Lasagna Gardening?
Gone are the days of tilling the lawn to create a new flower and/or vegetable bed!
I’m From Lebanon, Land of Milk and Honey
I’m from the land of balconies and terraces….
Winter Respite
Even as I’m vacuuming up and shredding the fallen leaves (winter arrives late in Texas), the buds of the next season’s blooms are pushing their way through the baren branches.
Chard and Lentil Soup
As I’ve said many times before, I plan our meals around what vegetables are in season and what is growing in my backyard.
Dismantling and Reconstruction
Watch out for being shackled to your own convictions instead of devotion to God, the embodiment of love.
“Screaming” Prayers
I woke last Sunday morning with an old hymn running through my head. However, I only remembered the words in Arabic, the worship language of my childhood.
Royal Icing for Cookie Decorating
I’ve been watching Christmas baking shows and am inspired by the talented cookie decorators who create absurdly intricate designs. I say to myself, “I can do that!”
Fall Cleanup
It’s Fall in your garden, the busiest time of year for prepping for spring blooms, clean up, putting perennials to bed, and planting winter veggies.
Make it…. Chai Tea Latte!
The weather is finally turning cooler and I start craving warm drinks. Chai latte is a pleasant alternative for us non-coffee drinkers!
Home Comings and Goings
We’re all just walking each other home. The month of October has been a blur of going home, coming home, and feeling at home!
