Thaw Days! 🏞
When winter comes up fast and hits with a bang, it creates a problem for many gardeners. This year, my dad turned 80 but he and my mom recently bought a new place and he has a couple of hundred, yes that was correct, a couple of hundred bulbs he wanted to plant before the…

Read MoreInterview with AEM and the Holiday
Did you see the interview? I was very impressed with all of it. Hopefully people found it entertaining.

I have located my books, my special shelf, added lighting, cleaned window ledges and began decorating the walls and shelves. After the Thanksgiving weekend I will be working in my office…
Read MoreThankful ❤️🤔
Like lots of people I keep adding to my thankful list. When I was teaching we made a paper chain, each link something someone was thankful for, and we hung it on our ceiling in the classroom. It stayed all year reminding students to look up and remember what they were thankful for instead of…

I don’t know how it works in your house, but in mine the food gets better the closer you are to a major feasting holiday. For instance last night I made chicken Alfredo, with bread.
