Having received shipping confirmations for the seeds we ordered, the girls and I have been talking about just where we are going to plant what we're getting, and what we need for what we're getting. In the two years we've been here, we've been working at reclaiming neglected spaces before we could even consider planting … Continue reading Garden layout plans

Little progress, good progress and making do
Well, we did it. We did our monthly shop today. Or perhaps I should now call it our bi-monthly shop, since we will have to go into the city again to get more of the big, heavy stuff we got only half of what we normally do. Yesterday, I had hoped to get some more … Continue reading Little progress, good progress and making do

That looks like it’s toast…
While doing my rounds this morning, I was able to take a closer look at the bird bath. Throughout the winter, when chipping ice out to add water, I've been very careful not to touch the bird bath itself. It already had cracks showing on it, and now that the ice is melting away again, … Continue reading That looks like it’s toast…

No-Knead Focaccia
My daughters were sweethearts and baked the new recipe they found. It's the Shockingly Easy No-Knead Focaccia from Bon Apetit. We did make one change in the recipe. We didn't have any extra virgin olive oil. We did, however, have avocado oil, so we used that, instead. It worked very well! We also didn't have … Continue reading No-Knead Focaccia
