This is a bit different type blog post for me - not trying to give advice or mental health counseling - just sharing some thoughts. I have flosstube/YouTube on while stitching and earlier I was watching a guy and he said something like . . he felt like today many people lack a sense of purpose. I certainly don't know (or need to know) whether or not those with whom I come in contact have a ...
The Garden
You know I love my garden. Several times a day I walk around and check on everything - probably one of the most watched gardens around! There's one lettuce plant still living among the sweet potatoes. The lettuce will probably be bitter in a few days. We've been eating a few leaves off it for sandwiches. I have more lettuce growing inside under grow lights but this one is the last of our ...
Squash Bugs

The ones that have a large enough pad to cover the wound are just huge. While the finger is still store, getting ...
Rhubarb BBQ Sauce
No preaching to me about what I should not be doing, OK? I was careful. My finger is bandaged and I wore a disposable glove AND a thicker rubber glove. Beth Ferrier (some of you may remember her from quilting) posted on FB yesterday that she had made this recipe for Rhubarb BBQ Sauce. Beth had mentioned maybe using dried cherries instead of raisins. I do not like raisins so I subbed dried ...
