Another year… I am a new grandmother, and a dog mom again to our new puppy. Christmas takes on new meaning.
I do contemplate blogging again. We shall see.
Wishing anyone reading this a wonderful holiday season and happiest of new years!

A quiet Christmas. Wreath made of oranges from my grove. Happiest of New Year!
[Continue reading...]Back in May, I started spending time “Covid” gardening. To my delight, I happened on some tiny Monarch caterpillars on milkweed I had planted a few years back.

I love the way it turned out! A recurring theme… I love ladies, Sunbonnet Sue, and house […]
