I started straightening up my screened porch over the weekend now that the horrible yellow pollen isn’t everywhere. My porch is divided into a dining area and a seating area so I started working on the seating area first. I bought this blue scrolly rug at TJMaxx because my husband
“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be
As many of you know, I’ve loved and used toile de jouy (simply known as toile) in my home for many many years. So I found it very funny that Pottery Barn is now carrying toile kitchen towels, toile aprons, curtains, pillows and a really pretty toile chair (WANT that
Not only my ponderings but it seems my entire life has been wrapped around the lawn and garden this past week. It’s just that time of year when one is at the demand of nature and everything else has to be worked in among the planting and weeding. But I
One of the things I love, when my kids are either home from college or they’re inviting their friends over, is to reach into my pantry and have all the ingredients that I need for a yummy meal. A few weekends when we headed out for spring break to NYC,
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
I was hoping to have a couple book posts written by now but the Easter Holiday, lawn-garden work, and the addition of making my way to the walking path and spending forty-five minutes there each day have made my days go by too fast. The walking trail is quite lovely

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
By Tracey Leber- Life seems to always be so busy, with places to go and endless things “to do,” so when I set a date to have a friend over for lunch, I like to make an extra effort to create a special little space for us to catch up
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
