You will not see a greener lap top than this one

Personal lawn

… am I right or am I right? ;)

Having my own laptop lawn is deeply satisfying.

This is: potting soil, grass seeds, and a glass pie dish.

This is spring grass. It’s green, so green. The stalks are very slender and bright. It smells fresh. It’s a reminder of things that make me happy.

It’s been growing for a couple of weeks. Today might be the day I give it a trim with the kitchen scissors. Oh, I love the smell of freshly cut grass.

That is some great grass! Wish my front lawn and backyard lawn looked that ‘green’!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
