Weekend Snaps | My Mother’s Day

I’m not quite sure how we managed, but our weather today for Mother’s Day was absolutely stunning! Low 70s, sunny, and (this is very important) light winds!

Sweet Corn Risotto

I’d like to share a few observations from the course of the past few days or so. These will be random observations, so if you were hoping to read a well-constructed blog post tonight, you’re a bit out of luck. My brain is just not working that way right now. 😉 We found out today that this […] Read more…

The Glory of Gardening.

“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.” – Alfred Austin What is it about the garden that just calms me? I didn’t do much tonight except some stray weeding but even that […] Read more…
