Linda Kauffeldt is a writer by day and a reader by night. For as long as she can remember, words have been dancing in her head waiting to be transformed into stories about her life experiences and sometimes misadventures. She has a dark and sarcastic sense of humour which she adds to her essays like dashes of salt and pepper. Linda writes honestly about her experiences living with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) and social anxiety disorder, while navigating her grief journey after the sudden death of her son in 2017. When not writing, Linda can be found walking her lovable Australian Shepherd, Daisy, along the Algonquin Trail near her home. She also loves spending time with her husband at their log cabin in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and chocolate ice cream. She absolutely loves chocolate ice cream.

Crooked cabbage rows are still cabbages, right? That’s the important part in the end! 🙂 Enjoying reading your blog!
They certainly are! It took me awhile to realize that and now I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for dropping by to the Cabbage Patch. 🙂
wait just a darned second! You mean the rows are SUPPOSED to be straight? since when, huh? I don’t wanna make em straight! they will never grow ……….okay, rant over….headed out to the garden with a yard stick and a shovel….dang it all
I knew you were my kind of people when I found your blog. I’ve been told by the beautiful family gardeners before me that the rows are indeed supposed to be straight. Since the green thumb gene never made it to me, I think my crooked rows speak volumes to my family, “I’ll do it my way, gawd dammit!”. So, hold off with that yard stick and shovel, we’re perfect just the way we are.
Thank you so much for the shout out! I truly appreciate it and am deeply humbled by the nod. 🙂 <3
I like crooked rows too ! t’s so much more – creative and free 🙂 Came over from Dawn’s random bits to have a walk in your cabbage patch
It’s never dull here in the Cabbage Patch and the crooked and uneven rows just add to it. I’m so happy that you like crooked rows as well; we’re going to get along famously! 🙂
I’m really liking HC a.k.a. Crazy cat lady. I would like to know if she could send me some imaginary cabbage. Yeah, I’m trying to east healthier.
Sending a whole barrel full of imaginary cabbage your way…hopefully, they help you eat healthier. Thanks for dropping by the Cabbage Patch; I look forward to getting to know you and to following your blog. 🙂

What a great About page, Linda. It certainly brought a smile or three to my face. 🙂 As for the idea of cabbages in straight rows… what does it matter as long as the individual cabbages are perfect?
It’s great to know you Linda/HC and I know already I’ll enjoy exploring your cabbage patch.:)
Awww, thanks again, Millie, for your kind words. I have always measured my day’s success by whether or not I made at least one person smile and laugh. You have made my day by telling me that my About page made you smile. It’s truly the little things that matter most in life. I’m looking forward to following your blog and getting to know you better. 🙂
Hello Linda: Thank you for visiting my website and choosing to follow. I just had a lovely visit around your lovely, lighthearted website, and look forward to following your adventures. All my best to you. 🐞
Hello, JoHanna,
Thank you for dropping by the Cabbage Patch. I look forward to following your blog and getting to know you. 🙂
Loved this. Highly allergic to cats, I lay claim “crazy dog lady.” My little Shih Tzu TinkerToy goes almost everywhere I do – and his fans recognize him first, interested in the person at the other end of the leash only in passing.
Search for “Menage a Moi” on my blog (top right) for my humorous take on who I am. From what I read, you’ll most certainly relate.

I definitely will read it. It’s funny how we can be defined by our wee fur babies first and foremost. And I have the cat hair to prove it (but I will visit you from a distance so as not to cause your allergies to act up).
lol. Now that I am older, with the help of today’s OTC allergy medications, as long as I don’t touch the cat (or touch my face after touching anything in the room of a cat-keeper), I’m okay for a fairly lengthy visit.
When I was in college I couldn’t even sit next to someone who lived in a “cat-house” without uncontrollable sneezing fits. Interesting hopping around movie theatres, hoping that nobody with a cat had to crawl over me to make a trip to the concession stand or the bathroom. 🙂
I see you have a dog as well – similar to mine. My last Shih Tzu. Tabitha lived to be 19 – hearing and vision primarily gone for her final 2-1/2 years – but she was still the same lovable pup inside and clearly wanted to be here. She was the color of a tabby-cat as a puppy – thus the name.
I wish I could get a kitty for 2 year old TinkerToy – he needs somebody to keep him amused when I have my fingers on the keyboard and my gaze frozen on the monitor.
xx,
mgh
I love your sense of creativity and humor. Life is easier when I can laugh. Thank you so much for your contribution to the blogging world. I will be following.

Linda: It was lovely seeing your name flit across my blog today. Next time you float by, leave a message even if it is only to say I am full of beans..or some other noxious materiel….
I tried to leave a comment … especially one to let you know that I would be dropping by one of these days to taste test your delicious sounding recipe … but I wasn’t able to as it said that ‘comments were closed’.
I am slowing getting back into the groove of reading again which encourages me immensely.
What time do you usually serve dinner????
