Back to Reality

We have been road tripping...hence the lack of posts. I have lots of pictures and stories, but for now a short post. The garden went crazy when we were gone, and I came home to lots of good things. I love these beets! Not only are they neat, they are so sweet and delicious.




My first ever home grown ear of corn:


I was thrilled to see it came out even and beautiful, and it was super good!


We stopped at one thrift shop on our trip in Fort Collins, Colorado. They had just opened and we scored a few cheap things. These awesome mugs for $1.50:


And this framed weather vane for $2.


I am very glad to be home. More to come.
