Phase II is Underway!
That’s right, we’ve started! It took a while, but we officially started on Friday, October 24th. Though we had lumber delivered two weeks prior, the trusses were delivered last week, then the glorious port-potty arrived on Thursday, and I knew … Continue reading

Queen of the Quick Bread
As we’re getting ready for our first Phase II meeting with our architect tomorrow, not only does that mean design prep, but it means back to baking. Not that the baking ever stopped, it didn’t. But it did get me … Continue reading
Thanksgiving Countdown
Well, it’s t-minus 5 until we gather ’round, pig out and eat turkey, and watch football. (Technically we do that here in the US every Sunday during football season, except for the turkey part). As much as I would love … Continue reading
Chipmunks in Trees
Honestly, I didn’t know they climbed trees. Did you? Maybe I just never noticed. But this year, during the acorn fiesta at the Oak Tree and birding feeding station outside the kitchen window, there they were. Up the tree, on the … Continue reading

I just had the loveliest afternoon out in the garden, pruning and fussing, watering and harvesting. Those are words I honestly never thought would come out of my mouth. But this garden thing, well, I’m kinda enjoying it. (Yes, I … Continue reading
