2nd Thursday – Gardening: Although I have quite a large garden, I have very little ground area that receives enough sun to accommodate growing fruits and vegetables. Therefore, I have to be creative. I have incorporated a number of vegetables into the perennial garden beds – a number of
I took a quick walk with my camera this morning to discover the ever-changing spring garden. Things are happening so fast in my garden I don’t want to miss a thing! Some of the Scilla are blooming in the east garden. The Spiderwort, a vigorous plant is popping up everywhere –
New-Old Brick Patio In our garden I love that we have several places for one to sit and to relax. We have the blessing of having front and back porches as well as a couple side patios. Underneath trees or at the edges of the flower beds I have placed benches

This cauliflower lasagna is the perfect way to use up that head of cauliflower that’s been sitting in the back of the fridge calling to you every time you open the refrigerator door. Eaten as is, or with marinara poured over the top, this is a great way to get
This past week, I’ve been thinking about the Pantry Lifestyle and how at times we must accomplish more doing and less buying. Especially when we find we must economize and get the most out of each dollar. So… I found myself pondering some of the ways I’ve learned to do
My refrigerator is stuffed far more than usual as I await preparations for the Easter meal. Christopher and Miss M. will attend her church in the town where she lives and then drive here for our Easter celebration. This menu… along with Thanksgiving… is set in stone. The Easter meal
It’s wet out. Soggy, and not very fun working out in the garden. My husband likes it better than I do. But one thing I do love is taking the food from the garden and preparing it for dinner – for either our family or guests. That’s my kind of
I have been looking for some old ladders to use in my garden and in my home since….forever! I think everyone else is looking for them too (since I can’t seem to find even one old rickety wooden ladder). I thought I’d share some ladder ideas that I’d been saving.
By Holly Clegg – We know bran is full of fiber and blueberries are brain food but you may be cutting out yummy foods previously deemed bad for you and missing out on their surprising health benefits. Sound too good to be true? Not this time. You do not have

Once again a week is passing by so fast that I think it must be Tuesday and my cell phone tells me it is Thursday. Hmmm… am I the only one that uses my cell phone as both a calendar and a watch… and a phone? Anyway, I had hoped
I like to celebrate the holidays by adding some special seasonal touches around the house. It’s tradition in our home. I think my family would think there was something wrong with me if I didn’t do a little something! This year I kept my Easter decorations just to my living
Actually, it’s my garden yesterday 🙂 Another summery day in the ATL! I spent most of the morning weeding this bed & refreshing the pinebark mulch. Take a look – My yellow Lady Banks Rose is in bloom! I cut it back about two months ago because it was all the way
Strawberries … our family loves them. My husband just added to our garden 24 new plants to our existing beds, a few weeks ago. Did you know that strawberries are one of the simplest fruit plants to grow in a “home” garden? I don’t think people realize how easy they
Working from home is a joy but I must admit I’ve been pretty distracted lately by the unusual weather we’ve been enjoying in Western New York. I understand we get one more day of it before the temps drop down into the 50s on Friday. The daffodils are in full
