Cozy Fires….Organizing…& Shut Downs
Good evening on this soggy, stormy and dark autumn night! We are all snuggled in, sitting on the couch cozy and warm by the fire place. Love stormy nights! A few updates....nothing major as far as planting goes, we still need to get the bulbs in the ground soon....maybe this weekend when the grand kids …
New Ideas….Tried and Trues…& Investments
Greetings on this beautiful Friday morning. I have today off from my real job, so I'm taking advantage of it – not entirely sure what I will be doing. Curtains to be finished for my daughter, and sunflowers to come down in the sunflower bed, perhaps I can do both? Seems reasonable at least? I …
Grape Vine Wreaths….Pink is not the only color….& Perennial Garden
Happy November 1st! What a crazy year it has been! How in the world did it get to be November? Yesterday's wreath event went very well – 5 wreath makers yesterday, and 6 wreath makers the week before and 5 wreath makers the week before that- count the kits that I've sold and it adds …

My Why’s….What For’s….& How
Greetings on a soggy Sunday early morning. I find myself snuggled in with the cat and dog piled around me while it drizzles outside- still dark at 6:44 - what happened-Just a month ago I was outside at this time taking beautiful morning pictures of the fields....time marches on. As autumn settles in I find …
Work Space Introduction
I decided it was time to do some cleaning.... It’s certainly not the prettiest.....or the biggest, but she’s mine...introducing my work space—AKA the milk house! It needed some cleaning up! Someday it will be a bit bigger & not so breezy—the windows will be fixed!! And the freezer won’t need to double as my work …
Indian Summers….Sly Visitors & Success!!
Happy Saturday morning, I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. We've had a few storms blow through the last few days, but upon checking in the fields, it all looks like it's okay so far. It is supposed to warm back up for one last round of Summer - back up …
Next Year’s Line Up
For someone who says she's cutting back, there certainly is a lot of seeds here. But keep in mind, I will not be planting all 100/50/25 seeds in the packet to go in my garden. They will be started by seed, and most of them sold. I really like that Johnny Select seeds allows me …
