While I don’t really expect to see any actual beans growing from the decimated bean plants in my garden, it’s nice to see a few green leaves and flowers rise up out of the brown stalks. Continue reading
You’d think that since I’m in my backyard every day I would notice all the significant changes taking place with the raised beds. Continue reading
I’m all for three-day holiday weekends. But why does the work week following Memorial Day seem so long? Continue reading
I know this is a few days late, but I just had to share my finds from the day of shopping last week on my birthday. Since husband had work and daughter school, I decided to go to Burnet, about 40 miles west of Georgetown, on the edge of Hill Country. Continue reading
