Gardening Tips
My hope is for all to receive sanctuary and encouragement, including hospitality venues and ideas, conversational meditations, and organic gardening tips. Topics will range from the deeply personal to the light and entertaining, but all with the purpose of uplifting you while encouraging you to think deeply.
Quick Fresh Apple or Pear Coffee Cake
Our home in Lebanon was filled with the comings and goings of company during the months surrounding Christmas. Since mom usually had on hand the Master Baking Mix (October 15 blog post) ingredients and the abundant fresh fruit of Lebanon, her quick go-to crowd pleasing coffee cake was the featured item of a winter’s morning breakfast.
Gathering Again
Thanksgiving is here. We’ve spent this last year isolated and apart from family. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to re-gather.
Mulch, a Pile of Winter Blankets and Homemade Quilts
We did not have central air and heating growing up in Lebanon, but we didn’t need it either! The temperate climate gifted us with rolling summer breezes either from the sea or from the still snow covered high peaks of the mountain ranges.
