If you think that you don’t have a green thumb, then this project might just be for you! I made an indoor succulent dish garden over the weekend and so can you. It’s such an easy, quick...

Easter Sunday will be here before we know it! I finally got around to doing a  little Easter decorating this week. I only bought 2 new things at the Dollar Tree (some candy and plastic eggs), otherwise...

Aren’t you ready to bake and eat all things pumpkin! I know I am! I have been on the search for a healthy pumpkin oatmeal cookie recipe for the past few months. In my search for the...

The weather has just been perfect for the past week so I’ve been a busy bee getting my summer vegetable garden cleaned up and planting the fall/winter vegetables. I had such wonderful success using row covers on...

We had one very rainy stormy day this week so I decided to do a few indoor projects. Besides working on my bookcases, I also took down my polka dot curtains which I’ve enjoyed all summer. Here’s...

I finally did something with the unfinished chipboard letters I got from Hobby Lobby a long time ago. The regular price of this size letter is $1.99 and I got them at 40% off. If you wait...

When we moved into this house we had an old apple tree, a whole bunch of crabapples  and an apricot tree on the property. Now the apricot was planted right outside the backdoor and every summer we’d...

I’m starting to get emails asking if I’m o.k. so I thought I’d a better post about my basil! Yes, I’m fine and I’ll give a personal update at the end of this post (I still have...

The sunflowers I planted in my cutting garden bed are tightly closed but will open soon! I really love zinnias. They’re so easy to grow from seed here and come in such beautiful colors. Get a package...

I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my back fence line since all my trees and bushes were cut down by Colonial Pipeline during their vicennial right of way maintenance. Since I can’t replant...
