OldDogBlog was inspired by our dog's tendency to lunge at everyone in the 'hood. I had just quit my job, and briefly considered training him and writing a blog about it. The OldDogBlog! Alas, when the sake-tinis wore off I realized that the old dog most in need of new tricks is me. So this is the story of my own hopeful transformation from a hard-working, stressed-out, and unfulfilled professional, to the new me, whoever she may be. Can I find satisfaction in the suburbs, on a shoestring?

The Joy of Pruning
When I am pruning, time stands still. In fact, it's all I'm doing this afternoon. I just ran inside to look up a particular plant, and then I'm getting right back at it. The house is a mess; I don't care! There are shrubs to prune, flowers to plant, beds to amend, weeds to pull, and a forecast calling for rain all weekend. Today is my day to sculpt in the backyard.
