Adding a greenhouse to the garden We have officially lived here for three years now. Although the yard had some pretty good bones, we had a lot of updating we needed to do. Last year we tore out old scrubs we just could not save, trimmed trees, and planted a few new plants in the…

The Making of a great road trip
2020 was a difficult time for all of us, but our challenges began in 2019 when we decided to leave California and head to Idaho. Leaving everything you know is not for the faint of heart. There are challenges you do not even think of, the first one being that your new state does not…
Road trip day 4 and 5, marked an item off my bucket list with a visit to the Silos.
Like so many I have watched every episode of Fixer Upper, and more then once I have been inspired by Joanna’s designs. So when we decided to take a road trip I made sure to pencil in a visit to the silos. We planned a two nights stay in Waco so I could have a…
Today January 11, 2021- The view from my window
I belong to a group called view from my window. In the group people from all over the world share views from their window. Some views are spectacular, some are ordinary, but all are unique. This morning as I was looking at the pictures, I thought this is one of the realist things on social…

Today- November 20, 2020 There is always something to be thankful for.
Thanksgiving is near, and with it I will be another year older. I have lived a few years and love the fact that with each new year there becomes a new discovery. The great part is that as we grow older, we see them more clearly. This year I discovered how blessed I am to…
Today- November 8th 2020 Change in the seasons
There was a light dusting of snow (2-3 inches) and it’s still snowing this morning. Looking outside I realize my plants will go dormant, the animals will hibernate, and I need to pull out my winter clothes. As things go along life will change with the season. Nature teaches us that to survive we need…
