Sadly, this means saying good by to the pepper plants. I hope to plant some more pea plants in their place. The chard…

  • Christmas for The Dogs

    The weatherman had been promising me a big storm for this past weekend. But then on Saturday the storm never rolled in and it was just too beautiful to hang out indoors.

  • Early Christmas Presents!

    Last week I was having a bad week. I had a case of the winter blahs. I was just unmotivated at work and at home. But I got out of my funky mood when I received a package from Chara Michelle. She had a drawing on her website and I who never win anything was…
