Last night we celebrated Canada Day and a friends little boys birthday party with a big crowd of awesome families! It was our first time at their home but it is located in a beautiful area. They have a big old yard that the kids all ran around in. We sat around a big fireContinue reading “Helpful Kids!”

Yard Work Kind of Weekend
There are a number of yard work related chores I’ve been needing to get done. So far I’ve been picking away at them. Last weekend it was literally picking away at them. The front yard has been overtaken with weeds, so I spent time picking a bunch of them out. There are still piles thereContinue reading “Yard Work Kind of Weekend”
Defiant Squash
This spaghetti squash has been cut back a number of times because it kept trying to get in with the tomatoes. The other day we came out to find it made it’s way back in with them again.

The waste resource management group here was giving away free compost yesterday. We took advantage and I wentContinue reading “Gardening”
Great Grandmothers Peony

Gardening and plants are not anywhere near my specialty, nor do I even particularly enjoy it much but I planted a new plan in the flower bed I dug the other day, and I am excited about it. It’s really theContinue reading “Great Grandmothers Peony”
Raspberry Time Travel
There are not many things in this world that can immediately send me to another time and place. For some it is a song or a smell, but for me, just sometimes, when I place a freshly picked raspberry in my mouth my mind is flooded with memories from the past. All of a suddenContinue reading “Raspberry Time Travel”
