Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

     I have several things on my plate right now that will take a good deal of my time.  Finding the time, in my blessedly full days, to get these things accomplished will be difficult.  In the next several days I need to get a few of these projects completed, and the rest well on the way towards completion.…

It’s been a whirlwind!  We’ve been on the move and on the go all day.  My header claims that I share bits and pieces of my days, but today is heavy on the “bits” and there are only tiny “pieces”.  I understand that the comments feature here has not been working right today.  I do…

Aaaahhhh, Monday!  After a lovely day of Sabbath rest, I woke up before the alarm sounded rested and ready for the week.  That’s unusual for me!  It was nice having the quiet house to myself for awhile to do some planning for the day over that first cup of hot tea.  The sound of Will’s…

     Here’s our menu for the upcoming week.  Lots of tried and true family favorites this week.  We are trying one new thing for breakfast – grits.  Those of you in the south will forgive me, but I’ve never had grits.  Corin has had plenty of preparation tips from her on-line southern friends, and my grandbabies love…

There are days that I wish that we could just get together for a cup of tea.  I could ask you what was on your mind, and we could chat, one on one.  Wouldn’t that be nice?  That thought occurred to me more than once today as I worked a bit in my parlor.  It…

The dailies.  The things we do every day.  The stuff of which are lives are made up.  Boring?  Nah, never boring.  Besides, as my mother-in-love always said, “Only boring people get bored”, and she was right.  She usually was.  I, for one, very much enjoy the “dailies” in my life, and never tire of them. …

It rained, buckets and buckets and buckets.  The wind blew.  Hard.  The weather man reported gusts up to 80 mph, and I’m fairly certain we had a couple of those pass through because of the damage done.  The animal pens were flooded, with no dry ground for the animals to stand on for hours at…
