It’s that time of year again, gardening time. I’m so looking forward to this. Everyone around here is telling us to hold on a minute there because April sometimes gets a freeze before that old Winter decides to pack up and leave. They tell us to plant after April 15th. I didn’t wait completely though….

Thrifting and felting.
The other week when we stopped off at one of the restore shops, they had a whole box of old magazines. The name of this magazine always makes me laugh. It’s a magazine that was everywhere back in Arizona, and now here in the Ozarks I’m seeing it as well. I picked up a couple…
The Sugar Gum Tree.
I discovered something the other day, I mean learned something new that is. It’s about a certain kind of tree. The first time I came across this tree was on one of my early morning walks through a cemetery. There are all kinds of huge mature trees through out this peaceful cemetery. The tombs go…
Day three after the storm.
When this is posted it will actually be day 4 , and this post will be my last storm update post. I wanted to share with everyone what a Winter storm looks like. I should have taken some photos of the piles and piles of dirty snow being made into tiny little snow mountains all…
Day two after the storm.
We went out, and let me tell you….trying to find a good parking spot and walking around ice is not such an easy thing . I want to experience the whole thing. So…after three days of the city salting and clearing most roads, and with temps warming up to melt the snow, we went out…
The storm is over.
Day two of snowmageddon and so far it felt like the Winter storm from last year and the year before that. I wonder why this one came with so much terror. Exploding trees, a whole grid collapse headed our way, depending on who you listened to in the media world. There was more humor with…
Before the storm.
It looks like we were in the middle of it, what was headed our way. The day before the storm, the stores were packed. People were buying bread, milk and eggs. Looking down the bread isle reminded me of Covid days when the shelves were all empty. I have never experienced this before. Growing up…
A year of photos.
” This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it “. Psalm 118;24 Every January, at the start of a new year, I like to share some of my favorite photos from the year before. It’s not such an easy task, there are so many happy memories…
DIY craft containers.
Don’t throw it away. Anything that your food comes in, or products come in, you may be able to use it for something else. So instead of sending it to the dump, look at it for awhile and see what you can do with it to make it’s purpose something else. This is a small…
Finding your peace through hobbies.
The other day I came across this little clip in my recommendations. It was 105 relaxing hobbies to start. Starting new hobbies are not only great ways to relax us, they are good for memory skills, and our mental health too. It’s also a great way to work on keeping our motor skills in tune…
