Time to Garden
Our weather has had me questioning when to plant my cool weather crops. We had a colder then normal winter with many feet of snow. Our winter has only been followed by a cooler than normal spring. Although we are expecting a nice warm weekend, we will be back to below normal temperatures again nextContinue reading “Time to Garden”
Shop Til You Drop
We left early Friday morning for another property shopping trip and looked at a total of 8 properties. By the end of the day Saturday, I was exhausted. We saw some beautiful properties, but each of them had something that just didn’t appeal to us. Not that we are expecting to find any property thatContinue reading “Shop Til You Drop”

Overwhelmed by the amount of yard work that needs to be done. Overwhelmed by the amount of spring cleaning I have to do. So how does oneContinue reading “Overwhelmed”
Back in Business
After a couple of days of some wonderful tinctures made by my friend Katie at The Garden Fairy Apothecary, I am feeling considerably better. Last time I started using her tinctures at the first sign of getting sick and didn’t get sick at all. This time I waited too long, but with hours of taking my first doseContinue reading “Back in Business”
Springtime Cold
Last time my family was sick, I avoided getting sick by downing Echinacea tinctures. Unfortunately, I hadn’t restocked my supply of Echinacea, and on Sunday I began feeling a bit under the weather. By yesterday, a springtime cold had grabbed hold of me and I was down for the count. This morning I began looking thru myContinue reading “Springtime Cold”
If At First You Don’t Succeed

So here is the March challenge. I will make work-outs part of my weekly routine. I will reduce my groceryContinue reading “If At First You Don’t Succeed”
