Even in my infinite wisdom, I sometimes find I have nothing to talk about. (Ha) So, I’m going to share more of what I love…FOOD! As businesses open and lock downs are lifted soon, we will have more contact with others and may find ourselves in contact with more illnesses (not just Covid-19). So to …
Okay! Quick recipe post for you guys today. Well because when stuck at home, what better way to pass the time than to binge watch a new tv series (I’m watching the Mentalist.) and eat. I know that gyms are probably closed so please take it slow with this one. We don’t want to come …
We took a short field trip on Friday. We were able to pick strawberries and have lunch. Most importantly we got some fresh air and sunshine. While there, of course, we saw people picking strawberries with masks and/or gloves. My oldest, who is slightly aware of what’s going on right now, noticed and began to …
I could make this week’s blog about all the chaotic, uncertain, pandemic mess going on in our world right now. BUT I won’t. I can’t tell you how I hate the fear mongering media and “all but truth telling” government divisions that have so many scared that we all are going to die at any …

There may be droughts, bad seeds, or just misfortune. I encourage you to use these times and moments to learn and grow as a gardener. …
I am typing this in the midst of an illness that has kept almost our entire family sick since last Tuesday. Please forgive me for being brief (and any errors). A very important part of gardening for me is my seeds. I simply love browsing through tons of websites and catalogs each year to find …
Last week, I talked about soil, and how it’s teeming with life. Good soil is a major factor in having a healthy, successful garden each year. Two more things that are also needed for a healthy garden are sunlight and water. I know you’re thinking “Duh! That’s obvious.” Hey, I didn’t say I was reinventing …
This month I will be talking all about gardening. The days are getting longer, and Spring will soon be here. It’s time to start thinking about and planting our gardens. I’m not an expert gardener by any means. I am learning so much as I go along though. I previously thought you just put a …
