My back deck is long overdue for a makeover and I’m ready for change. The gray paint was old, and in need of a new color. The walls were painted a warm brown. Fall seems the perfect time to shed the red and blues of summer, and bring in the brown, orange and greens. The…
The Beginners Book of Essential Oils.
I have been using essential oils in many of the skin care products I make for several years. Essential oils provide healing properties that you do not get with fragrance oils. Recently I reviewed the book “Beginners Guide to Essential Oils” by Christine Dalziel. Chris provides not only concise, easy to read information on a…
Easy Compost Recipe
Every year I say the same thing…..I’m going to start a compost bin. Every year I don’t. Any gardener who wants to grow organically knows that you have to start with healthy soil. There’s no better way to reduce disease in the garden, retain moisture, and improve your clay soil, than to use compost. With…
Flea Market Fall Crafts
I spent the day yesterday trying to salvage what’s left of my garden. Record heat and little rain had left most of my plants needing to be pulled up and thrown into the compost pile. I weeded my blueberries, placed compost and manure around those, and mulched. My strawberry bed was overgrown, but I managed…
Stinky Sneakers
Did you think only boys have stinky socks and sneakers? Well, I did, until I had granddaughters. I have one with THE stinkyest (is that a word) sneakers ever. This summer has been spent in flip flops and sandals, so I haven’t had to suffer through those shoes when they come off after school. But…..school…

Fall BlogHop
I was sitting on my back deck early in the morning a few days ago. I have to go out early, or by 9:00 the humidity and heat will run you back in to the air conditioner. A breeze was blowing and as I enjoyed my morning coffee I noticed the leaves were falling from…

I belong to a great group of home and garden bloggers. One of those bloggers is Beth Billstrom who writes at More than Oregano. She features a new garden each week, and week 12 is me! When I read the other posts, I realize how varied these gardens are and it doesn’t matter if you have…
Little Red Wagons
The little red wagon, which is usually good for tidying up in the garden, hauling plants, mulch, water, and kids, has taken on a new life. Even with the wheels missing, they can be repurposed and find a place in the home and garden. This small red wagon found at a yard sale was a…
