This is an easy project that all ages can enjoy. All you need are a variety of flowers and leaves to experiment with for water coloring. You will also need something to crush and grind the flowers with. Rocks and a hard surface are okay to use to crush your flower petals. After you crush…
In the garden…harvesting wild plants.
There is a lot going on with our gardens right now, we are having fun in these early stages of getting it all put together. Meanwhile there are natural plants popping up everywhere on our property that I have been trying to keep up with in harvesting and drying. Some plants I am using the…
Diy a little kindness.
I believe these are coming back. It’s just something easy and fun to do with your little ones and the fun part is going outside for a walk on the trails and leaving your little treasures for someone else to enjoy. It’s summer after all and everyone is out enjoying the outdoors. Thought I share…
A whole bunch of sea shells.
On this Memorial Day I thought I pull out something from the past that is a treasure from my father-in law who served in the military years ago. What I’m about to share is a rare one. We have a huge collection of shells that were passed down to us from my brother in law/father-in-law….
In the garden…garden tables and infusion oils.
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…
