Always an adventure
My Spring Garden These are some decent sized carrots, and a solitary beet from my garden. They were overwintered.

Start Googling of course, and then I come up with the brilliant search query, “Avocado Chocolate Cake.” Then I see this picture from Joy [...]
Simple Sewing Projects Sewing is a lot of fun, or can be, depending on what needs to be done. Today I found a pair of my middle son’s cargo pants in the clean clothes with an enormous hole in the knee, sigh. Three options: donate, cut-offs, or shorts. So, I decided to cut them off, [...]
We rolled in a dead snake and got caught. It was a tiny non-venomous one, but we still smelled to high heaven. Mama bought us some new shampoo by Cain and Abel at Glamour Paws in Atlanta, because she was allergic to the old one (and was getting hives loving us). We smell wonderful now, [...]
