Getting Closer to Salad Time

The end of May is getting closer, and it has been a rather busy month.  We got everything into the garden, had to replant a few things that didn’t quite make it – – now the waiting (and watching) starts!   Checking out the garden on a daily basis is now a routine for us, just [...]

Building the Perfect Garden Spot

We have been super busy over here getting our garden area ready for planting.  The raised garden bed has been built, the bed liner is in, and it’s now filled with rich garden soil.  It looks so beautiful and sometimes it is hard to believe that “we” made it.  We believe we took the correct [...]

Dreaming of Summer Blooms

We just had a few days of snow, yes snow, and it got me to thinking about how the summer months bring so many beautiful blooms in the garden.  With the arrival of Spring we watch our plants start to emerge from the ground, and new birth begins.  We dream of  what our gardens will look like, [...]

The Ins & Outs of Vegetable Sprouts

It’s been one week since we planted our seeds and we have enjoyed watching them pop out of the dirt in their seed cells and stretch towards the grow light.  It’s amazing actually, watching a little seed turn into an actual plant and know that one day you’ll be picking vegetables from it.  We planted [...]

The Easter Bunny Called, He Wants His Eggs Back

Last night we dyed our Easter eggs, like everyone else probably did.  We used the traditional Paas pastel egg dye and we also used a new 24K Gold dye set.  We made 18 colored Easter eggs for the family, 9 in the pastel color and 9 in the 24K Gold.  To our amazement, the pastel ones [...]

Easter Cake Pops – Carrot Cake Infused with Cream Cheese

There is no way that I could let the Easter holiday pass us by without making some Easter Cake Pops for the family.  I spent the entire day yesterday making these delicious Carrot Cake cake pops injected with cream cheese and I am so pleased at how they turned out, not to mention how yummy [...]

OPENING DAY for Cleveland Indians

Today is opening day for the Cleveland Indians, and I wanted to share some photographs from past games.  Go Tribe! 

Bikinis, Sprouts & Hair Stiffy’s

This time of year, we all “wonder” if we can fit into our bathing suits, and the dread begins.  Man, should I have eaten that last piece of cheesecake, potato chips, or ice cream?  So, yesterday, I tried on my bikini to see if it fits.  Does this bathing suit make me look fat?  I think [...]

Squeaky Toys Are Not The Only Things Dogs Find Interesting

Being a dog, we amuse ourselves with some of the  most interesting things.  We can walk by something and it just screams out to us to PLAY with it, so we do.  Then sometimes, things just present themselves to us, for instance, when the sun light peeks through the mini blinds and shines on the [...]

In Honor of National Puppy Day

I missed National Puppy Day last week, so in honor of it I wanted to share with you some of the best puppy photographs of me growing up.  I was born on July 18, 2010, but I was adopted from the APL on September 12, 2010 into my forever home.   I heard that my Daddy and [...]
