So, we are cleaning out the garden … gathering up the last of the ‘bounty’ and putting things to bed. I am currently trying to dry sunflower seeds in my sunny studio window (where all the garden pre-starts began) … We emptied out our sweet potato barrels … not an amazing amount, but enough to …
But a GOOD week! Our Josie had her babies while I was working Sunday night. DH kept me updated. So, we spent our week on ‘pup watch’, with DH taking the day shift and me watching over the nights. While I miss my studio time, it always amazes me to see our babies grow and …
Where are you? Michigan and spring are so NOT-IN-TUNE with each other … So, while we’re experiencing frequent snowfall in between teaser-weather days, I’ve been cooking. We made Seafood Alfredo, a big pot of Spinach Sausage Bean soup (with added vegetables), and tonight we tried Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Pesto – with a substitute … …

We’ve had a busy week … welcoming pups on Tuesday. Our Georgie is doing a great job as a first time Mom, but we’re staying close to keep an eye on all. So – I’ve had plenty of time to work on cards – stamping, masking, die-cutting, coloring … And(!) – I organized my growing …
Wrapped up all of my mandatory nurse classes last week, YAY! Got through the weekend shifts, and heard such bizarre complaints, I can’t even mention them… My goodness, but folks are losing coping skills by the bucket-loads! Moving on … On Tuesday, DH and I made nachos, making the chips (cut tortillas) in the air …
