Everything I Know I Learned From Plants (and dogs)
I am gardening on a tight budget this year. Everything planted in the pots and raised beds came from home grown seedlings, except for a few hard to grow herbs. There aren’t too many actual “flowers” in the mix. I do hope to add some alyssum later for a little bit of frill. I can’t take…
Trail Photos, a Reading, and Fencing Day 1
I just had to post a few photos that one of my fellow trail riders took. I so rarely get photos beyond the ones taken between Luke’s ears. Not sure if you can very clearly see the bridge behind me, but I was pretty happy about getting over it without any problems. I think I…
