What are you passionate about?
I love to putz around the house . . . decorating, moving furniture, moving it back again….that’s another story for another day though!

Who Dunnit?
On a stroll around the garden to count still growing pumpkins, (they seem to appear daily) I came across this . . . this pumpkin had a lot of promise — it had a unique shape, was getting larger every day, and was about ready to start turning orange.

Slipping Skins & Hot Water Baths
It’s been all about peaches this week (and painting, but we’ll get to that tomorrow) For me, canning is a bit of an art form.
