We had our first frost the other night, yes in September! I’m so glad I harvested most of my tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and potatoes the last two weekends. Even though I have a rather small garden, I have been turning the excess into a winter stash. I don’t have enough to can, so I blanch and roast my […]

Many product labels will tell you that you need ingredients that have not been scientifically researched to have any benefits and others […]
Every Monday I take three young adults frolfing. Or do we go frolicking? Sometimes I have so much fun, I feel like a dancing fairy in the forest! We start by choosing our weapons.

How has your office desk been treating you? Office furniture has been a challenge to me ever since I joined the workforce. On my tippy toes, I stretch to 4”11, so a footstool and a below-desk keyboard have always been my essential “office supplies.” Without that keyboard, I developed carpal tunnel syndrome, so I am […]
