Going on Vacation
In July, everyone seems to be going on vacations at once.
Rum Cake
I love baking cakes, especially bundt cakes!
Drought of the Soul
You might have noticed that I haven’t written in a while. My soul has been passing through a season of drought.
Succession Gardening
A gardening question I’m asked frequently is, “how do you have things always growing season after season?”
Skillet Tamale Pie
We’ve had several days of April showers which have kept our Texas spring temperatures on the cool side. With this wet, cool weather, I start craving Tex Mex food, but definitely don’t want to go out!
Honeysuckle and Cheese Boxes
How are cheese boxes and honeysuckle vines related?!?!
Under Water
As I strolled around my yard inspecting which perennials were showing the signs of spring greenery at their roots, I thought of how many of our behaviors stay hidden under layers until a change in circumstances brings them out.
Sacrificial Sowing
This title probably has a spiritual connotation for you with the assumption you’re about to read some deep meditation. In a way you’re right, because our creator has a purpose for each and every plant in its biosphere!
Orange Pound Cake
I enjoy experimenting with making different versions of an old fashioned pound cake, especially since I have fresh eggs everyday from my chickens.
Gifting
What?!?! A pile of dirt for a Valentine’s gift? You’re kidding, right?!?!
