I really don’t like all of the Christmas decorations showing up before Thanksgiving! I don’t know about you, but holidays have been stretched out WAY too long! Every holiday occasion now seems to last weeks, and sometimes months. It really seems to take the special out of it. I don’t do a lot of decorating …
Thankfulness
It’s one of my favorite times of year. I love the fall. I love watching the trees become more colorful for a short time, then turn brown and shed their leaves. Going from beautiful, lush green to brilliant color before they rest for the winter. Thanksgiving might be seen that way. The summer growing season …
Getting ready for winter
Thanksgiving is almost here, and the cold wet weather is on it’s way too. Gotta get ready! Where the heck did this year go? I don’t remember having a summer. Well we did. It got really hot, and the grasshoppers came and ate my garden. Then the deer ate whatever was left. So I guess …
Do you experiment with recipes?
I love finding new recipes! You could almost say it is my hobby (well, one of them!). I find them on the internet, YouTube, Facebook, magazines, books... everywhere! I don’t know about you but there is almost always that one thing. When I read a recipe, I can almost taste it! That’s probably odd, but …
It’s a good time to reconnect…
It has been quite a while since I have posted here, but I am going to try to be more faithful to posting. If you are new to my blog, welcome! For those of you that followed me before, thank you! For the last year I have put most of my focus into my YouTube …
Busy Day
Today is going to be one of those non-stop days. We will be heading off to church soon. First things first. But tonight we are going to my sister's soon to be home to have a celebration! Her anniversary, and two birthdays! Brian is smoking a brisket on his Pit Boss smoker. As soon as …
Friends
Isn't it funny how you come across people, and all of a sudden you know exactly why they came into your life? Sometimes it will because you need their love, encouragement or support. Sometimes they will need the same. Sometimes you both do. It's funny. I used to be painfully shy. No really. So shy …
Just one of those days…
It's hot. At least 100 degrees today. To top it off, I had to make a trip to Costco. The shopping isn't too bad. It's the part where you have to load your car, then unload when you get home. And it was a Costco trip. Ugh. Then, apparently shortly after I got home, I …
Kombucha
Has anyone else tried making their own kombucha? If you haven't heard of it, it is a fermented sweet tea, full of good probiotics! Healthy for you, and even though it starts with sweet tea, a lot of the sugar gets eaten up by the yeast, so not bad for you. It forms this weird, …
Playing Catch Up
I have been missing for a couple of weeks. Work, a trip to visit my sister in the wine country, playing catch up with work, canning, soap, garden, including picking off at least 35 - 40 tomato hornworms, and a little of everything else. Sometimes everything becomes a distraction, but time to get back to …
