Do you guys visit the seaside when summer comes around? I live in an Arizona desert so we don’t have a sea by us. It takes 6 hours to get to the sea from where we live. Actually 4 I believe if you want to drive into another country, that country being Mexico, which is…
Gifts from the past.
Today is my father’s birthday. Actually I need to rewrite that a little differently. Today would be my father’s birthday if he were still alive. It’s one of those days where the ones who remember him think back on the real gifts in life, our memories. So…in remembrance I would like to share one of…
In the garden…smiling flowers everywhere.
Our sunflowers have finally popped up to say hello. We planted them in a different location this time. They are facing our French Doors that lead outside to our back yard. Every morning when I open up the windows I now have a view of rows and rows of Sunflowers everywhere. It’s really nice waking…
A felt grocery store from the 1980’s.
Right now everywhere around us, the chatter is about a little parasite called Cyclospora. I hope I’m getting that spelling correct, it’s a tongue twister for sure. Don’t you dare ask me to attempt saying it, it’s hard enough writing it. It’s a nasty little bug that causes what the whole media is calling explosive…

Country sampler living.
Do you remember that magazine Country sampler? They still sell it but back when I remember it, it was packed full of hand made products, farmhouse style. I loved that magazine, I still do but it only comes out now and then and I am not near a bookstore where I live now. Traveling to…
Grocery shopping for the bees.
June is all about our pollinating friends, so I thought it would be fun to share some photos of all the beautiful flowers I saw at one of my favorite local garden shops. I did a post like this last year as well. I always take photos when visiting gardens because I get some of…
A visit to an art museum.
One of my favorite things to do on a day off is visit a museum. This museum I am sharing with you today is a very popular one and it’s very impressive. I have shared photos from my visits to this museum before. It’s one of my walking trails as well. I heard somewhere they…
In the garden…rain, honey and a little DIY.
The other morning I woke up, opened up our curtains and looked out our big picture window and saw that our street had become a river, sort of, at least it looked that way….not too bad though, just lots of lots of running water. There was a surreal feeling of being in a dream as…
Prayer update.
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for the girls that keep missing in Arizona. Some more prayers were answered. Have patience…God is right there and He hears our prayers. Keep praying for the MMIW, missing women and young girls. I don’t believe this is over yet…I believe there are more involved with this,…
