, I ran to catch up! Here are some of the images of Independence Day 2019: Here are the cowboys (and […]

Sometimes, I imagine that I really am peering into a crystal ball. So, when today’s blogging prompt suggested  talking about the future of my blog.  I don’t really know where my blog is taking me as I head into the future. I do know that this blog has been a great source of joy for

On January 1st, I embarked upon a crochet adventure. I had decided to crochet every day and to donate the creations that I made along the way to where ever I thought they could help. So far, I have completed two afghans, and I am working on my third. This is a work in progress,

I bet that you’re saying that all of that rain has addled Alice’s brain. Hmm… too much rain on the brain causes a strain… I’d better refrain. But this is my blog so I can write nonsense rhymes if I so choose. Today, however, I need to continue talking about spring unfolding and use words that

Today is the official end of the Ultimate Blog Challenge and the Blogging from A to Z challenge. As you can see, I’m a bit behind, since my letter of the day is “W,” not “Z.” But that’s OK. I definitely intend to finish the alphabet. And then, I plan on going on to another “Spring
